Hi from Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg

[kentucky yeti]

We left Kentucky this morning. Drove the old ‘77 Trans Am. Once again, it did fine. I’m always happy when it makes a trip without issues!

I have questions......

#1. Was there a Woman named Frog in the passenger seat?
#2. Were you blocking for a 18 wheeler driven by a country music star with a dog named Fred?
#3. Were you being chased by a topless cruiser with a fat Sheriff and a dork in a tuxedo?

Great area enjoy!

My wife is as big a S&TB fan as I am.

Saw two TSP cruisers. They both passed me lol

I just stopped and took this pic.

Love that car!.....a friend of mine I played football with in high school was being wooed by many a Div 1 school..........he suddenly had a brand new 1981 Trans AM.....when asked how he got that.....he smiled and said y'all will know shortly......on signing day he put on a University of Va hat......that was a fun ride that summer up and down Ocean Highway in Ocean City MD....

Leaving for CRUISIN the Coast in the morning in the 70 Chevelle. This makes 16 times. We stay at KEESLER AFB. in Biloxi. Praying we have a safe trip.

I have 2 back stories: Wife and I spent a few days in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge last year. Crazy with people and too much tourist stuff.
I wanted to drive my '81 Turbo Trans Am Limited Edition, but it was stolen back in '91 so I used insurance money to pay for the wedding.
I'm asked if it was a fair trade; still married 32 years later so, YES, I miss the car! Still have a set of keys.

Every time I see a Trans Am I think how stupid GM was to kill the brand.

It’s pretty quiet here this week. Easy to drive anywhere. But we mostly drive through the Park anyway

Eating Indian tacos in Cherokee, NC currently.

Had a bear cross the road right in front of us yesterday. Today, they were out in force. A decent sow, and a sow with a cub in a field.

Tell them they need to invite all their PA kin down there for a long vacation........

I applaud your driving of the bird from W. Ky. to E. Tn. Use them, ya don't have to abuse them. So many examples around here or locals driving their muscle cars to the annual rod run at a bout 30 mph. So worried they might hit a bug. Yeah, they are scarce & expensive, but when does the enjoyment factor become a worry?

A bug might improve mine. It is unrestored- aka bad paint, faded decals and a few rust bubbles.

Nothing wrong with a car showing a little age.....just like us it happens.....in fact a few things have faded on me and I leak now and then.....

And home. Car did great, averaging right at 15 mpg. Not bad, in my opinion, for a 400 cubic inch 45 year old engine with a factory 4-bbl Quadrajet carb.
