How annoying is it when....
I go to a few car hang outs, there is always the 1 or 2 guys that ask "Do you know what Pontiac stands for?" then the stupid laugh starts. I looked at this 60 ish year old guy the other day and asked back how old are you? I do not know why it gets on my nerves so much. Just does.
Rant over. |

I'm definitely not a politically correct person, but that deal is rude and improper!!!

Was with a Pontiac friend when someone asked him, he replied Excitement! And told the guy if he thought differently to just move on.

A response could be: "Are you calling me a ___________________ ?"

This actually brings back a fond memory when it comes up. A few years back me and my pal Bill Dewberry, we called hin Dew -he was a black guy, formerly from Texas, and a Pontiac fan were standing beside my Firebird chatting. A guy walks up and asked if we knew what Pontiac meant. Bill just smiled at him and said,yeah pathetic ols nobody thinks it's a Chevy. Th guy just looked at the ground and shuffled off. Dew and I were laughing our a$$es off at him.

I made, and sold a shirt to answer to that stupid BS "Do you know what Pontiac stands for?"
I've heard that stupid crap since before I had a drivers license. Front of shirt the emblem is on the left breast area:  Back of shirt:  We sold a bunch of these shirts at Pontiac shows and events in 4 years, 2008-2012. Mary Ann currently has a brand new 2X for sale with her Pontiac T shirts she is currently selling. Link to Pontiac T shirts for sale in "collectibles for sale" forum: http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...97#post5934297 I have probably 3-4 of this particular shirt that I wear everyday amongst the other 14 styles we sold, (my wife says I'm a walking Pontiac billboard). I've never had to answer that question in the last 8 years since I deigned that shirt...…...LOL

Try owning a Corvair (hard enough, huh?). Every single guy over 60 who approaches me acts like he's the first one to make a Ralph Nader joke.
 Yeah, good one dude.

I hate all of those stupid definitions, no matter the brand. They all ceased to be clever about the second time someone said them.

He wants to look like a know it all, so call his bluff and say “no, I don’t- what does is stand for?”
I answer most questions at car shows like that because their answers can be entertaining. For example: I often get guys pointing at my car ask saying “do you know who designed it?” I’ve been told John Delorean, Harley Earl, etc.

The saying is almost as old as Pontiac itself. If you own a Pontiac and something as stupid as a lame joke bothers you, perhaps its time to pick up your panties and move on. Sheesh!

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.
