Read or heard somewhere, I can't recall.

The cars' engine was so powerful,

. one tire put on a blindfold,
. and the other had his last cigarette.

if you are a fan of micro cars, or car museums, you might like

http://microcarlover.blogspot.com/ and it's new, with very little content so far, but what it has is cool! Some photos on this site are from the Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum.

I think I accidentally found Jim Wangers T/A

http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/04/some-really-nice-cars-i-dont-recall.html

is my post with several photos of it, and I just came across this http://www.justdashes.com/gto_2005.htm which shows the same car, minus the front plate. There weren't many of these made, and to see both of these with the same tires, paint, and rims, in So Cal, is more than coincidence I believe

Umm, the reason it's cool that it's likely Jim Wangers' car is that he is an icon of Pontiac muscle cars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_GTO
