This is a great subject and I question these people being non-car people or jealious/stupid? My 62 LeMans was more often called a Comet or Falcon than a Pontiac and or LeMans? I have found the best response is not responding at all. How can you stabd next to a car with the emblems right in front of your face and call it something else? I can't say anything other than stupid!!!

If someone gives enough of a crap to talk to me about my car, I'm actually OK with whatever they say as long as it's not insulting or some know-it-all douche. At least they tried, right?
When I hear "nice Camaro!" I don't even bother to correct half the time. The "nice..." was the important part. I think it best to not be smug or elitist about the whole thing. After all, we're not driving hybrids, right? But with that said, my license plate is NOTCMRO.

fish outa water?
Got my 67 Lemans out last month to go to town to top off with fresh gas at SHELL station. Young woman store clerk and another young woman were quite impressed with my car. I was feeling pretty good until one asked: "Is that a BARRACUDA?" (I graciously explained.)
On the other hand, it seems that many people at car shows readily know that my car is not a GTO but I still get many good compliments. |

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.
