Quote:
We watched a marathon of the SpikeTV reality show based on the Bullrun Rally and hosted by Bill Goldberg, but weren't too terribly impressed with the premise. It seemed one needed only a decent proficiency at reading maps, as well as a lot of luck, to win. The winning team was the father/daughter duo of Mike and Morgan Alsop from Lafayette, Indiana, who took top Bullrun honors at the helm of their 2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS6. While the finale is still sitting on our TiVo, we know that the Alsops got as far as they did by making more friends than enemies, while watching their own backs at the same time. Meanwhile, their Trans Am performed flawlessly throughout the 4,800-mile rally and proved to be bulletproof, unlike the rides brought by many of their competition.
Like true Americans, father and daughter Alsop are eager to capitalize on their fifteen minutes of fame and have put the Championship Trans Am up for sale on eBay Motors. One of the Alsop's fellow Bullrunners already put his Lamborghini Murcielago up for sale on eBay, but he didn't have the decency to give the car a tune up or fix any of the damage it received from the competition. The Alsop's sent their car to a body shop immediately following the race and ordered up a new paint job, tires, suspension components and an engine tune up. So not only are you buying a hella fast Trans Am that's proven to be as reliable as the setting sun, you're also buying a car that's seen the bright lights of Hollywood and has a few stories to tell.
Thanks for the tip, Mike!

http:// at the beginning of the link.
i'd take the car just cuz its a bitchin car. but not for 27k. its cool that they won, but they beat on that car for a week straight, imagine the beating its probably taken for its 5 years of existance.
however, if she was included in the deal, i'd take it for 27k.....
GO PATS!!!
from what ive heard that car originally had a turbo on it , and she kept racing it around town , and being a teenager , her dad was given a choice detune the car or she was gonna end up locked up and car impounded
I'd take her, the car can stay....I bet she'd be a good ride though.
Everything Louder than Everything else

The car got a bunch of new aftermarket parts.
The Muricelago owner sold his car on ebay, but didn't even bother to clean or fix the junk he screwed up on the car.
what an idiot that guy is/was
GO PATS!!!
