I am going to do a post of each car that I've had... and what went wrong, in the chronological order that I have owned them(in my random, "off on a tangent" style).
...
Since receiving my license 9 years ago, I have owned 16 automobiles. Some died tragic horrible deaths, some survived to another driver.... and some, well, just kind of couldn't handle what I had to give it.
Last time I checked, my DMV record was going onto a 4th page.
Here is my fifth car....
...
CAR #5: 1991 Pontiac Turbo Sunbird
.....
...So here I was with a blown turbo and the type of vacuum leak that can only be fixed by removing the engine from the car (damn GMs) so I figured (stupidly) that I would simply just go and get another car instead of putting the money into the one I have.
...
So I went out and about looking for a car and I saw this one for sale on a nice quiet October Wednesday.
I convinced the guy to give me that car straight up for the remains of my still (but barely) drivable TGP....
Well you get what you pay for....
...since I didn't know better.... And I figured it was no big deal I swapped the plates off my TGP and put them onto this car here to drive it home....
...I would then register it in the morning
Well I ended up getting some gas at a gas station the next town over from where I live, I probably go there 3 times a week. And as I was pulling out or the parking lot a cruiser pulled me over....
"your car shrunk a little today didn't it" said the officer
"huh" I said
"it says these plates belong to a Grand Prix, this is a sunbird, boy." was his reply...
I then explained how I didn't know that it was wrong, beings I had the title in hand and a bill of sale and the old registration and was going to bring it the 8 miles to my house till I can register it the next day.....
He simply said "call a tow truck...."
And he proceeded to take my plates off the car
He then told me that I could have them back once I register it and can show him.
Well it cost me the rest of the money I had to pay the tow truck guy and I had to wait till I could afford to register it.... 5 days passed, and I was able to get the money to register it... I b lined to the DMV and got the thing registered then went to the police station... they weren't open... who the fuck closes a police station??!!!?? Stupid small towns......
I called the police number, found out that he wouldn't be in till Thursday and he was the only one that knew where the plates were(??!!??).... So I had to wait another 3 fucking days!!!!!!!!!!
Well Thursday rolled along and I went to the police station... the officer was not in then... so I decided to wait...3 hours.... Till he came in... he glanced at my registration and handed me the plates.
...
..and now I have a "misuse of plates" on my driving record
...ass
..sure I had it coming but still
...ass
...
...So now after a good solid 9 days I was able to use my car. I took it to the movies, then through a drive through, toted my friends to the mall... that was the next day..... Then on Saturday....everything hit the fan.....
We were going to do the annual tradition....
King Richard's Faire in Carver MA....
Every year we dress up all medieval and go down to the fair as a kind of birthday tradition of mine.... So frank, myself, and my ex climbed in and started to head down it was going pretty good for a whole 18 miles......
I was approaching a stop light that was red so I proceeded to slow down to stop. The light then turned green before I got below 20 mph so I started to speed up again.....
...just about when the car hit 30mph......... "CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK....."
...WTF was that?
"...CLICK CLICK CLICK....KAFUCKING BLAMMO!!!!"
...and that's all she wrote......
"That was metal, I felt it under my feet, you better pull over" said frank
"I don't have a choice" I said
...and the car simply rolled gently into a little turn around spot on the side of the road and stopped perfectly in the parking spot there.
....we got out.....did I mention we were dressed like idiots?.......
We looked around the car only to find a 50 foot trail of oil leading up the road... as I followed it I was finding chunks...yes CHUNKS of metal in the road... a piece of connecting rod... a piece of oil pan.... Some more connecting rod.... ...boy I shoulda given it an oil change....
...shit...
...this trip was over.....
Car #5 had the shortest lifespan of all of a whole 11 days.
So we walked the ¼ mile to the gas station where I proceeded to call my girlfriend's brother... he came and got us and we loaded the weapons into his car and ventured home....
...well we were gonna go medieval that day and nothing was gonna stop us....
Making the most of the situation we decided to take a mess of photos to try to forget about the shit that happened earlier that day....
.... The car spent 5 months in my front yard, hunter even decided to paint the grill.... With so much paint that after 3 months it was still tacky...almost like "Nerf" to the touch....
I wanted to get a new engine for it but I then found out that this car was limited production and less than 1000 existed with the 2.0 turbo engine. I convinced a kid I worked with to buy it from me for $800 bucks he's had it 8 years almost and it still has no engine.....
Oh well I basically lost 1200 bucks on 2 super rare cars
...fucking Pontiac...I will never drive you again!

I am torn when it comes to you, on the one hand its almost like you are a caricature of a dork, you seem to have all the normal dork tendencies . You take a certain amount of pride in your crap flashy cars that inevitably die, your willingness to change your first name so a girl with touch your penis, dressing up in costumes and play fighting your friends while documenting it, and last but definitely not least your love of renaissance fairs. For all that I have to tip my hat to you.

Why don't you buy a sensible car? That, by the way, is the worst kilt outfit I've ever seen.
