I’m sorry to hear that. I used to work with the individual who started the PHS. He was very cordial and polite and well respected within GM. He was in my mind, Mr. Pontiac. I heard of his a passing a while ago and it saddened me. He was one of the “few good ones”.

I had the same thought, but more likely to serve as one of the taxi vehicles that GM stored near the airport for employees traveling to the DPG to sign out instead of paying for a rental. However, GM PEP vehicles were further discounted depending on the amount of mileage put on them. Since this vehicle was sold at

Another “alleged paint color name” was Catch Me Copper.

Read somewhere about rejected names for Mopar’s “high impact” body colours. I can’t believe someone would have floated “Statutory Grape” for what eventually became Plum Crazy.  But hey it was the 60’s and political correctness wasn’t in vogue yet.

I started my automotive career at an assembly plant that made full sized vans. I get nostalgic every time I see one (from that era) on the road or at car show, especially if it’s been well cared for. I always wonder if I may have watched it “roll off the line” during my time there. I’m sure this thing will appeal

I think Laura Branigan would have been a better pitch person for this Nissan.

Another vote for Craig here.  Going to be bummed when he leaves the franchise.

Yup.  Even his hair-piece was invented by Q.

He looks like he’s right out of “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” in this photo.

WHAMM! KAPOW! & OUCH!

One look at the photo reminds of an era when I was kid, thus I want that car as it stands for nostalgia’s sake. Then my adult self reminds my inner child that all those late 70's early 80's Mopars were equipped that travesty known as “Lean Burn”.

I’d used the $8K for a real Rolex.

Look at the sidewall on those tires!!  What are they an 80 aspect ratio?  They could have been used on the lunar land rover.

I wasn’t admonishing couples for not standing apart in a grocery store line-up. There’s just no need to shop in pairs in a time like this when one person can do the job on their own.

It’s scary to see what’s going on in your state, given that it’s a COVID hot zone, in the top five nationwide. Doesn’t help when shitheads on Fox News post crap like this:

I wish they would put up similar signs at my grocery store. I still see couples standing together while waiting in line to get in. One day I see a guy in an electric wheel chair come out of the store on his own. Hell if that guy can shop alone, then one of the two able bodies standing by a grocery cart could easily

When I think Cadillac, I think Northstar powered ‘92 Seville and Eldorado. That’s when Cadillac turned a corner and could be competitive with the entry level luxury market. Sadly, Cadillac took a dark turn in the mid 2000's with the first gen STS a CTS, but came back strong with the second & third gen CTS’s and the

That puts the Dukes of Hazzard to shame. The fellow flew through the air without the use of a second generation Charger or a ramp.
