Default Sad to see the owner treat this tram am .

I was on my way to bass pro shop, saw this 98-2002 trans am yellow with black strike. this look like one of those collector edition.

car is dirty as hell.
running spare tire on the rear
front bumper crack up so bad.
he park so close to the side walk that the wheel is scratch up.
I take a peak inside, it dirty and full of trash, alot payper and mail is on the dash.
it look so bad, I dont want take a picture on my iphone.



Uploaded with ImageShack.us is that collector edition ? cause that trans am have same color and wheel like this.
I alway wish I have a trans am ls1 car, if I have this I would treat it better. he or she dont know how lucky they are. I hope he or she changing the oil and filter.

Plenty of people out there that would drive a ferrari into the dirt like that let alone a pontiac. To some people a car is a car and thats it, not meant for any care or special treatment. Sad to see for car people like us but its how some are.

I feel you! Sad, sad day. To some people "it's just a car". To most of us, it's a little something more than "just a car".

My cars get wiped down everytime i take them out and usally waxed once a month if i drive them or not forget about leaving them dirty.Even my truck that i have to leave outside gets cleaned all the time.That just makes me sickThat is a 35th ann.car which that car new was like $42,000 or more depending on the option's so that makes it even worse.

AT least hes using it for what it was intended. Getting from point a to b, and it is just a car, just because YOU choose to see more in the vehicle you own does notmean everyone is obligued to.

And i also agree with billymz28

It could be a Geo Metro and it still doesnt matter. Neglecting a car like that is like not washing your *** everyday. People should take pride in there belongings no matter what monetary values they may have. What do you think his room would look like? What about his own persona?

Guys your forgetting its tough times and people have lost ALOT!.

The trash, paper, and mail on the dash sounds like owner maybe living out of the car.

Maybe after loosing everything, he rather give up a home than his CETA.

Just saying , theres always 2 sides of a story.

I take care of my car and do all the regular maintenance and clean it on a regular basis but at the end of the day its just a car, and at least he is driving it which is what it was it was built for. I usually wash my car 1-2 times a week but the reason why I continue to wash it is because its my DD so guess what... It gets dirty from being used.

this is the truth.. i work for an insurance auto auction and you WOULD NOT believe the stuff people have in their cars and the way they treat them. We've had a few fbodies and vettes come in covered with trash and burn holes, carpet ruined, sex toys, condoms, spilled beer.. the list goes on and on. Some people are just nasty.

this is true too. Not trying to stereotype but you can usually tell alot about someone or their life/lifestyle by whats in their cars.

Thats true but IMO there is a difference between having a messy car for a while and a dirty car. During the week sometimes when Im going back and forth between school and work ill have some books, papers, etc. laying around and clean it up when I have time. Opposed to having food trash, bottles, wrappers, and other stuff that could start to smell or rot after a while. So there are times I would consider my car a little messy b/c its my DD, but I dont eat or drink in it so its not dirty.
