@@ChatGPT1111 In the late 1960's, my oldest brother owned a Rambler station wagon for a period of time. If my memory serves me, it was a dark green color.
Our family still has our 1983 2.8 firebird ,unfortunately it's been sitting in the same spot for 9yrs. The Bird still runs but needs just a whole bunch of smaller stuff done , shame really. It was my dad's he bought it brand new in 83. But has since passed , keep it for memories. Long Live the Mighty Pontiac Bird ❤
GM just got busted selling your information from onstar to private companies that report the information to insurance companies. This is even without the subscription. The info collected is any video, audio, hard breaking, hard turning, fast acceleration, and more. There is also a system in most vehicles that automatically records that data to the vehicle. I'm uninstalling mine. But finding it was a pain, because it wasn't listed in the manual. Scotty should do a video on how to locate and uninstall them.
GM needs a change in the C-Suite. No one wants a 100K truck, Electric or Gas. America needs affordable automobiles and trucks. The profit margin for the overpriced trucks drives the bean counters. Engineering and design don't matter to them.
Growing up in the 80s, Cameros, Firebirds, Trans Ams, and Mustangs ruled on the streets, great memories 😀 no accidents, much less cars on the road 😉. Miss my 1983 Camero 😢.
@@jupitercyclops6521 My first car was a black '82 Pontiac T/A 5.7L 4 spd standard fully loaded, w/T tops & the wide mags front and rear, body mouldings, chromed out engine. Looked aggressive standing still & great when wet.
My wife’s 86 TA gets a check engine light periodically. After 38 years I decided to change the oxygen sensor which the OBD1 said is what it wanted. It ran so rough and kept dying out I put the old one back in. I have rebuilt the carb about 3 tines and I’m too lazy these days to adjust it. Runs like a tiger even though it’s the whimpy 305.
GM completely ended its Pontiac division in 2010 and focused their efforts on better selling models like the Camaro and Corvette, but they are still trounced in sales by the Ford Mustang.
Camaro outsold Mustang for some years there. But yeah, they never addressed the Camaro's visibility issues so it's just not as practical, so not as many people are willing to deal with it for a daily. It's mainly why I don't have a 6th gen Camaro.
If you want me to agree that CEOs get paid way more than they’re worth, then yes they are. If you want me to somehow ignore that men are bad at management, it ain’t gonna happen.
And from the passenger seat, he reports how much fun it is to drive one of these...5.7 Litre was a nice motor and the Trans Am was a great looking vehicle.
True. My 2012 Mustang is $322/year, thru Hagerty. It's very low because it's classified as a project car and can only be driven 5,000 miles a year or less.
I drive a 24 year old Saturn and a 19 year old Dodge Caravan. Do my own maint/repairs. Both are running great. Insurance total for both is about $430 per year.
This brought back memories, I used to own a red Trans Am just like this one. Loved that thing. The biggest issue with these cars is they are made of fiberglass and almost impossible to repair. My door window regulator damaged the fiberglass door and the window would no longer work or seat correctly. NO ONE wanted to touch it. I had to use JB Weld to put the regulator where it needed to be but if it ever needed to be replaced then it would basically need an entire new door.
I live in WI and these kinds of cars (rear wheel drive) get stored in the winter a lot, handle so poorly in snow. A stored winter car from the rust belt area of the us are the best cars to get, often will have low miles and paint and interior are useally in good shape from being garaged 5-6 months a year.
I almost bought a 1996 Pontiac firebird transam Gt T-top but after looking into insurance I decided on My 1996 Pontiac Grand AM GT 5 speed stick and she is 28 years old now and I still have her and just love driving her, I say she likes going fast and looks good doing it. She has over 262k miles on her. Ordered her from the factory.
This car was made in Canada, built just north of Montreal along with the Chevy Camaro. Unfortunately, when GM retired the Firebird/Trans Am and Camaro in 2002, the assembly plant closed down and was demolished in 2004; a shopping centre was later built where the plant once stood. Thousands of people from the area worked at GM Boisbriand, Quebec from 1965 to 2002. Now most of Canada's automobile industry is located in Ontario (GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Stellantis).
Yeah, I'm no big environmentalist but same here. Especially since I'd want to show it to my sister's kids and they don't need to be breathing that NOx. Plus it would stink. And moreover, it's something broken on an otherwise cream puff of an extinct car - it ideally should have nothing broken on it if practical.
Since they haven't done any diag on it, they don't even know that it needs a cat. It could be a failing cat monitor. Could be a wiring issue to the cat monitor. Could be a small exhaust leak near the cat monitor that needs to be patched. All assuming that there isn't an issue with the PCM.
