    Angry Damnit, Pontiac...

    Fuck you, Pontiac, and your insipid Euro-wannabe naming scheme which confuses everybody. You deserve to be where you are, the newest addition to Car Marque Hell, with all those other auto-industry flops that nobody wanted. Why? Because YET ANOTHER person called my car a G6. I love having my fantastic car (best GM makes, next to the CTS and Malibu) put on the same pedestal as another forgettable front-driven also-ran rental-lot-superstar piece of utter automotive shit. God damn that makes me rage worse than anything.

    Maybe I should re-badge the G8 so that you can clearly see the G8 emblem in huge letters from any angle.

    Sorry about that, guys, but I REALLY had to get that off my chest. Anyone up for establishing a non-profit campaign to increase the public's awareness of the major differences between a G6 and a G8?

    You got the right idea with the re-badge. No one EVER confuses my car with a G6. They are simply confused. "Perfect"!

    P.S. - If'n you wants to fuck Pontiac, better hurry. The line's getting quite long!

    I actually see the merits of a Holden conversion, now. They won't say, "is that a G6?" - they'll just say "what the hell is that?".

    Don't feel too bad, I was showing this really hot chic at my job my car, and first thing she says is...

    "Oh, isn't that a Grand Am?"

    Stupid Ho! She needs this really bad!

    Anyways, now I know why I prefer brunettes.

    I dropped my car off last week at Revord for the recalls and an oil change. I was waiting for a buddy to come pick me up and I was talking to a salesman on the lot. There was a white G8GT with cloth seats that was on the lot, BACK IN AUGUST, when I bought mine. So I ask the guy, "How many miles are on that G8 now?". He didn't know, but he said "we've got a really good deal on it, you interested? That was you who just pulled up in that black G6, right?"

    He doesn't even know the cars that he's supposed to be selling!

    I personally blame Bob Lutz for trying way too hard to make Pontiac a budget BMW fighter, even going so far as to imitate the Bavarians with pointless, unnecessary, and totally forgettable model nomenclature.
