Rumor has it this car used to be pretty fast.. but no one has seen it recently. Did it get towed to Jimmy's uncle's basement?

OK Mr. 40# injectors, last time I checked it was in the 12.60's. What about you? Oh thats right! You haven't made it to the 12.60's yet.

I think a 12.62 might get it out of hiding.

Last time I checked I was in the 12.60's. I give up about a second with the exhaust up - that would translate into 13.60's. What about you? Oh thats right! You haven't made it to the 13's yet.

My fast car may be sitting the garage but its not broken.

You don't know if it's broken, you haven't driven it yet. It MIGHT be broken.

Mine is broken and sitting in the garage.

Hey ttamrettus how's that Chevelle? Oh that's right! Its not even near ready to go on the road yet.

I wonder if anyone has pictures of it while it was sitting at Carl's before I got it and put it back together?

I didn't mean to upset you.
I just came across this old picture and though it was funny because it related to the topic.

I'll be an equal opportunity offender.

Maybe this will make you feel better.

Hahaha.. I was getting a little chuckle from the other pic of Andy's car, and then Paul's, only to scroll down and see mine on The Flatbed.

:oops:

But I still have a 12-second timeslip from 2005. 8)

No offense taken - just equal opportunity harassment!

I was lucky there were no cameras when my 327 broke and the Trans Am went on the hook.

The way your post was written you sounded irritated.

I also seem to remember the car sitting outside next to the garage at the Bainbridge house. Or was that a parts car? I can't remember.

I was just following the same line I used on everyone else who was harassing me about not racing it this year.

I know I had the parts car sitting outside there. It was a 77 Trans Am mostly in primer. I sent it to the junkyard once I got all the parts I wanted. As I recall someone in your family bought the front frame off that car from the same junkyard for a project car (old Chevy?).

The Trans Am had to have been sitting out there too - but I can't recall.
