As a classic Pontiac guy, I think that this is hands down the best Pontiac forum on the web bar none. The knowledge base is staggering, and the helpfulness of the members unmatched. I fully intend to support PY with my future parts needs, as well. Thanks for a great forum.

And thank the rest of us for sending your kids through college. If it's not about the money then by all means ship us some free parts.

the Forum
As far as I'm concerned, this is the only Pontiac Forum.
As far as the hobby I think our biggest problem is the 'graying' of the enthusiasts. I don't see younger guys joining the hobby. How many guys under 30 know what a Super Duty Firebird is? Or a 67 GTO HO engine. I guess I'm just pessimistic. best regards to all the Forum

I really appreciate the LM GTO crowd being welcomed here by some as our cars were very limited production captive imports, rumors of Holden closing flying around, and parts availability making things scary for more modern components like Body Control Modules and air bags, not to mention interior exterior components! The parts being developed and produced by PY will help us keep our beloved cars on the road (just as they do for you classic model owners!) My grandfather owned a 1970 Catalina 400 many years ago. My father bought a 66 GTO back in the day. So that makes me not just a third generation Pontiac owner, but a second generation Goat herder with my 2005 GTO LS2! If any of you fellows have yet to experience an LM GTO ride and are near Houston feel free to let me know, and I'd be happy to meet up sometime! Great idea with the contest, PY folks! Hope it grows the community |

This is still the best all around Pontiac forums on the web and I belong to quite a few of them. Good information, good format. Sure sometimes there are a few that act like a**holes, but that's human nature I suppose.

The New Guy
Well I just want to post in here as one of those non-traditional enthusiasts Chris was talking about. After seeing the way he treated G8Board members (boo hiss) that were questioning the quality of Pypes products, I knew I wanted to support him and his company in any way I could. Now seeing how genuinely passionate he is about Pontiacs and keeping the hobby alive, I am glad I stumbled across that thread.
As I said, I am one of the outliers of the forum around here. I am a 27 year old LM Pontiac guy; I have had a 2008 Panther Black Metallic G8 GT for about a year now. I am again an anomaly around here in that I am also in the middle of a restoration on a 4 speed 1967 Camaro with a built up 383 SBC, going more along the pro-tour route but with an old school powerplant. Given the passion I see around here for Pontiacs, I think I will make this a regular haunt, and I hope to be able to toss some money to Pypes soon for some exhaust products for my G8 (sorry the Camaro is already plumbed!) Glad to be a part of this forum, and thankful to Chris for steering me this way! (Be gentle, I know I am a Chevy and LM guy, 2 strikes already!) |

Apologies if I was pulling us off topic, I actually thought it fit pretty well given the discussion about new, young(er) blood hanging around! If I am threadjacking let me know and I'll gladly clean up my mess!

Read my mind! I think we made it down to 30 at night and we were all complaining. And it had been in the 70s the Saturday before.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
