Pontiac Tribute Day *June 1*
A lot of you as well as me have pontiacs, so I think this is kinda cool.
http://www.pontiactributeday.com/
In the wake of General Motors’ plans to discontinue the Pontiac marquee, which started in 1926 and which will end in 2010. A group of Pontiac Fiero enthusiasts based in Northern Illinois with members across the globe have organized a day to honor the brand that is best known for building excitement!
Tuesday, June 1, 2010 was chosen because May 31, 2010 is the last day the dealerships can sell and advertise a Pontiac as a Pontiac dealership. By midnight on the May 31, 2010 Pontiac Motor Division officially ceases to exist.
Jim Hallman, President of the Northern Illinois Fiero Enthusiasts says, “Drive your Pontiac to work, a car show, or to the golf course, it does not matter where, just enjoy it on this day”. He added, “We want Pontiac owners to relive the excitement that General Motors has supported since the inception of the Pontiac brand. This is our way of saying thanks to GM”.
We are encouraging everyone to help celebrate this event by organizing Cruise Nights or Car Shows on June 1, 2010 in honor of this event. Please email us your organized events and they will be added to this website. Please include Event Name, Location (city & state) and time of event. You can e-mail the information to pontiactributeday@yahoo.com
To help show your support you can purchase a graphic decal for any Pontiac model. Proudly display this 37" x 3" white decal in your rear window to commemorate the occasion.

HEY!!!!!!
although sadly i agree totally, haha. IMO buick has not made anything really exciting or interesting scince the GNX / GN / turbo T cars. not that they are making bad cars, but they are pretty much dressed up bonnivilles and impalas that cost $5-10k more.
the '77 T/A is special to me 'caus that was my mom's first car. black & gold, the smog equipment choked 6.6 ( still pretty quick concidering what else was around at that time) and a 4 speed stick, T tops and power windows & locks, and a black interior. she had it for about 2 years before she cought a patch of ice late at night and demolished the hardware store in their town... the only historic landmark in town, and also the only one made of feildstones..... needless to say no more T/A
