Just saw a red GTO with a vanity plate...

... which read "GTSLOW"

He also had some very tasteful rims and the car was in very good shape. He must love that thing, in spite of his pun-tastic plate.

Wish I could have captured a photo but even a GTSLOW is much faster than a Tercel.

Nice to see a GTO who's owner hasn't completely blacked everything out or turned it into a ricer like object.

Yeah last two i saw were primered and had those hideous aftermarket tailights... One looked like the weekend project of a 19 year old (with poor taste) and the other had clearly been in some kind of wreck.

Same, Most of the ones I've seen have shitty taillight tint, horrible Altezza looking lights, Crappy spray painted stock wheels and really horrible excessively loud resonator deleted stock exhausts.

I love what this car represents, but that exterior has never done anything for me.

I like when the overspray gets on the tires themselves. I'm about to bandaid some old wheels with low-end spray paint and my only goal is to not look like I did it completely half-assed. I guess I shouldn't talk until after I prove I can do better.

A lasting relic of a earlier time. Wish I had gotten that 1988 firebird a few years back.

Haha, When it's black it tends to blend in a little bit more than usual. Cheap wheels and spray paint go hand in hand though. Mainly because I don't feel that it's a waste to have to spray paint some horrible old Chinese wheels that are probably made out of the cheapest kind of metal that you can find.

Not disagreeing per se, but I just love seeing cars kept in great shape and signs that the owner likes heir car in some way. Besides the only Pontiacs you ever see here, ever, are Vibes... Which are just a rebadged Matrix. So when I see a GTO I take note!

I saw the same car in OC last year. Also, the 06 came with smoked out tailights stock.

3 cylinder engine swap?

Geo metro engine or one out of a Subaru Justy?

Maybe he swapped in a TDI. GTSLOW would be appropriate. Though then I might have went with GOATDI.

I'm going to say Geo for maximum irony. It's a lot less jalop than the wonderful Justy.

That was probably taken already.

Unfortunate. GTSTD was probably taken too, by a guy with a Viper GTS and hepatitis. All the good plates are already in circulation.

I think that is likely what happened.

GTSLOW, nice. Sounds accurate! There used to be a guy around me with a GTO that had the plate GOATSE.
