Default new guy here!

hello everyone, new here from Pekin, IL! i just traded my 2006 chevy cobalt SS S/C on friday for a 1998 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with a 6.0L swap in it and a few other goodies on it. So far I'm really liking this car except the snow covered roads we have here that the car hates.

i only have one pic that i have taken of the car.


i have a few from the previous owner as well.

Hey welcome from cissna park, il!! so far you're the closest person i've seen on here aside from chicago and the burbs! Looks like a clean TA and could have easily been someone from on here who owned it judging by all that's been done to it! Know if that's the case? Any plans for the car or are you going to enjoy it as it sits?

Yeah I traded my 06 cobalt to tspence45 I do believe his screen name is. I just plan on getting the fuel issue worked out(runs real rich) by probably getting a good tune in it and just working some small bugs out right now. Like adjusting the e-brake, getting a good stereo system in it Cuze the cd player doesn't work, and it has a small exhaust leak. Also will need a good set of tires next summer too
