But still Pontaic says it's a NASA hood, you don't have just scoops on your car so the hood termed NASA is the correct way & you should just get over it & say what Pontiac says it is & stop trying to be so difficult. Your beating your head on a wall & the only thing your going to get is a headach & a cut on your head. Just take your ball & go play in some one elses field or agree that we are correct & your wrong.
Hey, Rick.....wind them up and watch them go.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

If you hadn't put the quote in your post, I wouldn't had seen what was written. Some of the less than stellar members of the board are on my ignore list. I'm not about to go anywhere anytime soon.

Hey, Rick...are you coming south this weekend for the PY open house? I'll be arriving Saturday morning with the Can't Am. Would like to see you again, it's only been how many years since we last saw each other at Carlisle?

I would love to, but I am picking up another car that day, and will be traveling in a week to GM Carlisle.

Hey Brian,

Just curious; What's a Can't Am?!?
Sounds funny as .... but I don't know what it's reffering to.
Can't be your awesome Can Am, so it must be something else.....
Maybe mine is a Can't Cam....
It's Olds 403 powered..... (yet I still like it!)

BTW Rick,
What have you bought this time around!?!

Erik

403 Olds powered would make it a "Hell no it Can't Am".

I just call mine that sometimes. I know it's no speed demon, but it has ample power to get away from any 19 year old douche in a Honda with a 5" coffee can fart pipe, and it rides nice on the highway at 70-MPH. It turns heads, especially Black folks...for some reason Black folks really love dis car.

Brian what is this Can't Am you're talking about. Pontiac only had a "Can Am" and every piece of factory literature I have proves thats what they called it. Jim Wangers too in his book. Do you have a Canadian one or is this some rare version? Does it have a shaker or scooped hood?

Mine always seems to attract pretty young women. Not too many black folk in my area.

Are you sh*tting me?

To quote Foghorn Leghorn..."IT'S A JOKE SON, YA GET IT, I SAY, I SAY, A JOKE SON!"

By the way, I had Wangers and Beswick autograph the car several years ago.

Yes. Yes, I am. And I know a Can Am doesn't have a NADA scooped hood.
