Which brings up a classic sports car fanatic trivia question: What
did GTO stand for, as in Pontiac GTO or Ferrari GTO? It was an
abbreviation in Italian, but most people don't know what it means
even after you translate it into English. d8-)

Grand Tourisimo wan't it?

That's the "GT." What's the "O"? The "O" is the hard part. d8-)

O
I mean Oh.
"Ceritfied" or "Approved" in English. That isn't literal.
To an American buyer it meant "Long, Wide Penis" however.

Exactly. Connotations are important here. d8-)

LOL
I still have a couple of chrome plated die cast emblems that say "Vega
Chaparral".
GM was pretty far along when Hall complained.

Huh. I didn't know about that one. Or I forgot it. Did GM think that Hall
owed them? He probably did -- not financially, but for turning out those
special automatic transmissions, which were brilliant and which allowed the
driver to use his left foot to control the wing.
