  1. Wanted to buy one when they first came out. But since I was forced into early retirement last August (Health issues. Doctors orders) I've become more frugal. Either fill up one of my Pontiacs so I can have some fun or put a shirt on my back. There is really no choice there. The gas always wins out. LOL
  2. I don't buy white. With our hard water they don't stay white for very long.
  3. Like them both. LOVE the top one!
  4. I love it!!!!!!!! I would buy one and so would my Sister.
  5. Actually it takes a lot to piss me off but very little for the smart ass in me to surface. LOL!
  6. Reminds me of the time my (now ex) neighbor yelled at me from his front porch about my loud car (Phoenix) I had arrived home, parked at the entrance to my metal garage, got out and took a couple pictures of Phoenix. About that time my neighbor, whose porch faces the entrance to my garage, stepped out and yelled..."YOU THINK THAT THING COULD BE ANY LOUDER??????". Big mistake, challenge accept. Without saying a word I got back in Phoenix, drove into the garage...now mind you this is a metal garage with no insulation or sound dampeners and the opening faced his porch...revved Phoenix really loud about three or four times, turned him off and then calmly got out and walked to towards my house. LOL! Photo: Garages. Phoenix's on the right. KITT's on the left. Photo taken on by me on his porch while he was away. LOL
  7. Who...me? LOL! Gads! I'm a Army brat and married a Marine.Nothing could melt MY ears. LOL
  8. In my community. LOL! Ummm...errr....all guys and certain women like boobs. If I wore something like that...people would think I was suddenly one of those certain women! ROTF!
  9. I always wanted an early 3rd gen Trans Am. But life always got in the way. Then I met and married the love of my life in 1986. And the idea of buying one just went away. My husband was my best friend, my buddy, and we both loved classic cars and car shows. When he became disabled, I became his caregiver. I did this for 10 years until the VA caused his death. Then I represented him post mortem through the entire malpractice suit. When I got the settlement, I thought long and hard about what I wanted to do with it. I knew I wanted to invest some of it of course, but I also wanted to buy something special for myself. So I bought and restored Phoenix (and later...KITT). The day after I had made the final decision to buy Phoenix and have the car shipped to me, I went out for dinner at a Thai restaurant that my husband and I always frequented. When I opened my fortune cookie I about fell out of my chair at what the fortune said (pictured below). Still to this day I believe it was a message from my late husband.
  10. Unfortunately if there ends up being a cute chick on the shirt I would not be buying it. It would send the wrong message where I live. LOL
  11. I am no graphics designer but I am a Pontiac T-shirt buyer. I will buy two once they are available. One for my sister and one for me.
  12. Here is my 1984 Trans Am with rare W62 Aero Package. This car was also featured in a national magazine. My car's name is Phoenix. Sussie Due
  13. In Oregon Slingshots are motorcycles and are street legal. There are a few around here.
  14. I would be interested in the dart design.
  15. The very first thing I do to a new vehicle is take it to my mechanic for a major tune up, which also includes draining out all oils and transmission fluids and replacing them with synthetics. Then I also have bearings repacked with synthetics. Then I go from there.
  16. I don't blame you. I was trained to use them in Shop in High School. But I never did like it. I know that people use them for years without issue, then there is the other side of the coin, the horror stories. The money? Well I have been in that same situation over and over through the years. Should I risk doing something, or should I fork out the money and go the safer route? That's when a little voice pops into my head and says... "How much is your life worth?" Momma didn't raise no Dummy.
  17. I nominate my 1984 Trans Am with t-tops (affectionately known as "Phoenix"). Automatic (700R4). All original with the exception of a 350 EFI engine put in when the original owner's daughter blew the 305. I am the second owner. Vehicle VERY well kept up. "Survivor" classification. Paint has never even been touched up.
  18. Those listed on that page are 16's. Mine are 15's. Will those center caps still fit?
  19. Attached is photos of the style of rims I have and what my center caps look like. My car came missing two of the center caps. I only need a couple more but if I have to buy a set, that's OK. First question. What style are my rims? Second question. Where can I buy those center caps?
  20. I have an all original (except the engine which was upgraded to a 350) 1984 Trans Am (photo in icon). I am the second owner. Purchased this car last month. The speedometer is accurate until it hits 50 MPH then everything starts getting faster (for lack of a better word) by 5 miles. If it says 60 you are doing 55, 65 = 60, 70 = 65, etc. How can we fix that? Thanks! Sussie
  21. Have to update this thread. I was only guessing at the miles because I could only see half the odometer. SOmething had fell down in front of it and when my mechanic got in there come to find out it was a piece of paper. (?????. Weird!) The car actually only has 22,000 on it. The previous owner is a friend of mine and he said the odometer has never rolled over. The car was not a daily driver. Just a toy for the weekends.
