This website was initially intended to be solely a tool to gather & publish data on surviving models of Pontiac 2+2’s. When Larry Kosek ran the Registry back in the 90’s, it was done the “Old-Fashioned” way – no Internet, no email, all on paper, labor intensive. I suppose that’s why it didn’t continue. I figured it could be easily revived with a web-based home (not so easily, but that’s another subject). Over the last few months, the website has grown to be more than just a Registry. We’ve incorporated a forum, we’re hosting articles, photo’s, video’s & links which should prove to be a valuable information resource for owners and those who don’t own a 2+2 but want to share in the knowledge and lore of these legendary cars.
In developing this site, we did not anticipate the need to provide for non-owners to be able to register without distorting the accuracy of the Registry itself. Those non-owners who wanted to join were forced to register with a “fictitious” car. The unintended consequence was that the Registry contained false data, compromising its integrity.
Therefore we've changed the registration process slightly, to distinguish between 2+2 OWNERS and SITE MEMBERS. The privileges for both types of registration are identical, except owners & their cars will be listed on the Registry, and they may post photo’s of their cars. Non-owners will have forum posting privileges, and voting rights on any polls.
Here’s how it works: Everyone can register by clicking the button at the top of the home page. You will be prompted with the following – “If you do not currently own a Pontiac 2+2 but wish to register, select "None" from the pull-down box of the required car-related fields. Leave all optional car-related fields blank."
So non-owners are encouraged to register, but we ask that you not detract from the accuracy of the Registry by entering dummy VIN’s. Just select “none” where required. Those owners who have a problem disclosing their car’s VIN may enter XXX at the end , but will be asked to verify 2+2 ownership prior to registration approval.
Our intent is not to discourage registration, or discriminate between owners & 2+2 fans, but to protect the Registry data. That is, after all, the primary purpose of this website.
Thanks!
