Well looks like all of us Maryland and Ex-Marylanders are the only ones getting up early the day after the Birthday of the country. Just wondering how we all will feel next year this same time.Wonder if we will still have the good ole' USA as we know it or will it be some kind of socialized ,extremely big goverment country.Anyway,I'm glad everyone is safe and made it thru the 4th. ***NOTE*** As everyone knows Pontiac is going forever.One of my dealerships I work at,was telling me Friday that they are expecting their very last shipment of Pontiacs from the factory.Their expecting 3 of the G-8's and 4 Vibes(Toyota).That will close out Pontiac for them for recieving shipments directly from the factory.All other new car Pontiacs will either be bought from closing dealerships or bought as trade offs between the dealerships.Its a sad day in America when a Proud name plate like Pontiac has disapeared. On the other hand I read in Hemmings that GM will be importing the Pontiac G-8 from Australia rebadged as a Chevrolet.They are importing about 40,000 cars for Police,Goverment,FBI, and CIA cars.These will be the V/8 versions of the cars.Maybe GM will make these very neat cars avialiable to the public as a Caprice.Robert,didn't mean to Hi-Jack your thread.Bob,congradulations on the 9 second run.Dick I got your message,was really tied up yesterday will call back today or tomorrow. GOD BLESS THE USA !!!!! John