I'm a lifelong Pontiac fan from the time I rode in dad's '66 Bonneville. Pontiac Motor Division ceased to exist in 1984 when it was folded into the Chevrolet-Pontiac-Canada Group (CPC), which was nothing less than the complete takeover of Pontiac by Chevrolet. (In contrast Buick, Olds, and Cadillac each seemed to have better parity in BOC.) The Fiero was the last car brought to market by PMD. After that it was just an empty brand name, and it showed in the products. I especially don't care about later GM Corporate products with plastic Pontiac badges slapped on. Killing off the name was long overdue, and good riddance.
One of my favorite cars from my childhood, the Pontiac Trans Am. I remember that I neighbour use to own one and I could spot it from outside his garage. Regards!
I love the grounded reality of this channel!!! Retirement took a toll on my finances, but with my involvement in the digital market, $47,000 weekly returns has been life changing. AWESOME GOD❤️
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Maria Angelina Alexander) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her from Brisbane Australia.
I had a 00 ss Camaro which is the same car the trans am was a little heavier but if I kept my foot out of it I could get about 30 mpg on the interstate it done good on gas as long as you keep your foot out of it lol

My 2006 GTO with an LS2(400hp/400tq) and 120k miles STILL gets between 16 and 18 mpg...even driving like an unhinged 16 year old, one of the better muscle cars from the mid 00's...lol
Their is one thing I will say about GM. After they went from building cobalts to Cruze build quality went down dramatically. I own a cobalt and have driven cruzes. My cobalt refuses to die and has a lot more power than the Cruze. I will NEVER buy a new GM product I’ve heard the new Silverados are blowing their engines shortly after leaving the factory due to lifter issues. My next new car will be a Toyota or a Honda. I wouldn’t mind buying older used Chevys. But if I was buying a brand new car, Toyota and Honda all day!
I had a 79 Silver Anniversary edition and a 78 Smokey bandit edition Trans Am back in the day. Wish I had one of them yet, They just drank to much gas with those big V-8's.
My first car was a 98 formula off the showroom floor. Only new car I’ve ever owned. Only took me 5 months to lose my license lol. First year for the ls1 in the model. Arctic white. Loved that car.
You would like my car Scotty, an all black Nissan 370Z 6MT sport pkg that generates about 390 peak horsepower at the crank, driving a 3200 lb car. Oh, and there are still no rattles after 5 years of ownership.
Who does his insurance? FFS, I have a 2002 Xtreme and a 2016 Elantra GT and my bill is over $170 a month at 44 years old and not a ticket since my TWENTIES!!!
I always loved that brand of TransAm.... I called it the poor mans Corvette but had a more classic.look...it would make a great KitCar too.. If you found one with a good body and shot engine...put another engine in it and Whoa Nelly!! 🐦
@@peterdean9012 I already tried the serial# has to match or last # has to be an 8 or 9 with mine being 7 to work. They also said it would be over 1k. I'm getting it remanufactured.
$360 a year not sure what kinda insurance that is no way it's full coverage for $30/month even liability is way more expensive than that he must have several cars to get a discount for driven low miles.
I had a v6 firebird 1994. Loved it but honestly, it was a lemon. It was bad. The catalytic converter clogged and i didn't know about it at first and ruined my engine. So yeah. He's right about them not making them that well back then.
My parents bought a brand new 1985 Firebird, took it on a road trip and the cat failed on the drive home, car had less than 2,000 miles on it. They had a shop just remove it so they could drive home. Other than that it was my favorite car when I was a kid. That was the only problem they had, far as I remember.
they are pretty reliable like he said if you dont abuse it and maintain it well except that dreadful o2 sensor that plagued gm cars from the 90s to mid 2010
Insurance hasn't gone down on my 2012 stock base Tacoma. It actually goes up at least $50 every six months. Not a wreck or ticket; just the Florida way I guess.

Knight rider kitt was the best trans am even though the 305 v8 4bbl only made 180hp
I have a 2000 TA full coverage is $230/year.
Scotty has a big scoop next week. GM is shutting down Oldsmobile! It's a big secret.
360 a year.. not a daily driver then.. I pay that on my 89 mustang thru Hagerty.. with lots of limitation ....
The LS engines last forever, just need oil changes..Plus no direct injection like the LT1…
Nice car, and I'm not a big G.M. fan. But all these American "muscle" cars had character, be they G.M., Ford, Mopar, or even AMC.
