Thirdgen Transam Vert on Horsepower TV
I didn't catch the entire show, but I thought everyone would be interested to know that these guys were working on a 91 or 92 Transam vert the other day. I thought that it was about time we started getting some respect. The car was a nice one, and I can't wait for the episode to come back on so I can see the entire thing. This was the exact same car as my TA, how cool is that?

Was it this one?



So this weekend was really weird...

Watching the Bulldog game on Saturday. There is a Pennzoil commercial for "Max Life" oil. The car in the add is a red '91 FIrebird Convertible.

Weird.

Sunday, the following day. Driving around in Walnut Creek, CA I see another '91 ragtop in red bit this one's got some uber-bling wheels on it. Still... another '91 vert!

I was gonna jump on Ebay real quick after the Pennzoil commerical and try to sell mine for 10K and list it "As seen on TV"...

Then I sobered up.
