Default My T/A (56k need not apply)

I'm fairly new the boards, joined a long time ago but only recently have I been active. Seems like everyones got a few pics of their cars on here so figured I'd throw some of mine up, not that its dramatically different from any other black T/A. It's mostly stock right now aside from a few appearance mods (IE: Tinted windows, painted calipers, etc) and the drilled / slotted rotors. Hasn't been waxed in over a year (I work away from home so the car mostly sits under a car cover) and it has a few chips of paint missing from the front bumper due to driving down Ft Irwin road (if you've been there you know what I'm talking about) more times then I'd care for. Still pretty clean though, here it is.







... Hi, I'm from the department of redundancy department, my car has to say trans am *twice* on the rear. My interior is going to be even worse

Lmao thats hilarious considering I'm 23 and I've never even heard of the band, but I was brought up around all sorts of aviation though and the actual "Blackbird" was always one of my favorites. So were Trans Ams, ever since I was old enough to own hot wheels. Thanks for the compliments, much appreciated. Wish I could fill in those missing paint chips though. Theres a lot more that cant be seen, a few small ones on the hood and some more on the front bumper but I'm not so great with touch up paint.
