3rd Gen POV

With summertime driving season upon us I thought It would be cool to see where and when you all take the cars, on what roads in your neck of the woods. Through the windshield just like you see it. Your "point of veiw". While sitting at a stop device or if you are slowly moving snap a shot or so through the windshield with a brief description and post them up. Please be safe about this if you shot when driving
Please just post pics, no vids,


Here in SoFlo we have to drive in the mornings and evenings, it is sizzlin out there during the day this time of year! I went for a cruise by the beach Jupiter Island style! took the 2 lane US-1 to the side tree lined road that leads to Jupiter Island. I stopped by Tiger's place on the way!











This shot was from above the windshield heading to Tiger's!

Even if you can't find it, the year's still young. Plenty of time left to take a new one

This past Sunday...I believe it was the last time the car will see the sun this year.

My buddy (grey Camaro ahead of me) and I went for one last tour before the snow flies.

Are those the base firebird wheels, or aftermarket? Never seen them on a TA, but I think they look great!

The Pontiac Rallye II wheels. Great looking wheel imo and I think they look great on this one. I have an original set of 15x7’s I’ve thought about putting on my 88 Trans Am at some point. Of course I wouldn’t mind having a set of 17” reproductions either lol.

And all all the other shots everyone has posted are awesome. Great being able to see the roads and countrysides from behind the wheel of such awesome machines!

Re: 3rd Gen POV

When Eddie Money passed away I took a ride up 1A through Hampton Beach to North Hampton listening to his greatest hits in the IROC... the significance was the first time I ever sat in an IROC it was my friend’s flame red/gold 1987 5.7L with red 87 custom (diagonal stitched) interior. He had the vanillaroma tree hanging from the mirror and Eddie Money’s greatest hits cassette in his Alpine tape deck playing “Two Tickets to Paradise”...

Pulled over and snapped this photo while “Two Tickets” came on driving up the coast...

Not much of a picture I know, but I thought of this thread as I was crossing the bridge heading back to my house on Hilton Head Island and just pointed my phone towards the water.

Took this one Turkey Day morning. It was about 65 degrees out with low humidity and not a cloud in the sky. On my way I had to find Blue Sky by The Allman Brothers and que it up! I too like IROCvert like to match my songs while driving.

Re: 3rd Gen POV

The weather here in sunny SoFlo has been nothing short of beautiful. Been driving the gas right out of the tank lately. This is one of my favorites roads as it has 3 large roundabouts where on the right time of day you can realy test the handling of the car.

It can be. The actual official day is a parking lot. I did it once, but probably never will again. But the whole week before is a lot of fun. My photo is from Thursday IIRC.
