Hey Everybody,

I got an 02 TA for a Christmas gift from my awesome wife and I have been lurking around here for a little while. I just joined after seeing a bunch of cool stuff listed in the market place.

great site and plan to get a lot of ideas from here! Love all the pics of the beautiful Pontiacs!

Lol, yes it was. She's a keeper! And the wife too!

She knew I had wanted one since high school and I had been looking for one for awhile. When I ran across this one I couldn't pass it up, so she gave the "green light."

She knows I came from a car family, and needed a toy. But she's quick to remind me she wants a C10 truck like her dad had back in the day, so that will be on the list sooner than later I suppose! Lol

​​​​​​Black in black with 6 spd man tran. I was set on am 02 to get one of the "last of the breed" and this one popped up with an Aug 02 build per door tag. I wanted a ws6, but this was just too good to pass up as a one owner with 29k miles.

The first pic was right after picking it up in chicago. Drove home all night and had to stop in Texarkana for a pic as huge Smokey and the Bandit fan! Trip went smooth except for semi that threw a rock and chipped the windshield at 2 in the morning!

Very nice low mileage ride that has many years of wonderful driving ahead. That rock chip is a heartbreaker and hopefully not in your line of vision. The 'fill in the cracks' repair guys do OK but you can always see it. If it's in a bad spot, get a new windshield. I hope you enjoy your T/A as much as I have. Bought it new way back in the day and had a 1996 Formula before that. F-bodies are just wonderful enjoyable cars.

Thanks for the compliments!

The chip is in the line of sight, but I will just do a fill for now. That way I can put $ towards an exhaust! I don't drive it enough to have it bother me that much.
