I shouldn’t have given the impression that today totally sucked — there was one pretty cool thing that happened.
I was on my way home from the town center’s new restaurant, where I picked up a grilled grouper sandwich and a cup of chili for lunch. I took the GTO to get it, just because [...]

I received an interesting letter from GM corporate last week. Apparently Pontiac would like to inform owners of 2005-06 GTOs with manual transmissions that, if driven aggressively, the LS2 engine in their vehicles will consume a small amount of oil. Over time, if the oil level is not maintained, the mill might be [...]

I drove up to the community “mail center” tonight to drop a Netflix DVD in the mail. There were some teens riding scooters around the parking lot, and as I was getting out of the GTO (I was the only car in the lot) several of them called out “Nice car!”
I thanked them and figured [...]

Who am I? In the last few days, you might have gotten a different answer from me depending on when you’d asked. Between Apple and I, it feels like we’ve accomplished more in the last 48 hours than either of us usually gets done in a week. I haven’t posted anything here [...]

Eons ago, I had a poll on here asking people what message they thought I should put on the personalized license plate I was going to order for my new GTO. I’d had a plate on my Trans Am that read BJ’S WS6 for many years but wanted something a little “smarter” this time [...]

I thought I had finally found Florida’s own Red Holman Pontiac. That is, a Pontiac dealer that I could actually trust not to screw me when I needed a new car. That dealer was McNamara Pontiac in Orlando. Unfortunately, I learned today that the 60-year-old, family-owned McNamara dealership just sold out to [...]

Attempting to honor my “I’ve gotta get out more” remarks of a few weeks ago, today I got together with Mike, a fellow 2006 GTO owner and member of the LS1GTO message boards who came across me quite by accident. He was looking at the pictures of my cars that I’ve got online when [...]

Good thing I didn’t wait longer to pick up my new car — starting with GTOs produced in February, Holden deleted the hidden accessory connector that allows you to add the cool sports gauge pod to the top of the dash. Apparently they ran out of the necessary parts, and simply let it drop [...]

I thought the Holden plant in Australia was going to keep building the GTO through August, as they did last year, but apparently I was wrong. The Australian media reported that on June 7th, the last Pontiac GTO — clad in Spice Red metallic — rolled off the assembly line at 9:37 pm. [...]

Apple and I conducted a fun picture-taking session this evening after dinner, and the result is a new gallery of GTO photos highlighting the new window tint I just had installed. It was a beautiful evening for capturing some images, and most of them came out really nicely. We shot some in-car video [...]
