Bex and I were behind this - it was coming from the testing grounds (near our house). Definitely didn't sound like a stock GT, and... oh look... a ROLL CAGE.

Image

As soon as I whipped out the camera, homeboy was GONE. Like, GTFO gone.

Image

I took a picture of this because, well... Hell, I dunno WHY I took a picture of this POS, other than to marvel at the fact that it actually still runs.

Image

Snapped this at Barrett-Jackson a few weeks ago. Someday, I *will* own a 1977 Trans Am. And grow an epic mustache.

Sometimes, when you find yourself needing a truck, but all you have is a Caprice Classic Estate Wagon, and all the kids are grown, and the Sawzall hasn't been used much...

...and finally, my neighbor's truck. It's retarded. He parks it in front of the house, and the roof is even with the 2nd-floor windowsills. :) He's like 5'7", and there's no steps or ladder - He just monkeys his short a$$ up into it.

Yeah, because we all know that bodywork prevents all rocks from flying up.

IDGAF anyway... I have full glass coverage (free).

It's probably an AZ thing. If you have comp and collision, you get glass free. See, they "chip seal" the roads every few years here. Lots of rocks flying.

Nah, I only have theft coverage and liability. Comp is too much for a guy with bills and rent talking up 70% of his take home pay each month.

^This. While they are mating, the female praying mantis (sometimes) eats the males head so that the protein from the male body helps the eggs develop. That's badass. :dblthumb:

I was test driving a new GT-CS and the guy was telling me that the Boss 302 came factory with a roll cage. I know that one's not a Boss, but I believe the roll cage/rear seat delete was a factory option on the new 2011 models.

I love that model year T/A. Also, did you see the 1969 T/A 400 Ram Air IV that sold? There wasn't a lot of detail about who bought it. It wasn't even shown on T.V. Dad was watching the auctions and he didn't see it go. Had to check the website for the info.

Ya know, I'm not sure...but what kind of car is that? I mean, I think I see Mustang all over it, but still not sure. Maybe if there were a few more stickers that said Mustang on it, I might be able to figure it out...

And the Neon with Supra tails...

At least it's not another attempt at Skyline tails. I'll call that a Neopra.

You could have bought a car with what you spent on tea.

You can brew it at home by the gallon, y'know. Just an idea... :)

Best part of my insurance! Saved me a fortune when I had to get the windshield on the 240 replaced...the HUD version.
