My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way is using his band's website to buy a new car.

The singer originally began his quest on Twitter explaining that he was looking for a "1979 Pontiac Trans Am" and was open to offers.

He then stepped things up on Mychemicalromance.com/, detailing the kinds of vehicle he is after.

"Some of you, who have seen my Twitter about wanting a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am, may be asking yourselves, "Is this for real?" he wrote. "And my answer to you is one-hundred percent MFR ('Mad Fucking Real' for short).
Some of you may be asking, 'Why?', so I provided this photograph to answer your questions, and if you need further persuasion- Quite simply, I need the vehicle for 'research and exploration'.

"I will be researching the high-voltage hydra known as the 9th dimension , I will be exploring the barriers of speed and time, the history of heavy-metal haircuts, and the 24-Hr rest-stop cappuccino. I will be chasing the 'electric-manticore', and unlocking the riddle of 'Muscle Mystery' in this muscle-machine, and it will most likely occur in the desert.

"Now that I've assuaged your curiosity, here's what I'm looking for, more or less, and some might think I'm picky, but I think you should be picky when looking for such an important piece of scientific equipment."

Way then detailed what he's after, explaining that although his dad was a mechanic, he does not know that much about cars himself.

"I would like 'the fast engine' to show you how much I know about cars," he said. "I want it to run, run well, and have no rust. Oh and it needs to be an automatic, as I can't drive stick (surprise!)."

Ideally the singer is after a silver car, but will consider blue, black and "Shitty bombed-out Red/Orange".

He concluded by stating: "No scams or hustles. I won't have cash on me, and I'm not important enough to kidnap, but if you've got the right car and the right 'vibe' I can find us someone important enough to kidnap together- IN-THE-CAR-YOU-JUST-SOLD-ME. Like, for example, the Jonas Brothers. I have been on TV and I have access. You bring the 'bird- I'm bringing 'British Steel' by Judas Priest."
