Wink Things Pontiac Guys need to Get Over.

There are wrongs out there in the world that have been committed against Pontiac, and us- the Pontiac faithful. The biggest, of course, was GM killing off Pontiac... and before that the Pontiac V8. But, there are smaller wrongs... things that, though they may annoying, Pontiac guys just need to let go!

These two immediately come to mind, but I know there are others. Feel free to add to the list.... Or tell me I'm stupid and these things deserve to be hung onto, to complain about all the time.

Big Bock Pontiac. Yes, I know it's wrong. You know it's wrong. I don't need to hear you rant about it every time some doofus says it in the Craigslist ad for a rusty hunk of crap that's been sinking into his front yard for the past 20 years.

Air Cleaner Displacement Stickers, aka "Buick Stickers". Again, I know they are not "correct". Why does it matter so much to some guys if a car owner put a sticker on his air cleaner lid? Sure, if you're judging at a concourse show, mark off a point for non original equipment, otherwise who cares? "Gee, that '69 Judge on Ebay looks real nice- too bad I won't buy it because it has a sticker on the air cleaner lid". I see people bitching about this so much on here that I want to start putting them on my cars just to piss people off!
