This is a carefully maintained and enhanced Virginia Tech Hokies Tailgating car. Built in 2006 starting with a stock 2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT1 3.4L vehicle, this car is completely overhauled and enhanced to perform as the ultimate tailgating vehicle and portable audio and video entertainment system.

The buyer of the vehicle must be a dedicated and diehard Virginia Tech fan and ideally a car enthusiast capable of maintaining and enhancing the vehicle as needed.

This vehicle has had approximately $45,000 in enhancements added over the past 8 years.

The car is maroon with orange racing stripes and painted VT logos (clear coated) with two large (5') Hokie Bird stickers on each site. The rear window contains a large VT sticker. Custom made 19" chrome wheels with burnt orange lips.

The primary feature is the extremely loud sound system consisting of two sets of JL VR Crossover Speakers powered by a 450w JL 4 channel amp, two 10" JL subwoofers powered by two 300 watt JL amps, and two interior and two trunk lid speakers powered by a 300 watt JL amp.

The car is equipped with a 19" TV in the rear trunk lid with hookups for an XBOX, Satellite Dish, etc. Comes with a DirectTV receiver pre-installed and wired with an IR receiver in the trunk. A 7" in-dash LCD touch screen head unit controls the system with dual-zone front and rear audio allowing you to play music while still watching TV or playing a video game console.

The horn is a Horntones mp3 horn, complete with all fight songs and the official Gobble played in Lane Stadium (acquired from the Athletics department). 

The car has built in orange police strobe lights installed in the front and rear fog light housings and in the custom fiberglass trunk display.

Custom fiberglass work is included in the kickpanels and in the entire trunk display.

All custom features were pre-approved by the Virginia Tech Licensing Department for one time use on the vehicle.

More information on the vehicle and photos can be found at the Hokie Car Website. The domain and website can be included as a part of the sale, you will be responsible for future hosting and domain fees once transferred.

I regret having to sell this car, but I hope it lands in the right hands. It is my hope to use the proceeds from this sale to start constructing the next generation Virginia Tech tailgating car, SUV, or RV in the next few years. This is a great car for a current student or recent college graduate as a project car and as a centerpiece of one of the best tailgates on campus!

GO HOKIES!

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way

Tue, 21 Feb 2012

There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
