Pontiac Slogan from 83' "Time Flies when your in a Firebird"

The silver caps were available in 14" and 15" On Firebird S/E's from 82-84. (14" only in 84)

I have seen black and silver on Trans Ams.

Hey Dan,
If you go backwards, does time go backwards too?
Then again, if you do a burnout, does the time go faster on the back wheels?
