  2. Pontiac Bonneville/Catalina:
    • Comparison: Pontiac offered the Bonneville and the Catalina as its full-sized sedan offerings. The Bonneville typically targeted a more upscale market segment, featuring luxurious amenities, elegant styling, and a smooth ride. The Catalina, while still offering a comfortable and spacious interior, catered to a slightly more budget-conscious audience.

  4. Buick Electra/LeSabre:
    • Comparison: Buick's full-size sedan lineup included the Electra and the LeSabre. The Electra was positioned as the top-of-the-line model, offering luxurious amenities, refined styling, and a smooth, comfortable ride. The LeSabre, while still providing a comfortable and spacious interior, targeted a slightly more budget-friendly audience.
    • Contrast: The Electra typically came with more advanced features, higher-quality interior materials, and a smoother ride compared to the LeSabre. It might have also offered more powerful engine options and a greater emphasis on luxury and refinement.
Overall, while the full-sized sedans from General Motors in the 1970s shared similarities in terms of size and platform, they differentiated themselves through styling, features, amenities, and overall positioning in the market, catering to a diverse range of buyers with varying preferences and priorities.

The thing you really need to know is that the Pontiac Tempest had positraction and was available in metallic mint green paint.

And Joe Pesci couldn't defend Tim Lester's offense. Time to fire Tim Lester.

Yeah, we were a mayo family growing up, and I am not a big fan of Mircacle Whip (tolerable on some sandwiches, not really any other good uses in my mind). My wife came from a Miracle Whip family. My kids are 3/3 in thinking Mayo rules and Miracle Whip is gross.

I was serious about trying Duke's and not being that impressed. It wasn't bad, but it was $1 more expensive than Hellman's, and it tasted pretty similar to me. Perhaps my mayo palette just isn't sophisticated enough?

I honest to God totaled a Pacer going only 4MPH, and no collision.

Our Pacer (Mom's) would clog. New driver that I was, I realized to hit the gas like popping a clutch when the engine bogged down. Crossing a rough train intersection, after waiting for a train ten feet away we started to cross, the car bogged (or so I thought) so I punched it little. The car twisted sideways, bro's head broke the wind shield, I broke ribs on the wheel. Couldn't go forward so we back up.

Turned out, while bouncing (very badly) something from the steering column got stuck under a rail and it twisted the frame. We had to climb out the back 'cuz the doors wouldn't open.

Fifty years later old Fred finally said he believed us about the wreck of AMC Pacer. He said neither Mikey or I had changed one detail of the story and no one could keep a very specific lie that clear for that many years.

You could blow by a Pacer in a Model T Ford.

I believe it. My aunt, who used to and still lives in Humboldt, had a Gremlin. My cousin pulled up the floormats and carpet on the flooring to reveal actual holes in the chassis where rust had eaten through it. It was so thin. My aunt only drove it around Humboldt and wouldn't drive it on the highway, so she couldn't even take it to Fort Dodge.