Hasn't Pontiac had issues with cats overheating, and catching the car on fire ? Had a friend of mine back then, that it happened too on his Cutlass.
Imagine if Pontiac’s quality was on par with Honda. We’d have some amazing cars.
Ya The Vibe awesome car
My first car was a 98 formula off the showroom floor. Only new car I’ve ever owned. Only took me 5 months to lose my license lol. First year for the ls1 in the model. Arctic white. Loved that car.
5 months is a record. Usually it lasts about a week or two with those cars. Lol.
So what brand did they announce?
Pontiac! Shocking news!
I wonder how long until GM goes up for sale?
You would like my car Scotty, an all black Nissan 370Z 6MT sport pkg that generates about 390 peak horsepower at the crank, driving a 3200 lb car. Oh, and there are still no rattles after 5 years of ownership.
Who does his insurance? FFS, I have a 2002 Xtreme and a 2016 Elantra GT and my bill is over $170 a month at 44 years old and not a ticket since my TWENTIES!!!
These muscle cars were a lot of fun. But like the saying goes, "All good things ... "

@@aussie2uGA How about blips?
They axed the trans am and put out the GTO.
I always loved that brand of TransAm....
I called it the poor mans Corvette but had a more classic.look...it would make a great KitCar too..
If you found one with a good body and shot engine...put another engine in it and Whoa Nelly!!

@ 2:50 I beg to differ bet you can't find the Engine Control Module for this car at GM cause they don't even have it for the Pontiac Vibe.
Get an ecm from Toyota
@@peterdean9012 I already tried the serial# has to match or last # has to be an 8 or 9 with mine being 7 to work. They also said it would be over 1k. I'm getting it remanufactured.
$360 per year for insurance, wow.
I just wish we still had Saturn to take on Tesla. And Pontiac.
:They dont make them like they used to" does NOT apply to post 1989 !!
Schrodinger's box - Scotty Kilmer conspiracy :D
Pontiac is Chrysler, but Chrysler is getting sold to BYD
He promised he was quitting. Wth?
Live in Florida and tell me insurance is cheap.
Get a Dash cover to protect it from UV damage
9:49 "Runs Like a Scalded Ape" - Love ya Scotty
The best car is the one with manual transmission and driven normally.
I always have to laugh quietly on the inside when Scotty goes for a test drive but sits in the passenger seat.
Scanner ?
The yooo tooob hiding the skip advertising button with the screen cutoff 😞
$360 a year not sure what kinda insurance that is no way it's full coverage for $30/month even liability is way more expensive than that he must have several cars to get a discount for driven low miles.
What was the reason that Pontiac failed? In a word; Aztec
A new V6 Camry could smoke that old Firebird.
No it could not. And the Camry tops out at 130. Bring your Camry and a bag of cash to get embarrassed.
It's got the old man turn signals😁, Scotty's hearing is better the mine!
They were called a poor man's corvette, almost as fast and half the price ... awesome performance cars that average people could afford.
This is a shock to the entire car industry Pontiac really
I had a v6 firebird 1994. Loved it but honestly, it was a lemon. It was bad. The catalytic converter clogged and i didn't know about it at first and ruined my engine. So yeah. He's right about them not making them that well back then.
My 83 firebird with the 305 v8 ran great!
My parents bought a brand new 1985 Firebird, took it on a road trip and the cat failed on the drive home, car had less than 2,000 miles on it. They had a shop just remove it so they could drive home. Other than that it was my favorite car when I was a kid. That was the only problem they had, far as I remember.
8:00 hope I have a sense of humor like this when I grow up
GM is one of those companies that competes with itself--or did at one time. Nowadays, not so much.
Thanks again for checking out my son Clayton‘s car today. I really appreciate it
they are pretty reliable like he said if you dont abuse it and maintain it well
except that dreadful o2 sensor that plagued gm cars from the 90s to mid 2010
Insurance hasn't gone down on my 2012 stock base Tacoma. It actually goes up at least $50 every six months. Not a wreck or ticket; just the Florida way I guess.
For 360 or so a year, he has this insured as an antique.
Pontiac has been gone 10-15 years ago.
I’ve heard Oldsmobile has closed as well 🤣
Are they still making Rocket 88?
Did you hear the dodgers moved to L A
Stock is always the best
Mary is great at making cars in Mexico.
Scotty takes so long to get his point across that he probably started this video in 2010 when GM did shutdown Pontiac.
Classic Plates
Yes: 15 years ago. What century are you in?
