    Today on the 9th of march marks the day of my best friends death. Seen below is "Otto" the 2001 GTP, Who over the past year and a half has become a best bro, a better friend than most people that i know. Always been there for me, for all the fun times and the bad times. Never has failed me until now. The one and only awesome Otto, is suffering a severe case of "****ty gm trans" and what had started out as a mild issue has rendered him un-drivable. I had to limp him home and push his hearts limits as part of him is severely injured. Please pray for his full recovery and in the mean time enjoy some pictures of one of the most awesome things that has been part of my life.

    I'd say its more of a stroke.. with enough surgery you should be able to get otto on the road to recovery.

    Is Otto pushing heavier wheels? GM didn't break the trans...Otto's bestest buddy's right foot likely helped it croak.

    As for the recovery...... it's an afternoon to see Otto back up and kicking.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Good luck bud! that was rather touching. Needs to be made in to a movie: "Otto: A story of a boy, his car, and overwhelming odds" Staring Morgan Freeman as Otto.

    C'mon....it's an afternoon.

    Seems to me that you are failing Otto by writing this before helping your best buddy. Friends should bring each other to the ER when needed.
