It’s been a while since I’ve driven the TA

It’s been a while and I love driving this car. It’s not perfect but it’s been a 16yr old project lol. Maybe some day I’ll make a few laps around laguna seca. I took a few pics not the best shots.

Great looking Trans Am!

My car has been in winter hibernation since the 2nd weekend of October. The guy that owns the shop where it's stored sent me a message the other day that said... "Someone wanted to say HI" with this pic attached lol

You say that it may not be perfect. I doubt if any of them are, but yours sure looks pretty damn close in those pics. Beautiful car. Love the black wheels with the red car.

They may be made by Votland, a German company that makes quality stuff. I have a set and they are purple in color.
