In 2005, I purchased my dream car (on ebay) from a mechanic in Cleveland, OH. She is my baby. In 2007, I had her painted metallic pink and blue with metal flake. We went to our first car show, Trans Am Nationals, and won 2 trophies! The Dayton Aviation Award and 2nd Place for 1982-92 Firebirds. In 2009, I designed the custom interior and had it fabricated in pink and blue glitter vinyl.

I have Grundy Insurance and my car is insured for $21,000. I pay about $500/year.

There are several modifications that I've had done to her: Lambo Door Kit, Camaro Seats, 1986 Steering Wheel, 1987 Hood Bird, 1988 Trans Am GTA Aftermarket Spoiler, 1996 Trans Am Wheels (painted with metal flake), and Aftermarket CD Player and Speakers.

From 2010-2013, I won 18 more awards! Many of them are 1st Place, I also have one for Best Interior and one for Best Presentation. I was awarded Best Presentation because I dressed in pink and blue clothing to match my car. Her name is Bubblicious, by the way. All 20 trophies/plaques come with the car. Bubblicious has also been in High Performance Pontiac magazine 2 times: April 2008 and 2010 with the Trans Am Nationals coverage. She is widely known, you'll get a lot of attention!!!

The 3.1 v6 is good if you don't want to race your car. It gets better gas mileage than the v8 engine, but feel free to rebuild the engine.

Engine Work: 2005: Brakes, Idler Arm, Shocks/Struts, Serpentine Belt, 2008: Fuel Injectors, Throttle Position Sensor, Idler Air Control Valve, Heater Control Valve, O2 Sensor, Hatch Motor, Wiper Motor, Manifold Gasket, Fuel Filter, Tune Up: Distributor Cap, Rotor, Coil, Spark Plugs and wires, 2009: Alternator, 2011: New Cooling Fan, Thermostat, Ground Wire, Cooling Sensor, Fan Switch, 2013: New Tires, New Battery, Oil, Oil Filter and Air Filter Changed 1,500 miles ago.

Bubblicious has been my baby since I first bought her, but my life is going a different direction with no room for 2 cars. Whomever purchases her, take good care! Bubblicious is a great car!!

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.
