Default Do you wish you had 2?

I wanted to see if anyone else was like me. I find that as I am driving around town I always stop and look at other TA's for sale. Occasionally I'll stop and look at z28's or even an ss. I guess I can't wait until I finish school because I am going to buy another TA since the General refuses to make another one.

I bought a beat up 98 Trans Am off Ebay for dirt cheap to compliment my 2002 NHRA TA (and so I wouldn't mod the 02) with the specific intention of turning it into a pure drag car.

I did...so I do. They are just different enough to drive to make it like I'm getting into a new car each time I drive the Hawk...and the 74 is a totally different animal all together (wallowing barge even with the T/A suspension option)

Now I just need a 3rd gen and a 1st gen and I can start collecting Grand Prix's and Bonnevilles

Someday. I will... someday....

That is why im not sure if I should get rid of the LT1 front clip or not.

With the way people are around here... the LT1 is a sleeper .... but turbo spool will give it away anyways.

I am very fortunate. My husband has a Camaro SS and I have a Firebird Formula. So we get best of both worlds.

Its the white cars. The black SS is a friend of ours.

I bought a 2000 WS6 when it was new, then a 2002 when it was new and had them both (at the same time) for 2+ years.....the annoying thing was that everytime I went to do a mod to one of them, I kept thinking how sweet it would be on the other car. Got tired of the double cost of modding plus the dual car payments and insurance so I sold the '00. I miss it but it isn't life-altering.

I have 2....an 02 Trans Am, WS6, and a 78 Trans Am, non-WS6. Like someone already said, two different eras, different worlds, different animals. I love them both, for different reasons. Though I do wish the 78 wasn't as in good as shape as it's in, so I wouldn't worry about hurting the value buy turning it into an autocross racer.

I'm on my third, but never had two at teh same time. I did have a '66 Le Mans while I had my 87 5.0... Must be nice to have to decide which one to drive...

No, I don't. I already have two... actually I have three if you count my GTO. And I don't share them with anyone, they're all mine.
