Just about 10 minutes ago in my apt parking lot at the front office.
"Hey, where'd you get those 22s?"
"Why's it look so new if it's a 97 "
"Because I'm the original owner"
"huh"
You have a serious vacuum leak (my lumpy cam and gutted air box)
That car isn't modded (all my engine mods are internal and have no appearance mods)
Person from Autozone, scanning my check engine light:
"This is a Grand Am... Right?"
".......Yup, Sure is.."
My car, a Grand Am? Come on, seriously?
my step mom always calls it a gpt. every time she mentions it. even while looking at the badge that says gtp.
just funny. makes me smile. i love her
My '00 ; Nice grand am!
My '04 ; Hey that's a new model of grand am? Nice!
My '00 ; Is that thing stick? No duh, the trans just bangs into gear
When i was trying to sell mine a guy pulled up in a beater SUV and his first question was how fast is it. Then he asked if he could take it for a 24 hour test drive like at the dealer. My wife then told him to leave and it wasn't for sale. Then told me when her car is paid I can keep it and buy a truck
Dumbest thing anyone's ever said about my car?
"hey, that's a nice car!"
I used to have a 02 grand am now have a 02 gpgt went to advance auto the guy that new me there asked me oh did you paint your car I said yep and I stretched it out and made it longer, put a bigger engine in it, put dual exhaust on it, and put leather seats in it, and this is coming from a guy with a very very riced out sohc 1.9 saturn who tells everybody he has nitrous but when u look at the bottle close its c02.... I'm not joking
"is that car the v8 model?" (my car is NOT debaged either -_-)
they said my car was "junk" and i said; "like your rusted out pos vw jetta with a 1.6 engine was better. LOL funniest and dumbest thing someone ever said to me. while the jetta had 95whp while my grand prix has 205 whp. haha
not to the GP, but the wagon gets **** all the time
"why do you drive that POS?"
"haha, nice grandma wagon"
"what kind of man would drive that?"
"My honda will blow that away"
Usually once I pop the hood, or start the car, people shut up.
Also, lighting both tires up in 2nd helps.
I love when people say "it's FWD it must be great in the snow" HA! a Grand Prix that's good in the snow lol right...
there is such a thing as a 4x4 that does poorly in snow, its called a ford, they have the worst 4x4 set up on earth. it still 2 wheel drive. right rear tire, and the left front. thats not a 4x4.
They can go just about anywhere. Put the proper tires on and you won't have a problem.
Hell I drove an 86 Mustang one winter and only got stuck once. That was the day I went and put winter tires on it and never had another problem the rest of the winter.
all that and a good driver. aka someone whos not scared to drive in snow lol will do ok. the yuppie dick or his wife are screwed. you know who im talking about lol
most people who have problems in snow with a 4x4 have no clue how to drive the car or truck at all with 4wd. then they think ass back wards and put it in the ditch because they forget its in 4wd and now the front end pulls, wheels turned the wrong way, and its over.
cant tell you how many times nailing the gas was a better idea then hitting the brakes for a save. and i've found my self in many 4 wheel slides going down hills in deep snow, with a plow on and a 1,000 lb on the back. your pretty helpless. last thing you want is the brakes most of the time, short of maybe stabbing them hard and letting them go, in an attempt to get it straight again.
came down a big hill once, un plowed, and iced under it, came to the stop sign, hit the brakes and got nothing, dropped the blade and threw it in reverse and floored it. i stopped 1/4 the way into traffic. yes i chit myself i bit...should have seen the passengers face lol
i got pretty good at drifting my trucks too.(in snow) in 4wd, its one crazy feeling. like i would tell every one, go play in a lot, make the car spin and try to save it, once you learn how to save it, when your car gets loose, you know what to do asap, and theres no real fear/ surprise.
