well that sucks.

My favourite manual transmission thwarting car thieves was from a POCI magazine (iirc) It was written by a gent who owned a three speed stick GTO, and apparently no one could figure out how to drive it!?
It probably helped that the older three speed cars did not have gear indications anywhere, as it was expected that everyone knew where the gears were on a three speed.

About Us

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.
