Thanks...

Its a 92 only color. 92's in general don't show up very often. I passed a Polo Green RS convertible the other day, thought about chasing the guy down to compare notes, but then again there's just something about rolling up to a nice car in my beater and saying I've got a nice car at home in the garage...

Her son rolled her sweet Trans Am. It had like 42000 miles on it. I know her son personally, he cant handle power besides the fact hes an idiot. So she went and picked this one up a couple of years ago for 4200 I believe. And no her son cant even look at it.

It makes me wonder, everytime when someone talks about a thirdgen being rolled. How can anyone be so stupid to roll a car with a center of gravity as low as a thirdgen?

green is of the rarest; green and purple were both offered for a limited time. it's a sharp color though.

green an purple were of the rarest for the 25th editions, i believe they were offered at different times as well. but i could be wrong on that point.

Crushed???? What the hell happened to the poor thing??

Yeah, I've heard stories about rolled third gens too. To me, the only way to roll one is to careen off an embankment. I agree...how does a car with such a low cg get rolled???
