The Pontiac GTO is often regarded as the car that kicked off the muscle car era. We explain what GTO stands for and where those letters originated.

What Does GTO Stand For On The Pontiac Muscle Car?

Just because a car brand goes the way of the dinosaur doesn't mean that it can't be fondly remembered for years after. Take, for instance, Pontiac, which rose to prominence throughout the 20th century under the General Motors umbrella after starting out under Oakland Motor Car in the 1920s. It came to light in 2009 that GM was retiring the brand, shifting focus primarily to Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac. With that, Pontiac was a thing of the past by 2010. Nevertheless, there are a few classic Pontiac cars we'd like to see make a comeback someday, with the Pontiac GTO deservedly among them.

Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed. Now that trucks have become daily drivers and even luxury vehicles, they mostly have automatics, but manual transmissions used to be the standard in pickups.

Most of you have probably never found your engine or transmission dipstick to be off, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t. When you mix aftermarket dipsticks, tubes, and oil or transmission pans, you never really know if any of these go together enough to be accurate on how much fluid is in the transmission or engine. I know that I have filled an engine with the proper amount of oil, according to the oil pan manufacturer, only to find that the dipstick reads a full quart low. Hmmm. I guess that is better than it reading full when it isn’t!

Kourtney Kardashian received lukewarm feedback as she channeled her inner grunge girl while enjoying an NYC outing with husband Travis Barker. In September 2022, the 45-year-old reality star strolled the Big Apple’s streets with her Blink 182 drummer husband, doing so as the couple made headlines for pausing IVF treatments.

Frank Flynn took ownership of this 1966 Pontiac GTO back in 1967, when he was 18 years old. A Ford dealership in Philadelphia had just taken the GTO in on trade from the elderly gentlemen who had bought it new. Why was he trading it in after owing it for nine months? The story is, he said the car was too fast and he wanted something more tame. A friend of Frank’s worked at the dealership and told him about the recent trade-in. Frank rushed to the dealership, and upon seeing the GTO, he knew he had to have it. He signed the papers for the $1,900 sale price and committed to the $62-per-month payment plan.

The Ford Super Duty debuted for the 1999 model year, and hasn’t looked back. Rather, the heavy-duty truck has proven to be a bonafide top-seller and massive profit generator for The Blue Oval, and we’re even starting to see earlier models with low miles pop up at collector car auctions as well. That list has expanded yet again, this time, to include this 2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty that has just 39k miles on the odometer.

High-value supercars are typically cherished and meticulously maintained, making it rare to find one abandoned and forgotten. However, a Ford GT, left neglected for over a decade, was recently discovered by the VINwiki YouTube channel in Georgia. This extraordinary find had been sitting in a garage for 10 to 15 years, accumulating dust and mold on its once-immaculate interior.

When you and your kids are sitting under the golden arches at the local McDonald's Playland, just know this: You're one of the reasons that America's favorite fast food chain can brag that it has sold more than a billion hamburgers. Yes, that's a billion with a "B." And it's very likely that the famous worldwide burger joint has sold many more burgers than that, given that a) McDonald's sold about 75 burgers a second globally in 2021 (per Investing.com) and b) there are 86,400 seconds in a day. To figure out how that per-second number was reached, you have to do a bit of math. Investing.com reported that Mickey D's sells 6.48 million burgers per day. To get the per-second count, you have to divide 6.48 million by 86,400 seconds to get 75 burgers a second.

As many of you know, our friend Steve Magnante nearly died from a brain infection he got last year, but has been making big improvements over the past few months. We would have loved seeing Steve doing a feature video on this car regardless, but we’re even more excited because of the circumstances, and love that High Octane Classics has gotten him to do them. The cars featured in these videos are for sale at High Octane, so if you like what you see then give them a call or go to their website via the link below.

Ford has finally jumped on the bandwagon of automakers with their own line of e-bikes. The company has collaborated with bike manufacturer N+ to introduce two new e-bikes inspired by two of its most iconic models, the Bronco and Mustang. According to Ford, the pair of e-bikes are directly tied to the two storied models, making them unique. “We know the passion and thrill that gets unlocked when people get behind the wheel of a Bronco and Mustang,” Tyler Hill, Ford’s global brand licensing manager, said in a statement. “These new eBikes will allow more people to experience the adventurous spirit of a Bronco and the exhilaration of a Mustang from the moment they grip the handlebars.”

For the past decade or so, the term “junkyard LS” has been so overused and overhyped that it has lost a lot of its pizazz. However, that doesn’t mean there’s no such thing as junkyard performance. While on the Blue Oval side of the equation, not only are the Coyotes expensive to acquire — even out of the junkyard — but they also tend to be on the spendy side to build. Ford’s latest pushrod engine — the 7.3-liter Godzilla — is proving to be quite a junkyard runner.
