I personally never saw any need for pontiacs. Most of their cars were identical to chevrolets, the camaro and the firebird/Trans am for instance.

Daily Horoscope for January 8

Leo

Why are you still fighting, Leo? Everyone else went home a long time ago, but you're still here pounding your fists on the table. Although you don't want to admit it, accepting defeat may be your most practical option at this point. Sometimes it's just easier to move on than to keep up the fight. When you're forced to restructure, at least you have a chance to redefine. YouÃl get the opportunity to start with a clean slate, so use it to your advantage.
