Mike really summed it up quite well in his letter, exactly how I feel also but GM will never get the message. Their heads must be made outta 1" boiler plate............
 My parents drove Pontiacs since the late 30s and always did. I have only owned a 3 Jeeps (all 3 Jeeps eventually ended up with Pontiac engines under the hood) 2 ford trucks and a cavalier but I have also owned about 60 Pontiacs in my lifetime and 2 new ones. I made my living working on and modifying mostly Pontiacs for a good portion of my life. For my hobby I raced them for a good many years and now sell Pontiac only T Shirts. GM just doesn't have a clue of what they threw away and how many people will never get over what happened to Pontiac. UP YOURS GM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was shocked they printed it unedited. Actually I'm shocked it got printed but kudo's for HHP for printing it. When I sent it in I asked them to forward it to Brian Sweeny, whether it ever got there or not i don't know.

I never said I don't know how to write correctly, I just don't use that knowlege on you people! I can't type worth a **** either. Re the Snow Removal, I might as well do something when that crap's flying around, people don't want to go out to get their car's fixed until the road are clear anyway. It's not my favorite job description.

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.
