My Trip To Alabama for My Firebird
Well I thought I'd shar with yall in my first blog a Memory of mine from 2005, I had been wanting a Trans Am with T-tops for a while so I started lookin all over for one Ebay, auto trader and thirdgen.org, I finally got a Message from a guy in Alabama sayin he had an 89 Firebird with T-tops, only bad thing was it was a V6. I immediatly began calling him and questioning him of the car and its condition, he too wanted a Knight Rider conversion, but had bought a V8 car to do it with so this one was just sitting, Well I had decided to fly there and drive the car back because he said it was in very drivable shape, Well I bought my plane ticket and left out at 8 am after I had gotten my income tax check in, the flight was fun as hell. I had to swap planes in New Orleans so I got to meet some interesting people there, and it seemed to go on forever. When I finally got to Montgomery, AL he was waiting for me at the gate, we immediatly departed for his house to see the car, I feel in love on site the car was clean and only needed a paint job since it was faded and lost its shine, but none the less I handed him the grand he wanted for it, He asked if I planned to sleep in a motel or just drive back, I told him that all I wanted was to haul ass. So I departed after a good long conversation to fill up on petro and head Texas way, All I had to do was follow I 20 all the way home and what happens a damn 18-wheeler cut me off at the fork of I20 and I10 west, well knowing my mistake and realizing that this road would get me home too, I stopped in Louisianna to ask for directions, I swear if I had closed my eyes it could have been Jerry Reed,lol. The directions did me know good so I just kept on cruisin. I eventually made it to the Texas border where I was quickly pulled over for having no plates or stickers, I also did not know my DL were suspended due to the new surecharge law that dickhead Perry instated, So after much hassle I was set free, to be on my way, I finally made it back to I20 where I got stopped again by a State Trooper who was much more understandin about the matter, I showed him my ticket for no DL and he let me go also. I made it home and got the plates and stickers for it loving every minute of it. I had gotten my car home safe.
Sad thing is that 3 months later it is broke down and is still to this day but income tax will be here soon so it will get a new motor and tranny, but it will be a V8 this time hehe.
I also look back at my travels and from what I am told most of what I seen on I10 west is now destroyed due to the hurricane, but I tell you I would love to make the drive again nonstop just like last time. I figured it up and I had drove for 27 hours straight and had been up for around 50 hours. But it was beutiful scenery.
