only twice, I am ashamed to admit........once back in1973, and once just last year in Houston.......they quit touring after their "Pretzel Logic" tour, where they claimed they lost money, lost their equipment roadies to girls and drugs along the tour, and both Becker and Fagen disavowed touring in 1974. As a matter of fact , they even dissolved their band and just "hired out" session musicians for each album from 1974-1982. They would hire a particular musician for a certain sound on a certain track , they were studio wizards, those two..............They reunited in 2003-2004 for their "Two Against Nature" CD , followed by 2006's "Everything Must Go."
 
You should check out their website, they are quite the literary bards........

Looks like a Korean Daewoo with a Pontiac snout...........maybe this is Pontiac's version of Chevrolet's Aveo subcompact.............I'm guessing new, 2008 ? Hardly surprising, considering the rapid decline of SUV sales ...........

Pontiac POS1000?
 
C'mon, GM. Every one is investing in small cars and you offer a 2nd clone of an outdated Korean car?

Is that the thing they are talking of replacing the Cobalt with and expanding it into the Pontiac and Saturn line?
 
Funny thing. I was going to post in here and say how I enjoy these and can almost always get the make but not the model and then you throw in that one. If I couldn't see that was a Pontiac I'd have to stop driving.

The Wave has been around a few years, though. This one is rumored to be coming here as the Pontiac G3, yet another rebadge for GM's Exciteless brand.

I'm sure the Aveo is very profitable, as it's gotta be cheap to build and they sell a lot of volume.
 
But the Fit is a lot better plus an update is coming out now that stretches the advantage even more.

Fagen did a tour in the early-mid '90s called the New York Rock and Soul Revue.. Included Phoebe Snow, Michael McDonald and Becker.. plus a couple of others that have slipped my mind..
 
We went with friends that had 9th row seats (outdoor ampitheatre/pavilion), and I was just hoping that they would do 2 or 3 Steely Dan songs.. They started the show, and Becker was nowhere in sight.. After 3 songs, he came out... and over the rest of the night, they did about 10-12 Steely Dan songs.. (out of about 30 songs, total).
 
I'm telling you... if you had been in the studio with them, it couldn't have been any better.. With McDonald doing the background vocals.. it was unreal.. Fagen was in top-notch vocal form.. though, as emcee of the show, he reminded me of Ed Sullivan..
 
After they did Pretzel Logic, you could have knocked me over with a feather... It was stunning!
 
Okay.. .back to your regularly scheduled programming..
 
To stay on topic... we drove there in a car.. but, which one is a mystery to me.. Wish I had a picture..
 
regards,
kyfdx

The idiots in WA state also want dual plates, unless you have year of manufacture plates, then you can get away with one.
