My loss = your gain

This 1995 Pontiac Firebird Convertible was my pride and joy for the past three years. It was not running when I bought it, and I spent many hours and many thousands of dollars fixing it slowly while I had a job.

The following work has been done on the car since I purchase it:

· Air conditioning leaks and compressor fixed – car has A/C!
· Convertible top and motor replaced – top goes down with the push of a button.
· Rear plastic window changed for actual glass window with defrost
· Driver and Passenger side window motors replaced
· Headlamps and headlamp motors replaced – lights go up and down. Due to body work needed, the right light gets stuck in a closed position and you need to turn the lights off and on to get it up.
· All motor fluids flushed and filled
· New brakes and rotors
· New front tie rods on driver and passenger side
· Custom rims and tires
· Valve cover gasket and motor/transmission gaskets replaced
· Exhaust system replaced (catalytic converter and muffler)
· Detachable face CD/MP3 player with iPhone USB input and remote control
· New speakers
· New battery (purchased 7/2014)
· Cold Air Intake
· Performance Chip
· Front windshield replaced

The following are remaining issues:

· Front bumper needs to be replaced
· Rear bumper needs patching
· Driver side door needs aligning (new hinges)
· New coat of paint
· Dents in hood need to be pulled
· Front windshield needs resealing on driver side
· ABS module needs to be replaced
· Trip odometer (the smaller three digit one) needs to be fixed
· Wiper arms (if you want, I cut and welded the arms to accept all wiper blades instead of the specially made Pontiac Firebird ones)
· 12V outlet needs to be looked at (installed a new one, but did not work) since the radio had a USB port, I charged my phone from that.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
