Funny wedding story involving my Trans Am

**Hurley711** · 02-18-2006, 12:59 PM

Maybe not funny to all, but to me it was so here goes.......My cousin had a fancy ass greek wedding a few weeks back, black tie affair, valet parking all that fancy crap that I'm not big on. Funny part to me and my wife was after the wedding we are all waiting outside for the valets to get our cars and up come the BMWs, Mercedes and what not. I am thinking at this point

oh wow this should be neat to see the looks on everyones face when my TA comes roaring up uncivilized with the LTs and Hooker CB rumbling. Sure enough the guy who gets it is a young fella, and he is ON IT the whole way up the block

(lot was around the corner) Car is screaming, I'm smiling wifey is smilin' a little and of course a few people had the snotty "Lookin down on me" look on their faces. Well at least the valet was smiling when he got out, gave me a "Sweet TA" comment and we were on our way.

ha, hope you checked the miles on the car before and after to see how much fun he really had.

i would have been smiling just to see the looks on the other peoples faces.

I was using a Valet once in my Camaro, the car in front was a BMW, the two valet's started to argue who was going to park my car.

Come out later, and my Camaro was in front between a Vette and a Benz.

Gotta love it!

hahaha... I remember back when I had my 99.. Obnoxious sumbitch with LT headers, loudmouth and a 3500 stall converter.. At my brothers wedding there were 2 stock vettes and a few BMW's. Got the same response you got. Puts a smile on my face. Im almost willing to bet if we hold on to the F-bods long enough (especially TA's) you will get a prety penny for them 30-40 years from now.. I dont plan on selling myne, but I dont plan on keeping it stock either lol.

Sounds like what happened to Tim Allen one time when he went to an awards show. I remember a couple years ago when Car&Driver showed some of Tim Allen's car on the TV show. One car, was his 94-96 Impala SS. Had a completely built motor with cut-outs. He said that everyone was arriving at the show in their hummers and limos. And he's coming down the block in his Impala, cut-outs open and everything. Said he pulled up to the red carpet and everyone just stared. That would be a sweet entrance, lol.

1996 Tim Allen Design Chevy LT5 Impala SS
Tired of pulling up to special events in the customary limousine, Tim worked in partnership with ChevyââÃ¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚Â¬âÃ¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚Â¢s Jon Moss and Wheel to WheelââÃ¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚Â¬âÃ¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚Â¢s Jeff Beitzel to transform a 1996 Impala SS into a black, menacingly fast but also supremely comfortable one-of-a-kind ride. In addition to TimââÃ¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚Â¬âÃ¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚Â¢s exterior and interior aesthetic modifications, this SS holds a DOHC 32-valve Corvette ZR1 engine and delivers 446 hp at 5500 rpm. The rear also includes a ââÃ¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚Â¬ÅÃ¢â‚¬Å“Binford 6100ââÃ¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚Â¬ï¿½ badge. (Binford is the hypothetical tool manufacturer from Home ImprovementââÃ¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚Â¬âÃ¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚Â ¢s ââÃ¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚Â¬ÅÃ¢â‚¬Å“Tool TimeââÃ¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚Â¬ï¿½ show.)

ok, i tried 3 times to copy/paste from timallen.com and it keeps coming in hieroglyphics, so STFU about it.

Tim Allen is a huge car guy. He ranks up there with Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld as car nuts.

**Warbird** · 02-19-2006, 03:59 PM

I found the background story to the construction of the LT5 SS.

i seen that on tv a few years back with the interview and everything (I wanted one)

**Capster78** · 02-19-2006, 04:20 PM

Can you imagine running into one of these guys on the street. Ya think Jay would run from a light? Would be the awesomest kill story or death story ever lol.

**Warbird** · 02-19-2006, 04:40 PM

Just make sure he isn't in his Toronado if you race him. You might get beat, badly, lol.

**Hurley711** · 02-19-2006, 05:22 PM

Jay Leno has a car with a fucking TANK ENGINE in it. Saw it on rides before. Had ridiculus amount of torque, I believe over 1000 lbs, but it was heavy as hell
