ACID FLASHBACK THURSDAY - Pontiac Firebird Esprit

I have known a few GM F-Bodies in my time:  Pod’s Trans Am, Phid’s Camaro Berlinetta.  The Firebird “Esprit” is a different sort of catch.  We thought they were cool in the ’70s, even with the automotive equivalent of a combover, the front half vinyl roof.  Not as cool as Trans As or Z-28s, mind you, more of a hot secretary kind of cool.

My 7th grade anthropology teacher, Mrs. Kuhn drove one.  This one is a ‘77; hers was a ‘74-76 version.  Van Halen was right - I had it bad for my teacher.

New car, caviar, 4 star day dream…

Think I’ll buy me a… BFC9000?

Amazing photos.  We know who’s taking delivery of this monster.

Photographed testing on public roads and highways, we think this behemoth might actually be more of a truck than a limo. With so much armor being added, it appears GM may have needed a medium-duty truck chassis like the Topkick platform. We observed the limo testing along with two regular Topkick trucks and the wheels and tires on the limo appeared to be the same size as the Topkick. The tires on the limo are Goodyear Regional RHS tires, though we couldn’t tell if they are 22.5 inch or 19.5 inch wheels. As far as powertrain, all we can say for sure is that a very large diesel was under the hood. The exhaust note coming from the back of the limo was quite similar to the medium-duty Topkick trucks.

A 35-year-old man was arrested after police found him slumped over the steering wheel of his vehicle, which had three open cans of beer and was blocking a major road, according to a report.  Mesa police found Rodriguez Martinez about 3 a.m. Sunday asleep in his vehicle, which was in the 400 block of North Mesa Drive, police said.  Martinez had urinated on himself and woke up as an officer was turning off the vehicle’s ignition, according to a report. Martinez told to the officer that he wanted a taxi to go home, according to police reports.  While speaking with police, Martinez gave several false identities, urinated on himself a second time and refused to cooperate with field-sobriety tests, according to police.  Police noticed the vehicle after two driver slammed on their brakes and to avoid hitting it.  Martinez has four prior arrests and two convictions for driving under the influence, police said.

Arizona Sucks

In out last episode, we learned that Arizona DPS is happy to misdirect you with their photo radar warnings.

It gets better.

Dear Arizona

It’s 65.  Oh wait, 55.  Snap.  Nah, I guess I meant 65 after all.  Thanks for the $181.  Enjoy the jam  from artificially induced slowing.

It’s all about safety, really.
