On August 17, 2006, I took possession of a 2005 Pontiac Sunfire.  The 1999 Chevy Cavalier I was driving was experiencing several major mechanical failures, and the 1995 Ford Aspire I also owned had 180K+ miles and was beginning to show it's age.  After test driving a couple of different cars including a Ford Focus and a Honda Civic, I decided that this particular Sunfire was for me.

Some basic specifications on my Pontiac Sunfire:

2.2L Ecotec inline-4 engine, producing 140 horsepower.
4-speed Automatic Transmission
AM/FM stereo with in-dash CD player
6 speaker sound system
Full instrument panel with tachometer
0-60 MPH in about 8.5 seconds

The Sunfire will be taking me on many road trips in the future.  And, I am proud to dedicate a small corner of Delmarva Highways to the newly dedicated Delmarva Highways Battle Crusier.

The Sunfire features many creature comforts, such as air conditioning and a 6-speaker sound system with CD player.  I also have a Delphi SkyFI tuner installed for my XM radio listening pleasure.


The Sunfire's power plant.

Under the hood is a fuel injected General Motors 2.2L Ecotec inline-4, boasting 140 horsepower.  It produces quite a bit of torque for it's size, making it very quick off the line.  It also handles very well at high speeds.

And just for good measure... the Pontiac emblem.  General Motors would be proud.
