The Joy of the Tiny Turbo Trans Am

This photo is of a Jalopnik reader. We shall not mention who, but as a child, he was obviously sucked in by the superficial radness of the Turbo Trans Am. Admittedly, we were too in the day, because if a Trans Am is good, one with a turbocharger is naturally better. Sadly, this was not the case, and this poor pedal-powered version of the worst of the 2nd Gen TAs fell off the back of the car on a family trip. Said Jalopnik reader says he still misses it. Perversely, we do, too. We still wish we had our General Lee big wheel.
