1973 Pontiac Catalina Coupe 400 from North America
Summary:
My First car and Beefiest car!!!
Faults:
Had to get exhaust custom bent but orange peelers were a nice enhancement.
Transmission coolant line rubbed against frame and caused leakage which overheated and blew transmission.
Air Conditioning was shot before I got it.
Rear differential made loud humming sound like a dump truck.
General Comments:
This vehical was a tank. I mean I could literally mount a 50mm gun to the roof of this baby and take out 1000 Saddam loyalist a day. So roomy you could stretch legs all the way out and would not touch front floorboard. I drove the heck out of this car and gave it a proper burial when it finally left me. The next day I went and bought a New 1988 Pontiac Grand Am. That's how impressed I was with Pontiac. Big Trade off with power going to a 4 cylinder, but I expected that obviously. I really miss that car!!!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

What is it with this "urban assault vehicle" crap?
Seems like every dolt driving some big old rear wheel drive Detroit clunker from the 70's or early '80's feels compelled to describe it with this ridiculous term.
What is it they intend to "assault" anyway?
Other driver's eyeballs with their extraordinary ugliness?
