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.



I have an acquaintance that still has the GTO convertible he bought
new. He went in looking at a LeMans and notice the GTO in the
corner. Salesmen said just an overpowered car, don't buy. Great
selling point.

His name isn't Bob is it?
One of my customer's has a very similar story and that exact car, a black
GTO convertible with all the factory goodies.
LOL
