Poniac is a Dead Duck Orphan.
I have ownws Three Pontiacs i nmy liftetime .My first one was a 1941 (I
aquired it in 1948) Business Coupe(NO back Seat). I put a Junk Yard back
seat in it and it was a very nice car. My next one was a 1947
Convertable(aquired in 1952). It had a worn out engine and I it with a
Wrecking yard engine in my Brother-in-Laws front yard in Navy housing
just off of Midway Drive in San Diego.
My last Pontiac was a 1963 La Mans Convertable that I fell in love with
in 1968.

I think one is STUPID for buying a NEW car although I did that twiice.
Once i n1956 when I bought a New 1956 Buick and again in 1960 when I
bought a Ford Falcon. I decided that I was going to let soem OTHER Fopol
take the Drive of the Showroon LOSS and I woudkl but used form then on.
And I have never done so.
In fact despite your contention was good enough a home automobile
machanic to save even more money on Cars by reviewing the WORST used Car
Buy Lists in Magazines and selecting one as my next car.
MY greatest savings was on the Two Audi 5000 cars I owned after the
Fake report on 60 minutes of them being possesed and would accelerate
even with your Foot pressing the Brake pedal.
