Grand Am Random Run in

You know how sometimes you pass a car on the road and you think.."man, that looks JUST like my old car i used to drive..". Well, I saw THE EXACT car i used to drive. Happened the other day outside of Mancino's. I was walking out of there after a nice Club Grinder and saw this white grand am and thought pretty much exactly what I wrote above.

Only, this one had a bunch of mardi gras beads hanging from the rear view mirror...one of those decals with that "T" shaped wave like symbol that i have no idea what it means, but i see it on a lot of high schoolers cars..looks like the symbol for Tulane University to me (if anyone knows or understands what i'm talkin' about please let me know..that symbol has been bugging me what the hell it is for years..i'm sure it's something hip that i'm too obtuse to realize), one of those feather bolo's in the back over the rear seat...basically it looked like it had been slutted out by a high school girl.

So, i thought.."you know, i sold this car to a lady who bought it for her highschool aged daughter about 3 years ago..." it was a vivid memory of mine as after she bought it there immediately turned out about 10 high school kids with half shirts and wife beaters on that all looked about 13 years old to me.

So, then i go closer to look at the car..and i see the fimiliar "Red Holzman" red decal sticker on the lower right hand corner of the windshield that my car had...and then i noticed the distinguishable scratch/nick on the middle of the front fender...the two things i was looking for to prove it's identity. They were the confirmation of the dental records in otherwords for me.

This was my old car.

No doubts..pretty wild. I always felt owning a white car was kinda girlish..(unlike driving a pacifica which absolutley REEKS of manliness..seriously, that car is like Helen of Troy..it attracts people from all over and can start wars)..but i felt bad for the poor car. It had been COMPLETELY Fu-Fu'd...
