Not a "best" story, but one that my buddy won't let me live down.
Back in the day (1959) I spent a lot of time cruising with my buddy in the neighboring small city, a college town, looking for 'action' (girls, races, whatever) in my somewhat ratty '37 Buick coupe with cammed '57 Tripower, close-ratio 3-speed and posi 3.70 rear. One night a carload of kids beside us at a redlight were hollering and gesturing, so naturally I proceeded to bang some gears when the light changed. After this was repeated at the next two lights, my buddy said "Hey, I think they're pointing at the back of the coupe". So we make a turn and stop to get out and look- turns out I'd been trying to act "cool" while one back tire was flat! I was running discarded M&H oval track slicks that had such stiff sidewalls that I didn't even notice any difference!

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.
