Well I've taken ocn's "advice"
For once 'm not even aware of half of these pissing contests that are going on. I've got limited time to f**k off online & all I know is that certain members here are not here for the cars. If you're not here too contribute to C&G but are constantly baiting fight or just wasting everyone's time with utter stupidity than I lose patience w you after while.

HUh? I think it's the Cavalier/Sunfire that are LESS of a rebadge. At least they're both 100% GMs. A Toyota Motor & mechanical guts in a GEO body are not "less of a rebadge" than a Pontiac wearing completely different skin than a Chevy. Either way, we're splicing atoms. Pontiac died years ago. There were a few great products that gave us false hope, like the 4th gen. Firebird/Trans Am Holden-GTO & most recently the awesome & death deifying Zeta G8-GT which will go don in history as one of the best cars to ever wear the arrowhead. It's just too bad that GM sucks at life so damn much. Pontiac is being killed of in vein, a good solid product lineup would sell like hotcakes, as it is though they can not even outsell lame turd-buckets like Scion.

If Matchbox made one I missed it and have never seen it. That would shock me... esp. since I've got hundreds of Matchbox cars. not as many as my Hot Wheels but still a LOT!

Name the Truck Manufacturer(s)
Yup. You're much better versed than most though. I bet about 99.45% of Americans would not have a clue.

You're a complete tool. "Pontiac circle-jerk"? f@#k YOU! Why don;t YOU leave this forum and start posting on "Prius Drivers Who TROLL on GM forums (.com)" Vulgar humor is annoying as f@#k when that is all you spew. Your posts just come off like pure disgusting, perverse, juvenile idiocy. Gawd, I never thought I'd know a GUY who is more sarcastic & more of a bitch than my wife is during her visit from "Aunt Flo" Sorry some of us are "circle-jerking" about Pontiac you f@#k-stick, If you could actually discuss CARS for once instead of just acting like a $h!head juvenile delinquent spewing insults, innuendos & nasty digs at fellow members, you might notice that ANOTHER part of Americana is being put to death at the Guillotine... or perhaps at the "Catherine wheel" More American history, legacy & prosperity is being flushed down the toilet. But you just go right ahead & keep posting about your usual hobbies: Mullet Envy, sodomy, incest & circle jerks...

Although this last one is far from "stock" it has NOT had its roof chopped.

Leaving for München, Deutschland this weekend
I'm still uncertain about his legacy. He certainly designed a few awkward &/or uhhhh-gleee BMWs but then again some of them have grown on me. I know he quit BMW, but isn't he now consulting, or he has his own design house or something... And wasn't Bangle from the USA? Midwest IIRC?

Sorry Dodgefan... I'm with O.B. on this one. I too hope with all my heart & soul that Chrysler, GM & Ford all survive, rebuild and someday thrive again. It still breaks my heart that Oldsmobile and Plymouth have died in "recent" times. Imperial & AMC were killed off in my youth. Add that to the demise of Packard, LaSalle, Studebaker, Duesenberg/Cord/Auburn, Pierce Arrow, Marmon, Peerless, Franklin, Duryea, Stutz, Hudson, Stanley Steamer, Locomobile, Nash, Rambler, Hupmobile, Baker Electric, REO, Essex, Thomas... I could go on long enough to crash the forum.

What is your next car purchase? revisited...
Hahahah! Everyone laugh at 68 being a poor blue-collar worker with limited funds. I'll def. own one someday. And the catalytic converters will go MIA.

dealer wants to buy Pontiac from GM
Prediction: 2019 A.D. General Motors CEO "It would have been LESS costly to keep making Pontiacs at a loss than it was to kill the brand over the past few years." Those who do not learn from their mistakes... Oldsmobile comes to mind.

An ode to a Dodge Ram
THAT bad Camino? Well when GM wants to they make a fine manual trans. Maybe someday I'll have SBC power in my Benz, shifted through an M22 or T10. Four on the floor FTW.

As usual, the mint green cab-forward car with the mid-engined/3-passenger layoutis the one that stump almost everyone. I love this car because it was one of the first cars I fell in love with as a kid. Years before I ever knew what a Chevy, Cadillac or GM were. My dad had a "WhizzWheels" 1:64 toy replica of this fascinating concept. I still have it to this day, with an awesome patina & half it's paint worn off. Turns out it was powered by Chevrolet 327, and it's styling was ahead of it's time enough where you guys all assumed it was a lot newer then it really is. Another awesome feature of this car is the way it foreshadowed the 1993 McLaren F1 exotic road car. WMJ: You're right about the Alfa Romeo Bat Eleven. BUT No Dodge Brother's product appears in here.

GMC emblems for WMJ
LoL I actually dropped a big sign-up bonus from UPS towards a crap-load of parts over a year ago. I have enough stuff bought & put aside that when family life lets me take a breather I can finally get the nailhead back together I'll have the B-59 in better shape than ever. Two jobs, two young girls, a wife & three German tanks keep me busy.... once the summer gets going I need to get my arse in gear.

GMC emblems for WMJ
Oh... Sorry dude, I suck. IIRC, I read your original post at about 3:45am on my way to UPS to load trucks. I must have just burned the "GMC emblem" part into my brain and forgot the Jimmy part. What year Jimmy...? does the one in my pic. match or is it a different year/font?

Ass-Kickin' Engine Of The Day: Chrysler IV-2220 V16
_WANT!!!! I need one of those, I'll power my Peterbilt 359 Rat Rod with one! Funny thing is, I was considering a trivia question today based on the carrier-based U.S. Navy aircraft of WWII. Great minds think alike.

Mexico fights swine flu with 'pandemic potential'
How many of those deaths are directly a result of the Flu I wonder? How many are because people do not get hospitalized until it's too late or blow off Dr.'s warnings?

A little landscape project
While I can certainly appreciate & respect this kind of hard work, esp. since I did landscaping throughout college as one of my many part time jobs, I'm not motivated enough to ever do much in this way for myself. The only thing I plan on having in my my front yard once I own a house is dandelions & a few scary Rat-Rods. The B-59 would be the one to get garage space.
