i was driving home from work today and the route i take is the test drive route for the pontiac dealership down the street. so there are test drivers all the time. you can tell who they are by the liscence plate held on by magnets on the rear trunklid. well, anyway, as im going i come up on a new grand prix GTP, and i see smoke begin to come out of the thing and as i pass it it sounds terrible then completely dies. think that person will buy a pontiac?!?!?!? lol...i drove by about half an hour later and it was being hoisted onto a flat bed...ahh such is the life with american cars

The same thing happened to a friend of mine, only she had just BOUGHT the car. She was on her way home on the highway and smoke was pouring out of the engine compartment and that was the end of the car, too bad it was a 5th gen Max.
