ACID FLASHBACK THURSDAY - Pontiac Firebird Esprit
Filed in Car and Driver, November 17, 2008, 1:02 pm by Mr. WonderfulI have known a few GM F-Bodies in my time: Pod’s Trans Am, Phid’s Camaro Berlinetta. The Firebird “Esprit” is a different sort of catch. We thought they were cool in the ’70s, even with the automotive equivalent of a combover, the front half vinyl roof. Not as cool as Trans As or Z-28s, mind you, more of a hot secretary kind of cool.
My 7th grade anthropology teacher, Mrs. Kuhn drove one. This one is a ‘77; hers was a ‘74-76 version. Van Halen was right - I had it bad for my teacher.

Amazing photos. We know who’s taking delivery of this monster.
Photographed testing on public roads and highways, we think this behemoth might actually be more of a truck than a limo. With so much armor being added, it appears GM may have needed a medium-duty truck chassis like the Topkick platform. We observed the limo testing along with two regular Topkick trucks and the wheels and tires on the limo appeared to be the same size as the Topkick. The tires on the limo are Goodyear Regional RHS tires, though we couldn’t tell if they are 22.5 inch or 19.5 inch wheels. As far as powertrain, all we can say for sure is that a very large diesel was under the hood. The exhaust note coming from the back of the limo was quite similar to the medium-duty Topkick trucks.

It gets better.
Dear Arizona
It’s 65. Oh wait, 55. Snap. Nah, I guess I meant 65 after all. Thanks for the $181. Enjoy the jam from artificially induced slowing.
It’s all about safety, really.
