    427 or 454

    Trivia question

    Without Googling how many old fart gear heads actually know what GTO stands for

    And no it’s not gas tires and oil

    Seriously?? I'll give a hint. It's Italian. I never understood the last words meaning for it until a few years ago.

    Not that it ever was at the front of my mind but all this time I thought it stood for gas, tires and oil. I was told that by more then one person too over the years.

    I just looked it up. I bet people that owned them didn't know that. I would understand it better if it was an Italian made car.

    Not a car person but always like the look of the older models.

    That never bothered me because it wasn’t “white board material”

    it was simply Tomlin saying what he thought most people wanted to see. It wasn’t like the Pats had already won when he said it.

    We always struggled with the Jags and Pats and I don’t think his words mattered. I think we had like 7 turnovers vs the Jags in those 2 games and 3 of them were returned for TD’s. Just a bad matchup. That Jags team was much better than fans wanted to admit.

    Anyone I knew who owned them called them "Goats".

    I wonder how many people who complain about it know when that interview happened.

    I agree that the Jags just owned us that year. It was a bad matchup for us. Both times.

    My older brother had a '66 GTO and when I asked him what GTO stood for he said " Go To Orbit" and I grew up thinking that's what it meant.
