in 99 I wanted a 30th Anniversary T/A because I always wanted to own some kind of Special Edition Firebird. Well I couldn't locate one and ended up getting a Base model Trans Am.

Until 2002 when I fulfilled my dream of buying a brand new Special Edition Trans Am...and the LAST Special Edition Trans Am to boot!

I'm so very pleased with what I have...I still look at it everyday as I walk away from it and say, "Dayum you is one fine car!" haha

I went to buy a Red Camaro, and ended up getting the Pewter Metallic 'bird.

Buying a "plain" car allows you to add items that you want as you can afford them. Plus, that's what this hobby is all about......tinkering and doing what you love to your ride.

Wanted a 2000 black WS.6, bought a 92 GTA than a 96 T/A and now I'm saving for the WS.6 so I can get it this summer as soon as I'm out of college. That will be a sweet day.

I am very happy with the car I bought. I wanted a camaro SS I really wasn't picky with color I just wanted a CLEAN car all stock so I could do my own mods. Did many months of searching and it paid off...no regrets!

i got my Z28 because it was really low miles (25K in 6/04) and was a stock 1LE that I was able to pick up for around 9k, so I couldnt be to picky. If I could have any fbody for a similar price and miles i would get a SOM WS6 or SS, had to be an M6 tho.

I always wanted a WS6 and ended up buying a 98 T/A. The color I bought mine in didn't have the ws6 option but the rarity of the color outweighed the ws6 package so I bought it. Then I bought the hood. Now its just a matter of painting the hood and having it look exactly how I wanted
