Unless that is the new way to spell Pontiac ...

This....
"very close to GT in terms of meaning. Grand Turismo Omolgato in Italian (Grand Touring Homologated in English) refers to road-racing vehicles. In this case, the additional “O” is added to denote that the cars produced are not one-offs with limited production and public sales. It also means that these vehicles have certificates for certain types of races."

"These three letters are closely associated with the 1960s Pontiac GTO muscle car, but the origins are Italian and can be traced back to Enzo Ferrari and the classic Ferrari 250 GTO. The company only made 36 Ferrari 250 GTOs from 1962 to 1964 but enjoyed enormous success, with GT-class wins in the 24 Hours of Le Mans serving as proof. Today these vehicles are sought-after collector cars, with prices reaching as high as $70,000,000."

Annie's update

It is literally raining rescue birds. This one makes bird #3 currently in house. Today this doofus fell out of his nest. I can't really blame him as it was his parents who built the shoddy thing. So I mixed up some baby bird formula and I'm feeding him and treating the couple small flesh wounds...

There you go from 11/3 and nothing much has changed. They are all sharing turkey and veggies with me today LOL

Pretty sure that's why they are called 3000GT stateside. That's the Japanese model actually from Japan.

Those rims are Rays F zeros Gorgeous.

She's a beauty!!! Do you have a Mitsu specific mechanic to work on her? I'm not 100% sure on the JDM models, but the us versions had the Getrag trannies and they are considered unserviceable if something goes wrong. We found a company way back when that started making some parts for them, but it was tough to source parts and they were a motherfucker to work on. And we weren't allowed to touch it at the dealer. We had to take it to the tech's house and do the work on the side. Fun cars though, just heavy.

This is my Sunday drive car, 1971 Pontiac Lemans. 500 horsepower and 575 lb ft of torque means buying a lot of rear tires lol.

Yeah, I remember you posting that a while ago. Sweet ride bud :blsmoke:

Growing up my dad had a lot of fun rides. Dad's 2wd '70 gmc short bed is what I still have now.......it was my dad's, now it's mine (dad) and it'll be my kids too if they want it.

My wife loves the old GMC stuff. We had a GMC Jimmy for a few years and she really likes the short bed truck look when they're lifted a little. My kids have shown zero interest in old cars so mine will be sold once I can't drive it anymore.

I saw someone crunch a road sign with an old 30's woody like this last week.
It bent the bumper right into the radiator and grill, tires pointing differently. He completely lost it and went over the median curb.
Didn't know how it handled around a corner, drove it like a rental.

Good morning, happy Friday.

I'm sick and it's the weekend two covid tests were negative so it's not the rona.

If it's not covid then you might want to try black elderberry syrup and vitamin c + zinc. Sorry to hear your sick get well soon!

Elderberry should at lest help if it the flu I've used it for the flu before and had pretty good results.

I am my own, from Porsche, BMW, and Jeep I learn. The hard stuff and 4 wheel dyno I do have a place. The Getrag 6 sp is serviceable at a high cost.
