    RIP Pontiac

    The creator of the GTO--the muscle car of my yoot--is defunct as of today.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    It's been defunct for years. Nothing like taking a Buick and trying to make it look cool by giving it sporty names and a cockpit-like interior.

    I've never owned a Pontiac (or any other GM-built car, for that matter) and am not particularly distressed by the passing of the marque. I just thought it was worth noting.

    It's okay though. Most of us here are Buick age anyway.

    We bought a 95 Grand Am in 97 with 40K miles on it. Kept it until 01. Best little FWD car we've ever had! Quality.

    My first car was a eight year old '56 Star Chief Safari, (Chevy Nomad in Pontiac clothing):)
