Looks 70's-ish. Maybe early 80's. I dunno. Definitely is a Pontiac, though. 1980's Pontiac.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 07-20-2004 10:03 PM                        LG just finished the conversion of the nine-year-old Fremont Street Experience here from halogen to LED display. The canopy runs east from Main Street down to 4th Street, about 1,500'. Some of the new vs. old stats: Display--12.5 million LEDs vs. 1.9 million lamps Pixel count--4,168,704 vs. 477,664 pixels Pixel pitch--6.5" vs. 2.0" Resolution--7,552 x 552 vs. 2596 x 154 Power usage--2,200,000 vs. 7,833,000 Watts at full intensity Lamp life--50,000 vs. 5,000 hours  |  IP: Logged Adam Wilbert Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 590 From: Bellingham, WA, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 07-21-2004 12:56 AM                        good try joe.

Sorry, i forgot to mention that part. It is a 2004 Pontiac Sunfire. It's Blue for those of you with amberchrome monitors still. And it's also my first manual transmission car, which has been interesting over the past few weeks. Yeah, I'm thinking about putting those spinning rims on it and some stickers. That'll make 'er diggidy. -Adam  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-21-2004 01:30 AM                        Manual transmissions rock. You are definitely more in control of your car. Also it means you can drive any type of car in an emergency. For example let's say you are out with a friend in his car, and he drives a manual transmission. Your friend breaks a leg or something while you are out and you must drive his car to get him to the hospital. If you only know how to drive an auto, your friend will most obviously die. Or say you are running from scandalous evildoers waving knives in the middle of the night. There is a car that you see that you can use for an escape. The keys are in the ignition (of course!). You get in. It's a stick. You ain't goin' nowhere! You die a very slow, violent, painful, bloody death. And like Michael Shaffer sez: Everyone gets what they deserve!  |  IP: Logged Adam Wilbert Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 590 From: Bellingham, WA, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 07-21-2004 01:41 AM                        That's exactly what I told the dealer. If someone is maniac is after me with a knife... Anyway, sometimes I still feel like the car is doing it's own thing, but I'm getting the hang of it. Going downhill in 2nd without having my foot on the brake is kind of strange feeling. -adam  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

They're just not as fun to drive as sticks are.  |  IP: Logged Mike Pennell Expert Film Handler Posts: 150 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Apr 2003 posted 07-21-2004 04:14 AM                     It's definitely not an arizona plate.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 07-21-2004 07:50 AM                        Drive the 91 freeway and THEN say that stick-shifts are more fun! Automatics are really the only way to stay sane in Southern California traffic.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 07-21-2004 08:55 AM                        quote: Paul Mayer Display--12.5 million LEDs vs. 1.9 million lamps Pixel count--4,168,704 vs. 477,664 pixels Pixel pitch--6.5" vs. 2.0" Resolution--7,552 x 552 vs. 2596 x 154 Power usage--2,200,000 vs. 7,833,000 Watts at full intensity Lamp life--50,000 vs. 5,000 hours LEDs have advantages over tungsten lamps in more areas than just sound readers.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

I own a black 2000 sunfire with spoiler, fun little car, esp. with 5-speed. Watch out for the normal Pontiac electrical I've replaced a few Oxygen sensors, and an instrument cluster. When I bought it, my best friend nicknamed it "The Estro-gizer"  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 07-22-2004 12:22 AM                        Come on guys...
