Is anybody here losing sleep over the demise of Pontiac? Probably not. Is the loss of Pontiac a big deal? Not really.
There's not much in life that is a big deal, but there are things that have at least some emotional relevance. There are also events and occurrences that mark our passage through life. We tend mark and measure our lives with such mileposts as, "Before I turned 21." and "After we bought the house." It is in our nature to make note of such events. And in a community that has gathered for the purpose building, promoting and discussing model cars, I would honestly be more surprised if the discontinuation of a major American automotive name plate passed without comment or note.
No, it's not a big deal, but neither was the World Series, and I guess there are still some folks talking about that too.
