    Lesson learned

    So today I decided to do a little maintenance before the heat set in. Got my brake pads on, shocks installed. Went for a quick spin to set the pads in. A few 30-40 mph hard slow downs. Then the engine started stumbling, then cut off. I was a couple miles from home, no phone, no wallet, no...

    5+ years as a daily update

    Sorry if this turns into a long rant, but you guys love this stuff.:LOL: So going on almost 6 years ago I bought my wagon.

    79 Pontiac(the pumpkin)

    New to the Gbody cars. I just picked this wagon up for my wife so she can have a fun toy to drive. She hates my other cars, says they are too big for her to drive lol. So far I'm impressed with this car. Lots of good power with the mild built 350sbc t350. It has a very hiway gear to the rear...

    NOoB from Va

    First time owner of a Gbody. A 79 Pontiac wagon followed me home. I guess I'll keep it. Got it for the wife so she can have a fun car to drive. So far she hasn't driven it as much as me because I'm having fun with it. I'll post pics in the wagon section. Glad to be here, hope I can add something...
