A very cool Trans-Am

My buddy Les is one of the Geezers.    He’s a cool guy with some cool toys, and here’s one of them…

It is, of course, a Pontiac Trans-Am, quite similar to the one Burt Reynolds piloted in Smokey and the Bandit.   This one was the top of the line in its day, with a 455-cubin-inch V8, the shaker hood scoop, and the wild graphics.   I’m not sure Les’s car is stock with regard to the graphics…I remember a huge garish decal of a giant bird covering most of the hood.   I like the graphics on this car a lot better.

I only had my iPhone with me when I had lunch with the Geezers on Wednesday, but you get the idea.   It’s quite a car, and I’m pretty sure when Les starts the Firebird it registers on the Richter scale.   In fact, I may get over and have lunch with the Geezers again today…it’s part of the Saturday ritual, and maybe I’ll bring the Nikon with me this time.

Stay tuned!
