Well, Pete, so much for getting rid of all your keys

[@redwoodloghousewi]

@@redwoodloghousewi oh, Peter already made a video about it

[@stew411]

Ron this was totally bad ass sir. I am a total car fan and as much I totally love your other rides, this one has so much heart and soul over all the others. I am a huge Pete fan and know he will cherish this car forever. Keep up the great content sir.

Saddened it's gone, and without a photoshoot of our "Screaming Chickens" together. But whoever this Pete guy is, he just got cooler to me! 👍🏼 #transambrothas

I caught that 'screaming chicken' quote from that car show lady who faked her way into the job! One of the funniest clips I've seen to date! LOL! ;-)

[@UtahJohnnyL]

@eCommerceImages Jokes on you, she was 100% correct in her statements about the Screaming Chicking (term actually used by Pontiac at one time) AND the Turbo lightbar gauge on 80 & 81 Turbo cars! Poor girl got crucified for nothing, she knew her stuff! 😎

[@eCommerceImages]

@@UtahJohnnyL - REALLY?! Holy crapola - that's some mad trivia! I thought you were winding me up on both counts, so Googled it quickly and low & behold - she was right! LOL! To anyone else unaware of this, I'll paste the story below: 'A beloved symbol of 1970s car culture. An icon of disco era design. A redneck’s red-letter regalia. It’s gaudy. Garish. Tacky. Even vulgar. And we love it. This is the story of Pontiac’s Screaming Chicken, the largest and most recognizable decal in automotive history. Lost to time is the name of the man that first referred to the graphic as a “Screaming Chicken.” The nickname came quickly. By the late 1970s, even Car and Driver was using the label. No doubt derogatory, over time the epithet has become one of endearment, although the brand’s hardest purists still hate it. That bunch landed on “hood bird” four decades ago and refuse to budge. Others go with “Rising Phoenix” or simply “Firebird.” The ignorant usually refer to the massive flaming fowl as an Eagle or a Hawk. Pontiac officially called it the Trans Am Hood Decal and introduced it as option code WW7 on the 1973 Trans Am. At $55 it was popular and would remain on the pony car’s option list, in one form or another and attached to many different option codes, for 11 years. In 1976, Pontiac’s Firebird brochure referred to the Screaming Chicken as “the available giant Firebird hood decal.” Starting that year the unmistakable graphic was glued to the hood of every Special Edition, Anniversary and Pace Car model Trans Am sold until 1981. Many inside General Motors did not like the large illustration and were surprised by the public’s enthusiasm for the enormous hood bird, as was Car and Driver, which in 1977 called the Trans Am’s graphics cornball. GM designer John Schinella wasn’t surprised by its success. He knew it was going to be a hit and fought his bosses for years to get it on the car.' #bonkers 🤣

[@ThatOneChannelinAZ]

I want a 1989 GTA Trans Am Pace car and a 1991 GTA Trans Am and a mid 2000's Pontiac Firehawk . two dream cars for myself. When i was a kid one of the Mariners had a 1993 Firehawk and if i remember correctly they made like low 200's of those. My Kenny G songs are Sentimental, Loving You, The Moment & my Heart Will Go On.
