I've looked on ebay. Sadly, Quad4s are alot more expensive than my Milly's KLZE V6. One with over 100k miles on it will be a few hundred more than that V6 with only 60k miles on it. Strange.

Interior: Finally, the eternal flame!

T'is the time of the year to take pictures after doing a spring cleaning to your car. Decided to do an extensive detailing on my Milly since it's been nice this weekend. First, I went to my grandparent's to use their power washer to clean out the wheel wells and other places that don't get to see the light of day. I then demodded it, including removing: my black light (never used it anyways), the neon yellow string (just gets in the way), the LED washer nozzles (don't work anyways), and my license plate frame (damn thing corroded). Cleaned out all the junk, dirt, and garbage inside as well. Next, I conditioned the leather, armoralled the plastics, and cleaned the windows. After all that, I spray waxed it and put some tire shine on. This is the cleanest it's been since I bought it. Sort of sad. Exterior:

I *heart* my oversized lawn ornament. It kills grass!

Same paint finish pictures of myself, a la NOS. Mine are better since my 12 year old "deep sea mica" is shinier. Oh yes.

Thou shalt not anger BV. For he shall flip thy screen off, like this. What? I was bored and needed a new picture of myself.

Hmm... Oh the ideas that has caused to pop into my head...

Funny ad. I like it.

No... He's far from done. He's much worse than I ever was. That Lesabre will last about a month before he gets bored with it and buys another.

Congrats... About time.

Agreed. GM has more dealers than it needs in the first place. Within a 30 mile radius of Brookville, there are 7 dealers that sell Pontiac and 5 dealers that sell Buicks. This is rural PA. Isn't that a bit excessive?

True. Not a surprising one, either. Car and Driver had good things to say when it first came out. GM should have done more for the handling, though. Reaching .82 Gs is good, but not spectacular, especially when you consider a soft suspensioned Millenia can do the same.

I might as well get mine in. It looks like $h! and is lacking a view, but here it is.

Don't have the figures for the entire year, but Jan-Nov 2006 BMW sales are as follows. BMW cars: 192k total, 38k AWD 3-Series: 107k total, 24k AWD 5-Series: 49k total, 14k AWD 7-Series: 16k total, 0k AWD 6-Series: 8k total, 0k AWD Z4: 11k total, 0k AWD As far as Audi, other than the R8 and TT, all their vehicles are based on FWD platforms and only offers AWD on most of them.

Of BMW cars sold in 2006, only 20% were AWD.

No one is saying it has to have the prices that generally come with a niche brand. Obviously, Pontiac doesn't have the brand recognition for that. However, to say Pontiac would fail as a niche brand is just senseless. It's going to be a niche brand whether or not it has "mainstream" vehicles sold under it. What do you think BPG is? It's three niche brands being sold in a single sales channel. GMC will handle upscale trucks, Buick will handle luxury vehicles, and Pontiac will handle performance vehicles. Is FWD necessary to survive? Not at all. I will say that, in order for a predominately RWD lineup to succeed, it alteast needs AWD as an option. Regardless of one's personal bias towards drive wheels, RWD does sell. Look at BMW, Chrysler's LX cars, Ford's Mustang. Pontiac can offer a mainstream vehicle, but why FWD when GM has two other brands that will suit that need better? There is no reason RWD can't sell as a mainstream vehicle.

Technically, it's pretty much identical to mine... except for the wheels, obviously.

Quad4/Twin Cams. They just have this odd sound to them, I've found.

Sorry to hear that. Anyways, I'm still not sure, but I might try to come down tomorrow with the Sunfire. If anyone plans on being there, PM me, if I decide to come down, I'll give you my cell number.

Too damn many Ford Pintos. They've invaded Brookville.

Can you read? Sales numbers don't mean a damn thing. Profits do. The sooner your realize that, the sooner you'll stop making a fool out of yourself. Say it with me: Profits not sales. If sales dictated everything, there wouldn't be a such thing as a niche brand. There is and they survive. Not to mention that Pontiac will also have security of being sold along two other other niche brands in a single sales channel. If you think Pontiac will bold, you're a dumbass, and that goes for anyone.

Congrats. T'is a great car.

Yet another reason why the Legacy is a great car that's vastly underrated.

Too bad there isn't a domestic vehicle from the 90's that's actually cooler than it. Boxer engine, AWD, unique styling, advanced technology (for its time), luxurious interior, and decent performance etc. Heh... They all run and are in good shape. Not quite a junkyard

Hmm... I like everything but the front, which I find to be quite ugly. For one, those grills are too big. Two, those headlights are oddly shaped and placed. Three, the front overhang is too big and too square. Finally, the lower fascia doesn't help the upper fascia.
