Wow...cool pics, BV. I guess GM did a number on the Grand Am name, too ... heh. Odd that I hadn't realized (it seems) that the Grand Am was, in the "early days" anyway through the 1980s, Pontiac's version of the Chevrolet Malibu...at least, I see some resemblance in the pic of that silver late 70s/early 80s GA. Heh...interesting .

Sorry...shoulda made that clear.... Jaycees are a local and national organization (for young adults) that, among other things, develop and support leadership skills, while helping the communities....

I thought of that, too ... but, still, if you look through the FWD monte carlo boards/clubs, you might see a different story..... Heh. And I could never have imagined a FWD monte carlo. But, Chevrolet keeps claiming they made 'em. *sighs* I get the feeling that Chevrolet has the idea/notion that all they have to do is make a RWD car ... no matter what its name is ... and they will win back all of their enthusiasts. Wrong. As much as I like the Camaro, a new RWD Camaro will not turn my eyes off the current Dodge Charger. *shrugs* But, I know...that's just me .

*raises eyebrow* Cults?

Hmmm...while I agree with you for the most part, the FWD monte carlos _are_ showing up at car shows ... some of them heavily modified at that. Take a gander at some of the cars on a couple of the newer generation mc websites ... and you might see that they are loved by their owners, perhaps just as much as the owners of the RWD Monte Carlos..... *shrugs*

He he he...guess the "prayer" my Dad received from one of his brother's near Pittsburgh worked: "Our Father, who art in Pittsburgh football be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, 4 Super Bowls won, on earth as it is in Heinz Field. Give us this day a playoff victory, and forgive us our penalties, as we defeat those who play against us. And lead us to a victory, and deliver us to Detroit. Amen"

Wow, ocn...sounds like that was tough, yet exciting/interesting all at the same time....

BTW, Sixty8...you sure you don't want a prize for the "Knight's Challenge" ... even one with a pic of my car in it?

*chuckles* But, wouldn't it be ironic if this pole WAS used by GM/Chevrolet to determine if a Camaro is built, and if so, whether it is FWD or RWD? But, Chevrolet/GM wouldn't build a RWD Camaro because they would never do that to an old nameplate, right? They've already done it 3 times ... monte carlo, malibu and impala. *shrugs* I'm not in the "target market", so I probably won't vote. Besides, since the target is the "young kids", I'm bettin' the results will show an overwhelming desire for FWD ... since that is about all the younger kids have known/grown up with.... *sighs* Cort, "Mr MC" / "Mr Road Trip", 32swm/pig valve/pacemaker MC:family.IL.guide.future = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/ What's it like to buy your favorite car brand new?
