I feel like we had similar childhoods, basically the same, except our last family Pontiac was a ‘83 Grand Prix. I then bought an ‘89 Sunbird SE (5speed), and a ‘93 Grand Am GT (HO Quad 4/5speed). I do miss Pontiac, perhaps they could come back as the electric car division to take on Tesla?

Growing up I learned to drive a stick in a ‘63 E-Type convertible, man you couldn’t stall that I6 it was so torquey! Drove it a few times when my dad was out of town, once he came back early to put his hand on the hood and I was grounded lol. My last times were dallying it for a few weeks to my summer job until I…

Congrats david! I have to admit I’m kind of jealous whenever you post these, my wrenching days are over (for awhile), living in nyc and because of back problems I can’t lift anything more than 10lbs kind of kills it!

I also miss the space shuttle! It was truly an amazing technical achievement being built by the lowest bidder. It may have never lived up to promises, but it did many amazing things given it was designed in the 70's a-mist constant budget pressure.  I look forward to the US sending our own astronauts into space again…

He’s not doing MOAB (isn’t it cancelled anyways?)

Total joke this week, I get that its funny to suggest stuff like an ampicar or a 70's caddy but come on!

Great post!

Yes they did, I would love a vibe with the 6speed!

So basically they are “bug chasers”, this is sick!

It rotates, he’s done it several times!

Right I completely forgot about this!  He’s a gear head like us :-)  Also FU trump!

Hah hardly! I had a HO version in my ‘93 Grand am gt, loved to eat head gaskets for lunch!

I had a ‘87 sport truck version, blue/silver, 4cyl/4 speed.  Bit of a dog but the 4wd got me to Canton NY my freshman year of college!

Red five coming in!

I don’t hate this lol, sometimes I pine for 90's vehicles, I think cause I moved to Manhattan in ‘02 so my last cars were ‘90s (and a 2001 Pathfinder).

Did they fix the transmissions by ‘07? My moms ‘02 shit the bed, biggest turd she’s ever owned, wasn’t even worth donating, str8 to the scrapper!

This made me LOL :-D

I hear you, I had a Rogue over xmas, it wasn’t terrible but I was underwhelmed. Best part was having carplay lol.

Funny my first thought was this, I think they did it 2x IIRC. I wondered if they were using WCSYB LOL

I didn’t think it was an SUV lol, I was like what sedan did they use for the header photo!
