My 75 year old dad just bought a new car, and called me all excited like a teenager asking about the best wax for it....
Got me thinking why I still love my Pontiacs. 1. The Pontiac engine thru exhaust sound 2. The torque of the factory installed engine 3. The Pontiac styling Those things still get me going today.

The style for sure (67 GTO), the exhaust note, the torque, my original HURST wheels, my factory Red Inner Fender Liners, the factory hood tach..oh wait a minute, I am over the three limit. There are dozens of things that I absolutely love about my car and that is why I have owned it for so long (over 33 years now).

After losing our 68 Firebird back in Dec. I wasn't sure if I'd ever love another Pontiac the same way. Well, we had our accident Dec. 12th 2009, right around that EXACT same time, the original of our 67 LeMans passed away at the age of 83. We were told that his love for the car was unquestionable. In Jan 2010 the family put the LeMans on Ebay. This is how we found and bought our new old Pontiac.
Between ins. repair money and the money from parting out our ole Bird, we had more than enough to make the purchase of this flawless LeMans. So here are my top three things I love about our car: 1) We are "HONORED" to own her 2) It's nicer than anything we ever hoped to own 3) It's a Pontiac!!!

It's ready when I am.
It goes where I want to go. And when I've had a really bad day, it doesn't ask me to explain. After reading all of these, I've realized it really is a guy thing - most women don't get it, even if they say they do.

It is something about the car that gets us. The feeling just doesn't go away, and it is fun!

Ok, I may have a female exception here. Just yesterday, while driving the LeMans my wife says to me and I quote verbatum "driving this car is borderline orgasmic".
