Default T/A owners come in!!

I know this is probably old news and there are probably a million threads on this already, but what do you guys think about those Trans Am trucking semis? I was driving home from my girlfriend's house today and passed one on the highway. I think it's kind of ironic because of the fact that Trans Am is plastered all down the side of this truck and I just so happen to be in my T/A ha ha. Thoughts and opinions welcome

I have no idea if they are related. I did see someone on here had some pics with his car next to one in a gravel pit or something like that. It was pretty cool ha ha.

Isn't there some kind of copyright infringement or whatever going on with the name?

Font isn't 100% identical, though at first glance it's close.

Someone on here had a sig pic of their 'bird parked in front of a TA trailer several years ago.

If there is any copyright infringement, it would be with the SCCA and not General Motors. $5.00 a car was the deal for usage of the Trans Am identification from '69 til the last one rolled off the line in '02.
