1999 Pontiac Grand Am V6 4-door SE sedan.  Excellent WINTER Car.  Always starts easy in any subzero temp. Newer International Biggest best Cold Cranking Amp battery.  Handles well in the snow, and has newer front strut assemblies and tires.  Just a little body damage on the exterior and the usual rusty spots of this era model make it bargain priced.  Regular maintenance done and oil changes done with full synthetic.  Heater, AC and blower fan all work good.  All electric window and door locks, power seat, mirrors, cruise control, gas gauge are all in perfect working order.  Only aggravation for me is the light on the clock radio tape deck has recently burnt out.  Coolant has been changed back to Prestone (the secret to avoiding the head-gasket leaks do to incompatibility with the corrosive Dexcool...thanks GM).  AND it runs cooler than it did with Dex.  Transmission is in better shape than most because it has had a tranny cooler since 2000.  Never used for much of any towing.  The hitch was utilized more for a bike rack a half dozen times.  Was a low mileage program car I bought from the dealership in ND in 1999.  Mileage is subject to change, as I still like driving it occasionally, still has lots of power and drives tight.   As far as oil consumption, the car does not burn or leak oil.  Gas mileage is as good as when I bought it, around 28 mpg on regular unleaded 87octane. Vehicle now has 173,350 miles on it.  I have a new replacement headlight to throw in.  Haven't installed it because it needs a front header assembly and a bumper cover.  Hood is functioning and the creased corner is bent back up into shape to accept the new parts installation.  Not a big  project.  Ironically, after this long winded ramble, I don't have the resource of time to do it myself, but  I would put a new aftermarket black primed bumper cover on and just put a 2 piece Bra on it, would cover all the damaged hood front. DIY fix.  Good Luck

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

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."
