January 2016 COTM **Winner**


Congratulations w_mcvicker! You are 2016's first TGO Car of the Month winner!

What a close contest too. Once again, Polo Z03 is beat out by just a single vote - and z28_AJ wasn't far behind either. But in the end, once again, the 1989 Turbo Trans Am is the King of the Special Editions. And this may very well be the ultimate example of a low mileage TTA.











Its a TTA. Its got like 72 miles on it.
There's a rumor that it has like a scuff mark on the heat shroud or something, so...I don't think I would want it.
