ok, 2:30, i JUST got home.... WHAT A NIGHT!!!!!
Heres a lil picture of what happened...
Heres a pic of my car with my laptop on the roof, thats where i was typing from hahaha...
The tow truck showed up like 15 min after i texted Kasey that message.
First thing the guy says when he gets out is "oh looky, stripes and all the bells and whistles..." he asks what broke so i tell him. he then says "lemme guess... not a GM part that broke... These car companies invest millions into their parts unlike those racing part companies..." That annoyed me right there on top of everything, mainly me sitting waiting for 2 hours. Anyways... he finally loads up the car after asking if its the same motor as a 96 impala SS, i had to explain lt1 vs ls1/ls6 only to be told ls6 was a vette motor in the early 70s, which i do know.
So by now the car is on the flatbed, and i get in the truck. He asks if i want coffee... 7-11 or dunkin... i said no thanks. He then asks if i'm a car buff. Of course i say yes, and he starts telling me about his project car, a 1968 Checker. Ok, to each their own i figure. He then says "oh, well go back to the yard, theres somethign i think youd like to see" OK, now im gettign kinda worried, lol. We start driving into haledon or paterson, i wasnt sure, back to the tow truck yard. I follow him in through the yard gates around to the back garage door and inside. I'm thinking im about the get jumped or something. I turn the corner to one side bay and my jaw dropped.. sitting in front of my was that corvette conversion "789" by N2A motors. holy crap... thats car is awesome in person, so low so sleek.. top down and all. Pictures do not do it justice. Before we left i asked if i could just take some pics with my cell phone, he said sure. It was dark so they didnt really come out, but you get the idea....
We then drove deeper into patterson by another yard so he could poitn out his Checker. After that we were finally on the way back to my house. We were flying through paterson and the whole truck was shaking. We finally got on Rt 4... doing 70mph... hes cracking all types of jokes, im just watching my car to make sure it stays on the flatbed lol...
When we finally got bakc to my house i had him just drop the car in the street and I was gonna leave it and call the police to let them know so i wouldnt get a ticket, but after he left i decided to push it into my garage myself. So now the car is tucked away and i'll get a better idea of damage tomorrow....
but all in all, it was a pretty decent night..... haha
