Owned by conglomerate Honeywell. Maker of low quality, well marketed oil filters. Also makers of air filters that aren't that bad. Their oil filters are unlikely to ruin your engine but it's a premium priced product that is made cheaper than those costing less. Fram uses glue to hold cheap cardboard end caps on the filter media. You can spend one or two bucks less and get a filter with metal end caps. When cut open Fram's end paper caps make them look more like a roll of toilet paper than an oil filter.
My engine knocked during cold starts with the OCOD and Tough Guard. I Dumped the fram and went with Purolator Classic. No more knocking.
Fram filters are known as OCOD. Orange Can of Death. I use a Wal-Mart Super Tech before Fram.
Fram makes other relabeled filters. A good alternative is Purolator, Wix or Motorcraft. Motorcraft is made by Purolator at the time of writing.

Get the Frammug. A car General Motors quit making in 1967.
The current overly plastic turd marketed by GM as a Z06 Corvette can go over 190 mph. This is the main argument when owners and prospective owners bash other all other cars. Never mind the US speed limit is 70mph and these losers would crap on themselves at over 120. Their cars are driven no faster than a POS Chevy Malibu.
The best thing about not owning a Corvette is that they are a bigger cop magnet than an INDY car. Reason being they are not likely to pull over a Porsche 911 or Ferrari cause they don't know what the hell it is, although some cops mistake Ferrari for corvette cause it has round tail lights and must be a Curvette, Duh! So basically you have a car that a Jealous, idiot cop knows and can brag to his buddies, "I wrote a black covette for 59 in a 45. Really he was on doing 35." This is the main reason Corvettes and Vipers are seen in parade mode, 15 mph under the speed limit.

Corvette was a great car till the bean counters fired the styling department and started using cheaper materials.

Get the corvettemug. What you call a Trans Am, Firebird or Camaro. Old GM would cut cost and makes knock-offs or variations of their own products
The Term Came about since they are almost the same cars and the owner would likely be as happy with the opposite of what they own since it's the same with exceptions being minor interior change, some trim, grill, tail-lights, wheels. These cars share many of the same components and design. This still happens but being more conscience of a wiser consumer interiors and exteriors are much different than sister cars unlike the 70s-90s.

Skeeter bought an IROC-Z and later saw a Firebird Formula in the same color. Skeeter didn't really giver a crap since both are really TransCamaros.
GM brought you the TransCamaro and the Oldsmnova. Is it a Chevrolet Nova, a Pontiac Ventura or an Oldsmobile Omega? Unless you're a collector no few care.
A Ford version of the TransCamaro was the Mustang/Capri.
