Default Dream Car!

After owning a 2000 Camaro SS I realized just how much I love F bodies! So after selling it, I started hunting for my dream car...a 2002 Firebird Trans Am WS6! Well, I found it last week and after buying it, my wife and I flew out to Phoenix Thursday night and drove it 2,000 miles back to Michigan!! It was an amazing weekend and the car performed flawlessly! Looking forward to getting to know people in the community and learn more about these great cars!

Had 19,611 when the trip started and now it's around 21,500. Some might call me crazy for putting that many miles on such a low mile car right away, but it was worth it!

No crazy there! Your car to enjoy. Way to break it in right. Just picked up a 07 Z06 with 18K miles myself. Been driving it as much as possible so it earns my trust.

Beautiful hawk. What do you think of having a WS6 hood instead of the SLP Firehawk hood?

Actually it's the other way around. The previous owner liked Firehawks so it's badged that way but it's actually a Trans Am WS6. I'm debating putting the correct badging back on it.

Looks way good, that ride it and stance is perfect.

Never understood the "keep the miles low" thing.... for what and for who? Drive the **** out of it man.
