My GTP Journey
So let me start with a little background of my harrowing journey. A little over two years ago I was homeless, living on the streets with a very bad drug habit. Through the help of my two boys, oddly my ex wife, and a couple of great friends, I was able to initially start off by kicking my bad habit, then got off the street. Next came my first GTP. I managed to get up enough money for a "running car," and had my eye on a couple of "decent" runners, and was about to pull the trigger on what seemed like a good deal. Upon arrival and inspection, there was a reason this person had posted obscure angled pictures in their posting; that reason was to hide the missing parts and damage. Later that evening, as I was contemplating giving up on the hopes of a car, I took one last look at facebook market, and just happened upon a listing for the sweetest looking all black 2004 Grand Prix GTP CompG. The owner was asking I think close to two thousand, just outside of my budget, but cash is always king right? So I immediately contacted the seller and arranged a time right away to go look at the car that night. Just a short 40 minute jaunt outside of Austin in the hill country. Long story short, the lady I spoke with, and her son, the owner of the car, were great people. The car had a small dent on the hood, and a slightly slipping transmission. I managed to talk them down to $700 cash for an otherwise pristine and supercharged car I might add :) The car ran great, I put in a new transmission, started working for uber and lyft for a couple of months, Then it happened one rainy night on my way home from a long driving shift. I was coming through an intersection, and then all I recall is hearing what I can only relate to a shotgun blast in my left ear, spinning through the intersection to a stop right in front of the opposing oncoming traffic, luckily just before hitting anyone. As I was spinning through the intersection, and coming to the realization of what had just happened, one might think of many things like, "am I going to die, am I hurt, did I hit anyone else?" No, all I could think was FUUUCK!!, my car!!

Rag in the Gas Tank
So, back in the eighties, a contractor I knew bought a truck from the auction. He did a lot of driving in remote areas, loved his newer model truck, took good care of it, and it never gave him any problems. He had a small crew; guys came and went, but at a certain point, he ran into financial difficulties and had to lay a couple guys off. He had trouble making payroll. Eventually, he got back on track and his business expanded.

5 of the Best Ways to Trick Out Your Car
Cars and trucks are not usually personalized from factory to garage. In other words, there aren't as many unique options to add that are specific to your liking. For the most part, any options you can add from the factory are either unnoticeable, too expensive, or poor in design. This is one of the main reasons why many car owners are turning towards aftermarket ways to trick out their vehicles. As a matter of fact, there are even car competitions for people who have the best or most extravagant aftermarket additions on their cars. Known as "tricking out" your car, people can get quite overwhelmed with the many options there are to add. From shiny new rims, tinted windows, and everything else in between, people are willing to do whatever they can to make their vehicle as unique and personal to them as possible. So, with that in mind, here are five of the best ways to trick out your car.
