I Ain't Done Yet

Second Time Around

*10 days later in the late evening*

I pull into the main garage bay and park the 302 next to a car with a cover over it. Turning off the engine, I step out of the car and lean against the fender. Within seconds, Suki comes out of his office with a set of keys in his hand. When I see his huge smile it reflects into my face.

"You ready to see your Trans Am?" he asks eagerly.

"Hell yeah! Is this it?" I ask, referencing to the car with the cover on it.

"Why don't we just take a look see?" he replies and pulls the grey cover off of the car. What I see before me is the most beautiful car I have ever seen.

The totally redone 2002 Pontiac Trans Am now has a Metallic White coat with a sparkling Racing Green Phoenix on th hood. The bumpers both have carbon splitters on the front and rear along with carbon skirts in each side. The front of the car is lowered by an inch with air shocks and the rear is raised by an inch with airs shocks. All four of the stock wheels have been replaced with chrome 17" American Racing Torque rims. The front rims are thinner than the rear, and all four brakes have been replaced with large silver plated rotor's with Racing Green brake calipers. All tires have been replaced with low profile Yokohama black walled tires. The windows are all tinted Pure black to the point where you can't see in and also the tail lights are tinted black too.

"Holy fucking shit!" I say astonished.

"And you haven't even gotten to the interior yet!" Suki exclaims and opens the drivers door for me. I look inside.

A roll cage has been installed into the chassis along with both front seats being replaced with black and blue accented racing seats. The dashboard has been redone with white face and illuminated blue print Maxx Gauges. The Tachometer has been moved to the top and left of the dashboard while being replaced with a Turbo reader and Nitrogen Dioxide pressure gauge. The steering wheel has been replaced by a three spoke wheel with non-cracking grips and a chrome T-Bar Hurst shifter is in the place of the old shifter. A black with blue lighting aftermarket Panasonic stereo has replaced the stock stereo along with four Bose speakers in the sides of the car and two huge 20" subs replace the rear seat.

"These things will blow your ears out if you let it" Suki explains while pointing at the subs.

"Holy shit. Can I see the lights?" I ask.

"Sure, sure!" he replies and flips the headlights and neon on. The headlights rotate up, revealing purple accented lights that are so strong that I don't need the brights.

I look down and see the green neon illuminating the ground at my feet. Amazed, I look at the blue neon illuminating the floor boards inside the car.

"How the hell do you do all of this?" I ask.

"I guess I'm just good with cars, I'd say" he replies popping the hood and turning off all of the lights. Raising the hood I look inside to the beautiful completely rebuilt matte black 6.5L V-8 engine.

"She pushes over 400 horses at 5,200rpm and redlines at six, but can be pushed to seven. Just, I don't recommend it. She can do about 190mph in sixth and gets 22mpg. Pretty good for a huge engine that she has" Suki informs me. "Oh and don't forget. She's equipped with two 5 gallon tanks of Nitrogen Dioxide. When you press that button on the stick, she will fly! And I mean fly!"

"Oh I can't wait to see what she's got. I'm gonna take it out to race tonight after this" I say, eager to get out of here and behind the wheel.

"So you wanna face Hao's crew?" he replies.

"Yeah" I say with a smile.

"Be careful, you know that kid in the other Trans Am lost his fiancé back at home?" Suki continues.
