Some plywood and yellow paint was missing from my garage, then I saw this "trans am"
 
and now I know where all the plywood, my yellow paint, and excess construction supplies have gone. Including a rusty pipe shaped hood prop rod.

Trans Am Race Car

I actually don`t want my plywood back. It`s been wrecked, now.

We should take up a pool and bid on it.... Just so we can watch it get crushed

I'm sorry, I just don't see the need to trash someone else's vision of the car they want to build. Pro-touring cars, I'm sure, offend the strict restoration guys, yet they don't come on this board and trash what we do.

While the car in question is neither a pro-touring car nor a restoration, do we really need to mock somone else's vision to feel better about ourselves?

Sure it's hardly my style, but whoever built that car is engaged in the car hobby, instead of attacking it. For that reason alone, I won't mock the car or the builder.

No biggie.... the rest of us are happy to!:D


Seriously -- WTH is wrong with America these days? Do we always have to be politically correct? Let's call a spade a spade... that thing is a complete pile of crap.

Since when to do we have to hand out a trophy just for "participation"... :faint:

Shmoov69 10-04-2012 10:57 AM

We all "deserve" trophys don't ya know?!?! :faint:

It sure is a pile of crap.

That said, you don't need to get your panties in a wad. I didn't praise the car or give the builder an award for participation, I just don't see the need for these threads mocking what someone else has built.

GregWeld 10-04-2012 11:36 AM

Mike --- we're actually in agreement... but it's still fun. A monumental waste of time etc... but ya gotta laugh at "something".


:cheers:

at least you can go to Home Depot if it needs body work.

If that boat-style latch on the back opens up to a cooler full of beer then the car is brilliant. After a few of those beers, I'll even go for a ride in it. Same thing as drinkin' her on up to a 10. Kinda what Pontiac Aztec owners have to do.

Vegas69 10-04-2012 02:10 PM

As I always say, Whatever floats your boat. :lol:

Hilarious.

Sorry I can't help but laugh, look at the last pic of the removable roof WITH a sunroof and the latches that hold it on :lol: :lol:

Nice gaps!




Hey - this "build" almost has more posts than Dave's! Well... more about the actual car anyway!
:rofl:

Vegas69 10-04-2012 09:05 PM

This one is probably more reliable and certainly faster. :lol:
