Iron Horse, actually you seem to enjoy being politically correct at the slightest perceived insult.
The next time you exercise your judgemental nature by leaping to a conclusion, you might consider that there is more that one explaination to the world according to you.
Frankly, when I signed up here I couldn't find any suitable combinations that I would remember. However, as I'm seriously into classic Pontiac vehicles, I chose to use an affectionate term frequently used to describe our vehicles. As the original marque is named after the proud Pontiac tribe of Native Americans, it isn't much of a leap to associate terminology historically associated with the Native American culture to these vehicles.
My screen-name refers to a car with a borrowed name. You need to seriously lighten up before you start calling people racist, and all that other crap.
At this point, I really don't care whether you understand me, and what I stand for; or if you choose to take a flying stab at a rolling doughnut.
Oh, and did you actually have anything to contribute here other than trying to demonstrate your lack of class by attempting to publicly embarrass me? Maybe something to do with F-150s?

In*un Matt,
I have never seen an official title of a vehicle with the very racist term, In*un in it. If there was one, this country would not tolerate such a racist title for very long.
I did not refer to you as a racist, I stated that your screen name is racist, pathetic and unfunny.
Pontiac was an American Indian leader, not a tribe! Pontiac was a war leader that fought against British occupation in the Great Lakes area. Some refer to him as a "Chief", but that is questionable. He was actually of Ottawa and Ojibwa Indian descent.
It takes a very big "leap of stupidity and or ignorance" to ever think that the term, "In*un is an acceptable part of MY culture.
Keeping with the Pontiac theme, you could have easily used "Pontiac Matt" or "Star Chief" or "MattsJudge" or "MattsGTO" etc., but NOOOOOO, you had to embarrass yourself and this site with the use of a very racist and pathetic term. You show no class by using a term like this and actually trying to justify it. Infact, I do not know what is worse, your use of the term or the fact that you do not understand how racist and pathetic it is.
Over half my lineage (9/16th) is of American Indian descent (I am also German, Irish, Scottish and Dutch). I have owned five Pontiac Firebirds, I am an American and a Native American Indian with a lineage dating back thousands of years in this country, and I am stating for the record that, the use of the term, "in*un is not tolerated by American Indians in any shape or form and NO one would dare consider stating it verbally or in written form, in my part of the world.......nobody.

Matt,
Its not about what I think or what you think. Its about the usage of a very racist and pathetic term in this, the 21 century and the fact that, someone that comes to this forum not only is using it, but also, actually attempted to justify it.
The fact that your justification is not only ignorant, but that it was full of factual errors, only makes the usage of it even more pathetic.
The fact that you continue to use it on this forum only proves your ignorance exponentially with each and every reply you make on this site. ........please continue.
