I have owned this car for 10 years. It is updated to be a pleasure to drive intoday's traffic. Safety updates include seat belts for five, 4 wheel discbrakes, modern brake booster with dual reservoir master cylinder, and a newsteering gearbox with road feel and quicker ratio equal to a new car. Mechanicalupdates not available in 1965 include an overdrive transmission, electronic fuelinjection, new fuel plastic fuel lines and an in-tank pump enabling this car toperform like a much newer car, keeping pace in higher traffic speeds andachieving 20 mpg. Unlike 1965, this car starts and idles without touching thegas pedal in any weather, and isn't harmed by today's regular gas thatcontains alcohol. During my ownership the interior was completely redone, thecar comes with additional vinyl in both patterns. Every part in the factory AirConditioning and heating has been replaced except the evaporator and works verywell. I have not painted the car, the paint is over 10 years old, it still looksvery good. I received the car on a California title and a black lisc. plate andbelieve the car was only in California until I acquired it. The car has theoriginal floor pans and trunk floor. I am unaware of any rust or major bodyrepairs. I appears that the trunk floor was undercoated inside the trunk priorto my ownership. I have maintained it with trunk paint through the years. Hasthe original mat also. I use the car for local cruise nights, and out of townvacations traveling to Goodguys events, Hot Rod Power tours and other longdistance activities. I has been maintained with such use in mind and I neverhesitate to drive it long distances.

This Hoonigan mechanic's twin-turbo Trans Am is wonderful
Thu, Mar 24 2016What do you drive when you work on rally machines for a living? Probably a Subaru WRX, and that's what Gregg Hamilton had for a while until working on his car felt too much like his day job. So when he moved from New Zealand to the US to work for Ken Block (with a few stops along the way) he bought something entirely different. This is Gregg's 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. It's a throwback to another time, but it's anything but stock. It has that magic combination of a big V8 with a manual transmission and rear drive, just like the tin-top racers Gregg watched in his Kiwi youth. He bought it sight unseen from its previous owner in Alabama, and has been tinkering with it ever since. There's something about the flared wheel arches and the classic Firebird gold-striped black livery that has us smitten. Scope out the six-minute clip above from Petrolicious and see if you don't fall for Gregg's Pontiac as well.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
