Fix the cigarette lighter.  |  IP: Logged Adam Wilbert Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 590 From: Bellingham, WA, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 04-29-2005 02:39 PM                        Like they say on the other form that I visit, "pontiac owns"... I don't know what that means though. mine doesn't have 340hp, but it sure gets better milage!  |  IP: Logged Kyle McEachern Expert Film Handler Posts: 165 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 04-29-2005 04:13 PM                 Aww, what a cute "big boy" car...even comes with the AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION for those who aren't fully ready to take the step into real driving!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-29-2005 05:00 PM                     So Richard, did you select this car so the girls will flock to it and whoever is driving it? (A very common scenario.)  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-29-2005 05:38 PM                     Aww yeah, it's Bandit time! Lucky guy, looks in nice shape, much better than mine. How much did it cost ya? Mine was originally that color as well (its a 79 though) but the previous owner painted it black.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-29-2005 05:50 PM                        I always thought that Pontiacs were cars made in France. The name "Pontiac" just sounds so [forum policy prevents me from saying politically incorrect term]! Also, you have AUTOMATIC transmission. Real men drive manual transmissions.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 04-29-2005 05:53 PM                     Just for the record, that isn't a chick magnet car, not in that color at least. Its a guy's muscle car.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 04-29-2005 06:09 PM                       Ohh, the memories... I had a deep blue Trans-Am that I bought new from the factory in 1980 (back when projectionists still made good money). And, yes, it was a chick magnet. It irked me at how shallow some girls could be. I figured, if they couldn't give me a second look when I was toolin' around in my '74 Torino, then to hell with them after I got some money and a nice car. That, I reserved for the true blue only.  |  IP: Logged Jon Miller Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 973 From: San Diego, CA, USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 04-29-2005 07:17 PM                     Wow, it's been a while since I've seen one of those Pontiacs with the thunder chicken on the hood, slushbox transmission or no slushbox. Now where's the mullet?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-29-2005 08:52 PM                        My sister actually was magnetized by a guy with a TA looking just like Richard's. (Well except it was blue.) Unfortunately he turned out to be a crook (stole $15,000 from the place where he worked) and wound up losing the car AND my sister when he was busted.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-29-2005 10:44 PM                     Someone let Sherriff Bueford T.
