New Living Place for the Trans Am

Alright guys, I finally talked my mother into letting me park the Trans am under the car port. The old occupant was my step-dad’s (who’s gone for 7 months to Iraq) Dodge Ram 2500 V-10 4x4 Off Road. Now it sits on the side of the road; and mine is protected from the elements.



Hard to believe those car ports only cost $850 for two cars.

My mom's 2000 Grand Prix GTP (supercharged) goes in the other spot. That car is fast man. I can floor that thing and the wheels spin like crazy.

You can also see our motor cycle and our sea doo. The motor cycle is a Honda Shadow and the Sea doo is a GTI (3 seater model.) They both won’t be getting used for the 7 months until he gets back. Both have been prepared fro the long wait also. Fully winterized.


Well yeah, my car is now protected from the crazy pinecones falling everywhere, rain, everything. At least for the rest of the time my step-dad is gone for.

Yeah man, one hit my moms car while i was washing it. Insurance covered it.

Act of got my ***, it made such a dent looked like the pine cone came out of a cannon. I mean the whole roof behind the sunroof, was dented in. It was fu*king scare hearing a pine cone hit branch, after branch, picking up spped. I ran for cover, while the car stayed there. I looked like i was getting ready to get shelled my neighbor said(he is a WWII vet). When it hit the car, i came inside and said, mom it's not my fault. She like oh what did you do this time. Then ya know theh rest of those kinda stories.

Moral of the story is, watch out, them pine cones will ruin your thirdgen. If one hit my car, i'd shoot every squirel in the tree that may have knocked it off. I swear, if something happens to my car i would die. I mean, its almost my life. My girl friend sees how i get caught up in my car, but other girls make fun of me for it. They think its weird i have 12 photos of my car in my wallet. I mean what kinda guy doesn't? Do you keep pics of your car in your wallet? I mean for people who havn't seen it? Like little freshman thathave never been to the par,king lot ion their life, i have to show them. They are life awesome, cool car. Others are like, ahh its ****ty(its cause their jelious my friends.)

It’s not that many. I mean it does stiffen up the wallet but still. Some people think it’s cool that I like my car that much and others think I’m obsessed or something. I mean they laugh at me that the only thing they ever see me reading is car books; Car parts, engine books, all kids of stuff. My teachers even make fun of me for my books. I raced my teacher the other day.

Me in my '86 Trans Am and her in her '95 Jeep Cherokee. Guess who won? It was me! I stopped at 120MPH while she was at 95MPH. It was awesome. The Dainespoint Bridge is awesome, no cops anywhere.
