He replaced that car with a (I think) 1991 Olds Cutlass Supreme which was even worse. His best Olds was his first - an '83 Omega with an electrical system that shorted out the first day he owned it.

Really a good case study for why so many people started buying Japanese...

To add insult to injury, I went into my '85 Century directly from my ol' yeller '68 GTO (2 weeks after it caught fire and 3 weeks after I got married). I figured I should invest in a NEW car.... the first and last new car purchase I ever made.
After being accustomed to that Pontiac 400 torque, that thing almost got me killed the first time I gunned it on an entrance ramp to merge into fast moving traffic. It wouldn't even get out of it's own way, much less that 18 wheeler I pulled in front of.

I think it should be posted in the 3rd Gen Firebird section for brevity. (save the photos, too)
Yeah, it would be a great first car for someone's 16 year old, to get them started with the Pontiac bug, without enough power to get them into serious trouble.

This thread has started to become cluttered with legitimate ads recently.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
