"Are they made by Ponitiac???" Was a question I was asked by someone looking at my Z the other day. I guess some people just are not into cars... weirdos!!

Check the badges on the 2006s and you'll see that they're made by "GM"... outside of the crossed flags insignina in the logo there's hardly any evidence Chevrolet makes them.

I wouldn't say they are weirdos. Not everybody is a car person. Some people enjoy other things and frankly don't care about which car is which.

"Beautiful car, is that a Mustang?" was what the girl at the CVS drive-thru pharmacy asked.

It was dark, and she was looking down through the open top.

I jsut smiled 'No, it's a Corvette, thanks, I love it."
