I saw one guy at a show with a really neat 71 GT-37. I tried to ask him some questions about it and if it was original. Here I am with a pontiac hat, a GTO shirt...a binder of pictures of my car with my phs docs in my hand, and he tells me to buzz off and play with my other Honda friends. Like I'm just some stupid kid who doesn't know anything but to tie my own shoes. Well you know what??? I'm out there literally having to figure it out myself on my gto because you guys think that only the old geezers should be allowed in! Well guess what, believe it or not that's not going to scare me off. Just because I wasn't around when these cars were at their heyday doesn't mean I love them any less. But it really is the other people in this hobby that take the fun out of it. I stopped going to gtoaa chapter meetings because of just the general attitude towards me being the youngest member there, like I didn['t belong or that I wasn't worthwhile. So you know what??? I enjoy my Pontiac by myself!!! Which is upsetting to me because I like meeting up with other like minded people. But I'm sick of the attitude I get when I try to talk to "Mr. Pontiac" about a 428 YH code engine, and he trieds to downplay whatever I say. So I stay away, son't go to car shows and whorde all my knowledge and Pontiac parts to myself. You guys are losing a real asset to the hobby if you make me feel that way.
Have you been getting lessons from Uncle Brucie?

There isn't only 1 GT-37, and who said it was where I lived. Try using some logical reasoning here
