Pics before storage

Took these the other night after a short ride, may get a few more rides this weekend but probably about it for the year. Been so nice to drive since I got it running right, gonna miss it over the winter.

Thank you! I appreciate the compliment! I do get a lot of compliments on the color, it's the factory color but originally the ground fx were silver, I prefer it this way.

Different world up north. Down here in Texas we get maybe 4 weeks of cold weather.

But climate change has changed that imo the last few years.

BTW nice bird.

Beautiful Pontiac! I only put mine up in the South Ms winter because I like deer hunting more than I do cars that time of year. We can drive em year round.

Great looking TA, Kincer. The deep blue, including on the ground effects, really gives it a unique look in my opinion compared to the two-tone with silver ground effects like I have. Those 17" rims area awesome. I'd like to upgrade mine someday.

I know what you mean about missing it over the winter. I will be putting mine in storage in a few weeks for hibernation as the weather is getting colder here is south central Wisconsin; however, in the Spring, it's a great feeling all over again to get it out.

Enjoy the ride!
