"It's good to hear that you're back on the TA site
maintenance. It is excellent. I get all fired up perusing through it...
Although my first wife's family was involved in the local Trans Am club,
I only enjoyed the idea of owning one myself for many years. The club's
enthusiasm wore off on me and I pined away for years before I finally
bought my first Firebird. It was a 1997 3.8L V6 and I love it still. It
was a terrific transition car. I always thought of it as scary-fast and
with that long front deck, took a bit to get used to. It's white and
real looker. I kept it stock and look forward to getting a new motor for
it.
When I moved out of the city I took it upon myself to get the car I
really, really wanted. It had to be a 2001- or 2002 Trans Am with
everything! 5.7L V8, ws6 suspension, Ram-air... 10 speaker Monsoon sound
system... T-tops... THE WORKS! It took quite awhile for me to finally
find it. The local auto dealerships failed to help. I looked for about
two years. Then I found it, hundreds of miles away up North (you know
the story as told previously).
It's the best car ever and worth the wait. I'm so glad I didn't put off
getting it any longer. You only live once, and I like to do things that
make me happy and driving this car in the Mother-lode of California is
like a dream. The mountain highways where meant for TAs... sooo perfect!
Woo-Hoo! My TA is all stock and I love it! The look on my face says it
all!"
Sincerely,
