A local idiots car. I believe that spoiler is a mix between bondo and wood.

Ahem, guys, who took that picture again? Yeah!

It was a V6 5 Speed firebird with T/A GFX and Corvette emblems

We just saw it parked where he worked at and HAD to run home and grab the camera! I've posted it in here before, back a couple months ago.

Kinda repeating myself from an old post but hey for the "newbies"

I was with Dave when he took the picture. We were laughing at the guys car, while the guy was looking at us from his works window.

See we all hang out during the summer at a parking lot by the movie theatre, we have like 30 cars there some nights, and one of these visits he was power braking around corners trying to squeal his tires. In addition to the Corvette emblem on the hood it had racing pins on the stock hood, a crooked stripe that looks exactly like duct tape, and stock exhaust that was bent to come out under the passenger side door with a chrome autozone tip.

Funny story while I am ripping on this car, is that one night while trying to show off he was driving by us and someone got infront of him and actually pissed on the hood of his car. It was great. Then one night, he was driving with someone else and left his keys in the car, I took off and floored it, geez...I thought the LO3's were slow, these made the LO3s seem fast.

I wonder whatever happened to Ken?

Yeah, I last saw the car last september maybe? I think someone broke into the car and stole the subs.

Dave-remember coming back from Rebecca's halloween party, we saw that car broke down on an onramp to the highway. LOL
