Too much lewd for now? ;)
 
When someone is telling you how Incineroar is so much better than Primarina

I knowledge this isn't strictly SFW, but if you're on QQ at work you've got bigger problems than this.

People that pick the wrong starter am I right?

2008 Pontiac G8 ST concept vehicle

In the 2006-07 timeframe, GM executives once again floated the idea of making a car-based pickup available for sale in the United States to take advantage of both a resurgent performance market, and the boom in trucks as a 'lifestyle vehicle,' deciding on finally importing the Holden Ute from their Australian operations to the US. It was decided to make the vehicle a Pontiac, as starting in the 2008 model year, Pontiac would be selling another Holden-made vehicle in the US, the Zeta-platform Commodore VE, as the G8 sport sedan. The G8 ST received an extremely favorable response on the auto show circuit, and it was thus approved for production, to be introduced in the 2010 model year. Like the G8 sedan, the G8 ST would have been offered with either a V-6 backed by an automatic transmission, or by one of two V-8s, the more powerful of which would also be offered with a 6-speed manual, depending on the trim level.

However, the G8 ST was not to be, becoming one of the first of many casualties of GM's financial collapse at the end of the decade, with its cancellation being announced in January, 2009, with the G8 itself following at the end of the model year, along with the entire Pontiac Motor Division, as part of a streamlining of the corporate structure forced by GM's bankruptcy reorganization and government bailout later that year.

Mouse-over text: "But there are seven billion people in the world! I can't possibly stop to consider how ALL of them might interpret something!" "Ah, yes, there's no middle ground between 'taking personal responsibility for the thoughts and feelings of every single person on Earth' and 'covering your eyes and ears and yelling logically correct statements into the void.' That's a very insightful point and not at all inane."

1976 Cadillac/Traditional Coach Works Mirage

Although Chevrolet and GMC were the only GM divisions to put a car-based light truck into production, and most of the officially sanctioned experimenting by other divisions was done by Pontiac, that did not stop enterprising customizers from creating their own interpretations of such vehicles based on other GM vehicles. Perhaps the fanciest of these custom conversions was this, the Mirage, produced by Traditional Coach Works of Chatsworth, CA in 1976-77, based on the contemporary Cadillac Coupe de Ville. One of several modified Cadillacs in the Traditional Coach Works line-up, the Mirage was aimed at well-heeled buyers who were interested in something rather fancier than an El Camino or Sprint. Despite not being endorsed by GM, the Mirage was often sold through Cadillac dealers. It is estimated that Traditional Coach Works produced between 200-240 Mirages in its 2-year run, before dropping it as a result of GM starting to downsize its full-size platforms in 1978, and the company evidently went out of business soon afterwards.
