The original company went out of business then they sold the name/logo rights a few years back. The stuff today isn't the same.

Pontiac was ORIGINALLY a great company and made some great vehicles.

The Aztec was a car ahead of it's time, the build quality was poor but it was very functional and a good concept. Just poorly executed.

Olympia beer


Can still be found, though it is no longer brewed in Tumwater. That old brewhouse is pretty sweet.

Ecstasy. Back in the 90s when it had all kinds of great shite chocked into it, it was worth the high price. Now, the weak-arse Molly is just a shadow of what "the love drug" once was.

fricking millennials. They - like - can't even.

I agree..the old school OP. But, they still sell it at Wal-Mart.

As someone else said, GT and Mongoose are still being made. Mongoose I think is sold at Wal Mart though.

Is that a Land Cruiser from around 1950? That's the first car I ever rode in (the four-door sedan); it was our family car. I don't know if it was a "quality brand" but it looked cool as shite.
