Those of us lucky enough to be around in the 70s when this fantastic car came out drool every time we think of it.我们这些幸运地周围的70多岁时，这个梦幻般的汽车出来流口水每一次我们把它。 Imagine getting a car from the factory with a 455 cubic inch engine in it!This car kicked butt!想象一下，让汽车从工厂有455立方英寸引擎吧！这车踢屁股！ Then if you did some work, like we did to ours, as in having the engine blue printed, balanced and a lot more, it did even better.然后，如果您做了一些工作，就像我们没有与我们一样，有发动机的蓝色印刷的，平衡的和更多的，但更加美好。 Let's just say it was doing much better then one horsepower per cubic inch!让我们只说这是好得多然后做一个马力每立方英寸！
This was the era of Smokey and the Bandit movies.这是时代的熊和强盗的电影。 Good ole boy Burt Reynolds drove a black Trans Am in the movie and everyone and his uncle all of a sudden wanted one.良好的OLE男孩伯特雷诺兹将一个黑色跨时，在电影，每个人都和他的舅舅突然想一个。 Of course, by that time the ones they were selling were watered down versions with no where near the power of the original ones.当然，当时他们的销售是淡化版本没有在附近的权力，原来的。
Since we're not sure of the statute of limitations, let's just say that any stories are assumed to start "Once Upon A Time".因为我们不能确定的法定时效，让我们只想说，任何的故事被假定为启动“黄飞鸿” 。
One of our favorite stories is when we eere getting onto Sunrise Highway late one evening and a Camaro rolled up next to us and started revving his engine, well you can imagine the rest.我们的一个最喜欢的故事是，当我们eere越来越日出高速公路上月底一个晚上和一个卡玛洛卷起明年开始，我们和他的引擎转速，也可以想像了。
Here was a poor soul who had not a clue of what was in store.这里是一个可怜的灵魂谁没有一个线索是什么商店。 Since we do not believe in street racing, it was a good thing we were both going onto the entrance ramp.因为我们不相信在街头竞速，这是一件好事，我们都将进入入口坡道。 Once we were satisfied that no one was on the parkway at that time of night, we let the Beast Out To Play.一旦我们确信，没有人在大街上，当时的夜晚，我们让野兽出去玩。 We never did see any more then his fading headlights.我们从来没有看到任何超过他的衰落头灯。
One of the funniest moments was when we lived in upstate NY and my husband went to the store to pick something up and this guy in a Mustang 2 pulled up next to him and my husband had some fun(hey, we are all entitled sometimes).一个有趣的时刻是，当我们住在纽约州和我的丈夫去商店挑选了这个家伙在一个野马2退出明年他和我的丈夫了一些有趣的（嘿，我们都有权有时） 。 As Chuck tells it: You see at that time a local car dealer was running a TV spot featuring a Mustang 2 just destroying a Trans Am.正如查告诉它：你看，当时当地的汽车经销商是运行一个电视广告具有野马2只摧毁一个跨时。 So this gentleman pulls up next to me, gunning his engine for all he's worth.因此，这位先生拉明年对我来说，球场上他的引擎，他的价值。 The light changes, he chirps his tires and flashes me a big grin as he takes off.鉴于变化，他啾他的轮胎和闪烁我大笑着，他起飞。 Well, I idle away from the light,give it just enough gas in first to pull even with him, then drop the hammer, lighting up both tires, throw second, light them up again and then ease off.嗯，我闲置远离轻，赋予它足够天然气首先拉动甚至与他，然后下拉锤子，照亮了两个轮胎，投掷第二，根据他们再次然后缓解。 Drive down the road to the store.压低道商店。
When I come out of the store this guy has finally got there and is waiting for me and says, "but the commercial says Mustangs will beat the pants off the Trans Am."当我走出商店这个家伙终于出现，是等着我说， “但商业说，野马将击败裤子了跨时。 ” I very blithely replied, "Not this Trans Am!"我非常愉快地回答说： “这不是反点！ ”
They don't make them like this anymore.他们没有让他们这样了。 It's sad when you think about it!这是可悲的当你想想看！ Those of us who lived and grew up in the era of the muscle cars, street rods, Saturday night cruise nights were very,very lucky.谁对我们这些生活和成长的时代的肌肉车，街棒，周六晚上夜巡航导弹是非常，非常幸运。 I feel sorry for the youth of today that they missed out on all of this.我感到抱歉今天的青年，他们错过了这一切。
So what happened to that great 455 Trans Am, unfortunately the harsh upstate NY winters aren'tkind to cars and rust took the Trans Am from us.因此，发生了什么事这一伟大的455横贯我，不幸的是严酷的冬天aren'tkind纽约州北部的汽车和锈了横贯是从我们。 However, we did replace it - with a customized 1973 Vette, which we drove cross country to California, but that's a whole nother story!然而，我们没有取代它- 1973年同一个定制克尔维特，我们开车横跨加州国，但这是一个整体nother故事！
