Looks like a fast Formula. In the last week of August the Trans Am Nationals is held in Dayton. They normally have about 400 Firebirds. Check it out and congratulations on the new car!

Am I seeing things, or do you have two fog lights on each side? I bet that looks petty sweet at night. Nice bird man.

The outer lights are the fog lights. The inner lights are the yellow running lights/turn signals.
