What is up with Tomlin?

You forgot Biden.

 

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

 

Biden forgot Biden

JK not getting political

 

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.

 

I actually thought everyone knew it.

 

I owned one

Both versions are correct

 

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.

 

Well obviously I know I asked the question

But 50 +/- years ago before internet I bet I was one of very few

 

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.

 

The name, GTO was inspired by the Ferrari 250 GTO. The moniker is an Italianabbreviation for Gran Turismo Omologato ("grand tourer homologated"), designating being certified by the FIA for racing in the grand tourer class as a production car with at least a hundred units made.[1]

Unusually for such a Detroit marketing ploy, a Pontiac employee had the car homologated by the FIA in 1964, so that it was indeed possible for the GTO to compete in European sports car racing.

I had a 66 with an extensively modified engine exhaust driveline etc.

Fastest thing around at the time. I got cited for tripling the speed limit one night.

It was not this pretty mine was 3 shades of primer

 

We used to joke it meant “Going To Ohio”

 

It’s credited for starting the muscle car era. Thanks John DeLorean.

 

For the Camaro, engine isn’t a deal killer, but I do prefer a big block.

I am in the market for a ‘68 and I am all in between 20 and 30k, depending on how it is equipped.

Any leads appreciated.

 

Awesome.

 

A 68 GTO and a porta john

Your brother has his crap together

A convertible no less

 

20-30 k is going to be tough unless you plan to do a lot of work

Autotrader.com has one at 29

 

sweet!

 

That is the nicest porta-potty I've ever seen.
