Default Another new guy

Hello everyone.

As my handle suggests I have a '78 Trans Am and an 01 V6 Firebird, both black. I had a '73 4 speed Brewster Green Trans Am until Hurricane Katrina came and took her from me.

Women, am I right?

Anyway, the '78 is obviously a toy while the '01 is getting heavy use as a daily driver. I bought it in October of '14 with exactly 100K miles on it and with a 125 mile daily commute in August of '16 I'm north of 164K miles. I've been gleaning info from this forum since buying the '01 so I thought it was time to register to say hello and thanks for the info.

Don
