Default Reintroduction from Junior98!

I've been a tech member for 5 years or so but after selling my first T/A a few years back I quit viewing the site. Fast forward to late 2016 and I'm finally back in another fourth gen. I had a lot of cars between my first T/A and the one I have now, some very good cars at that. A lot has changed since that first Trans Am; graduated college, got a "career" worthy job, moved across the country twice, and got married. I just never could shake wanting another.

While living in Colorado and being bored and browsing Cars.com I stumbled across a 1999 Black 6-speed WS6 with 72,000 miles. I thought "couldn't hurt to look"...fast forward 5 hours I was holding the keys to my second Trans Am. It definitely was an impulse buy but given the overall condition of the car I couldn't say no. While not perfect it was right in all the places these cars usually show their age the worst; showroom quality interior, no leaks, didn't appear to be "crooked" anywhere, and was only modded with a lid and some different exhaust tips. Call me crazy but my dream was to find a mostly stock Trans Am (WS6 vs regular T/A made no difference to me as long as it had 3 pedals) that had been cared for and this one definitely fit that bill. I have big plans for this one, it will take a VERY long time, but forever cars are about the journey anyways right?

I've done exclusively cosmetic things so far:
Added an LED 3rd brake light
Installed a Magnaflow muffler with some Corsa clones
Installed some of the "Harley" LED fog lights (thank you ls1tech)


I'll quit blathering on here, just wanted to come say hello and that I'm excited to be part of Ls1Tech again!
