1996 Chevrolet Impala SS.
Due to some poor decisions, I had my license suspended for 6 months and a friend of mine ended up driving my 2000 Expedition since I couldn’t, and she started treating it like it was hers. I couldn’t stand this, so when I was able to drive again and she still hadn’t gotten her own vehicle, I wanted to get something she wouldn’t want to drive since she liked my Expy so much. This led me to trading the Expy straight up for a 96 Impala with a broken odometer. She HATED that car but I fuckin loved it. And it was MINE. I installed the 9C1 (Cop car) suspension including front and rear springs, added Edelbrock headers and installed an Infinity sound system complete with dual subs in the trunk. Even added rear door speakers since there were none and it was the cleanest install I’d ever done. I loved that car, but we were moving to Colorado, we needed a truck, and the transmission valve body needed rebuilt which I didn’t have time to do so I traded it. I’m still very sad about it but it will always be my favorite vehicle that I’d owned.
After going through way too many backpacks that just end up falling apart, I bit the bullet and bought an Aer City Pack Pro and I couldn’t be happier. It’s rugged, durable, and most importantly: it stands upright on its own!!! Every other pack I’ve had just falls right over when setting it down. I also love that I can walk through pouring rain and none of my stuff gets wet.
