FrankensteinChick

I started out my life as a tomboy. As a small child in my sunday school dress i remember helping my dad install new floor pans in his gt37. Those small memories lead me on to love Pontiac. In my late 20’s i became an alcoholic. By my 30’s i was a drug addict, suicidal and in an abusive relationship. I had nothing left to fight for. Then one day i did a google search and found a lemans that really stood out to me. I was living off an injury settlement which was diminishing by the day and took the gamble and called the seller. The listing said the car was in Long Island New York. I live in Pennsylvania and at the time had no drivers license or car of my own. I had no way to get to the car. To me it didnt matter I would find a way. I then found out the owner of the car had her stored in the Poconos. Which was only 60 miles away from me. After begging my step dad, he agreed to take me. April 16, 2019 i was handed the title to my very own 1970 Pontiac LeMans Sport. That day set in a chain of events that changed my life. February 28, 2020 is my recovery date. It took some time but with hard work, My car (Frankenstein) and myself are on the path of recovery. We both have a long way to go, but with determination and patience we will both come out stronger. She taught me a lot about myself and I owe my life to restoring her. She gave me purpose when I had none. She gave me a reason to live again and i gave her life again. We’re connected in so many ways. Since buying my car, I’ve met so many incredible people. Who have all excepted me. They’ve all heard my story and congratulate me. However the real goal is to see her once again completed and legal. As I am now, legal to drive. I now have my drivers license, sobriety, and a good life. Now my car and myself are advocates for the AFSP (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.) We do car shows with the foundation and tell our story to help raise money for the foundation. The next show is June 12, 2022 in Massapequa, NY @ Sunrise Mall. Also, I’m planning on having her attend this years Pontiac Nationals in Ohio. I hope to see everyone there!
