    Mid Life Crisis

    So I'm driving down the freeway minding my own business when a car dealer has this on the front row!





    So on the way back I go into just drool and the saleman asks if I want to test drive it? 2002 Trans Am WS6 ram Air with 29K miles... So we are heading to freeway and I ask him are these fast? He says "Oh Yeah, hit it when you get on the freeway!" I think to myself... he's not real brite now is he? But he was right, it is very fast! he asked me to slow down a little at 110...

    So how am I going to tell the wife I want a new car?

    LT1 and tranny is sold, half the parts of wrecked Roadmaster are sold, complete Caprice Wagon with spun bearing is pending sale.

    Trans Am was Auto, supposed to be stock and with traction control button off spun tires shifting to second gear, was a late year production and had the LS6 block, never advertised... nice but doubt I'd ever spend that kind of money on a car as much as I want it...

    But am looking for a car, just loosing intrest in big projects, kid has taken over shop with paying jobs. Should have seen the look on my sons face when car salesman went into Oreillys Auto Parts and asked my son to come out and check my error codes! I opened the tinted window and told him his rent was going up so I could make payments on car!

    Was fun day!
