Pimped My Ride

1987 Pontiac Grand prix

That’s some Latino fire on a 12 year old car purchased off Cicero Ave. in Chi-town. I drove it down to the Big Easy for a party and then followed the coastline down to South Padre Island where I had it flamed.

Balanced & Blueprinted Chevy 350

Back home in the corn fields, dropped in a big engine built from a bare block using all performance parts. A bored Chevy 350 with forged pistons and crank, the Edelbrock Total Performance Package (matched aluminum heads, intake, cam, carb), roller rockers, hooker headers, etc.

To top it off, a 2600 watt triple amped 6 speakers computerized sound system playing mp3s. At the push of a button, I had celebrity status with 5000 songs on tap. This was back in 1999 long before Steve Jobs ever put one in your hands.

Now my little gas sipper Aveo has an in-dash factory Mp3 player.

When gas prices first went through the roof, I sold the hot rod on Ebay. That might have saved me from losing my life in this beast. It had far too much power and went way too fast.
