Re: i walked out to my car after school....

Very sweet!


Though I do have to say I HATE that year of firebird/trans am whatever the **** they're called.

Too curvy, my faves are the 85-88ish style the one that still looks like the maros.

Re: i walked out to my car after school....

Just to correct, that's not a Trans Am. It's a base Firebird. Note the rim size, Firebird emblem on the fender and lack of hood grilles.

on the contrary, owning a 86 and a 92 bird, i like the style of the 92 much more than the earlier styles.

Re: i walked out to my car after school....

they are copycats, but i guess they got good tastes compared with you. so if it was a hot chick you should definitely drop your current girlfriend or girl interest for this chick.

Re: i walked out to my car after school....

Thats always a nice surprise isnt it? I always park next to other third gens as well, theres a lot more 4th gens around here though and sometimes I'll park next to them too, everytime I park next to one I take pics and leave a note for the owner and give him my cardomain, haha.
