it's a Toyota Matrix with a Pontiac emblem.
in the 70's and 80's, yeah, it was common to find build sheets in the cars.
| The Vibe is cheaper used I think, without the Toyotas (real or imagined) reputation, which took a huge dive in the last 7 or so years. Cool about the build sheets. Seems Mopar fans are special. When selling my Cordoba, a guy just wanted to look at the serial number and talk about it. He drove a '69 New Yorker. When looking at a 70's Satellite the seller pointed out check marks done on the assembly line. Worst part is, I can kind of relate, lol. Seeing Christine on the line gets me excited. In the book Wheels, a pissed off worker puts a Coke bottle inside the rocker, to give the car a forever rattle that can't be traced.

Same... I love that part of the movie. When I worked for GM, during the "dark times" when bankruptcy was looming above our heads, we had some interesting things come through on brand new vehicles, the best being a brand new pickup which kept coming back with a random clattering noise from underneath on corners. We FINALLY found a nut and bolt with a bunch of washers in between rolling around inside the left frame rail, with a note on a GM parts tag that said "How long did it take you bastards to find this?"
| in the 70's when the domestic auto industry was facing truly dark times, layoffs and such, disgruntled workers would put nuts, bolts, bottles, anything to make noise in the rocker panels of cars (Vegas and Chevelles/Malibus were the most notorious) so they would be impossible to ever find the noise.

| I'm still waiting for my cat toys to come back to me. I haven't done this in a while, but my cats like to leave their catnip mice in my work shoes. I'd find them when I finally got to work and I'd get pissed off at something, then shove the cat toy in the core of a shipping roll behind the core plug. I probably did that 10 or 20 times that I can remember. Never heard a word about it. Probably never will either. Betting those guys never heard anything about their bolts either.
