Thanks! I have the analog dash, but the car is from Canada, so it's unique in its own right with the SI cluster. The digital dash is cool! I've only seen a few in person.

Dont let that mentality bother you...... I was a diehard Mopar nut just because I liked them when nobody else did as I grew up in a mostly GM family... when that "Corvette" mentality took over the Mopar scene I jumped out of it with both feet... Now I own Chevrolets, Fords and even an AMC ,I still have a soft spot for Mopars but cant stand the stereotype that comes with them so I rarely drive them anymore, when I do go to a cruise night I flat out refuse to park near the crowd of whatever I am driving as I Loath that mentality and wont be a part of any Clique... most brand specific folks dont like me simply because I refuse to follow that mentality and wont bash someones car just because it isnt what I like..... now most of my friends are streetrod/custom guys and I like their mentality much better as they still appreciate it when they see me hacking a hole in the hood of a 396 Chevelle or an old R/T mopar for tunnelram clearance........ |

C an't
A merica M ake A R eal O ne Putting Chevy motors in Pontiacs is for people too F'ing stupid to make a Pontiac run. These two usually shut them down. |

Reminds me of “expert” Bill Stevens statement/comment on a Mecum Auction broadcast: “…the never very popular Firebird…”
WTF!!!??? Did he REALLY just say that!!?? Yes he did – wow! |

He did it again!

His comments: “I’ve put my order in for my 2011 Pontiac…I’m still waiting to hear back from the dealer but when I call all I get is voice mail...” http://mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail...w=131&lottype= STFU Bill Stevens!!! Pontiac hater!!! Poor Chebby Boy, or is it from too much BLACK HAIR DYE? More likely that He and his Rats must have been beaten to a pulp by whole tribes of Pontiacs over the years for him to be such a Pontiac Hater! |

Would you go into a bar 500ft from Fenway wearing "pinstripes"?

The Bonneville i have has an Olds 403 in it.And a "disclaimer" on the window sticker about origin of the engine.I remember people going nuclear in dealership lots after they got home and found a Olds engine under the hood of their brand new T/A.

It's not everybody, or even a majority. I am a long time owner of a GTO, and a eight year owner of a SS Chevelle. My favorite divisions are (were) Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick and Chevrolet, in that order.
I have seen plenty of arrogance at GTO-AA meets, and at Chevellabration meets. |

Some of those annoying tweak announcers really need some constructive feedback on their "humor" in the form of a good solid kick in the ass.
But you know, with that being said, this is a topic that just really bugs me. All the constant Chevy bashing from the Pontiac guys. Talk about SDS... Get over yourselves. I'm the first guy to give somebody grief over putting a chevy motor in a Pontiac (well, maybe not first if Lenny C is walking around with me...), but as far as bashing the brand Chevrolet (you know- "Chevrolet" as in "Chevrolet, Mom, Baseball and Apple Pie"?)... well- you're just fine with selling out your country driving and hyping your POS Toyota to everyone within earshot, but in your "highly esteemed" opinion, Chevrolet just sucks? You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Chevrolet is called the Heartbeat of America for a reason. It's an American institution- just like Pontiac. I drive a Chevy every day- it's a 2002 Avalanche with 300K miles on it. That's right- all original drivetrain, never lets me down and never skips a beat. Trouble free for 300K miles. Looks nice, very comfortable, versatile, reliable, and I have no desire to replace it any time soon as my daily driver. Before the flames start, I just want to say one thing: For a bunch of Pontiac guys that hate Chevy so much, how come the one Pontiac car you covet most is a CHEVY ORANGE Judge? Never could figure that one out...

Same theme as this thread - Pontiac bashing @ shows by whom?
Quote:
I’ve owned several Chevrolets, and overall, they were good basic transportation. I can, and do, appreciate vehicles of any make and model. My pet peeve is someone who gets paid for their running “expert” commentary about a make of model and they spew out BS, ala: Bill Stevens on Pontiac’s. Rat motored Chevy’s are the only thing that seem to rate with him. Especially if its in a Vette…then the gushing begins and is hard to stop. So be it…but I’m going to call him on it. I can and do appreciate, Rat motored Chevys. I don’t appreciate his constant Pontiac bashing. Again, it seems more like an indicator that he’s had his a$$ handed to him many times by a superior running Pontiac on the track and on the streets. Perhaps it started while he was in a 409 Impala back in the day. Last edited by Alvin; 10-23-2011 at 08:58 PM. |

Bonneville owners probably were not as aware as T/A's would be more likely to be modifing the car later -

as ive said and agree,,its just a small percentage that spews hatred,negativity and overall just being a jerk
they seem to get some kind of value boost on their normally boring life and dont limit their asinine comments to one area but everything they do and wherever they go to. not just pontiacs,chevys,homes,hobbies and whatever else oddly they think their negativity is wanted and interesting but mostly only in their own mind its a waste of fresh air |
