New Here w/ 99 TA Hey everyone!
To start it off I love this site and the information on it, I wish I would have known about it back when i owned my 94 Z28 two years ago.
Now about me, I am from MN and I used to own a 94 Z28 A4 and when I started college I sold it so I had some extra money and bought a more practical car (99 Monte Carlo Z34) Well after having the Monte for a year and a half now, I decided who needs to be practical and started looking for another F-body. I decided this time around I was going to go LS1, and with a Trans Am instead. ( I love the way they look
) So after some searching I finally found what I was looking for.
I am driving 350 miles to pick her up on wednesday (Aug. 24)
The car is a 1999 White Pontiac Trans Am M6 with only 25,000 miles. I wanted a car that had not been modded, beaten, or seen winters, as well as one with low miles.
I am not going to modidfy or race this car. It has a short throw shifter, borla adjustable exhaust and an aftermarket Lid with Ram Air hood, which are as many modifications as I will ever need. I am excited to get this car and once again have a extremely fun and fast everyday car. (Oh and I have never owned a manual transmission car before so I am excited to finally have one)
I look forward to spending time on this site and getting to know many of you!

Finally got her home last night, and the car is the nicest I have ever seen, never even seen rain. It was a noisy ride home though because the Original tires have served their time and need to be replaced. Still havin troubles with the whole 6 speed deal, It's kindda embarassing actually 
hopefully I get it down soon, its got the hurst shifter and was changed to a short throw, and the gears are so close together I sometimes go into the wrong one...maybe this is normal. anyways I figured 31mpg @ 70 mph was pretty damn good, so that just makes me even more happy I got the 6 speed. I will have pics up soon

Ya I thought the milleage was awesome! for all you 6speed guys, how long did it take you to get used to driving a stick...and for those who drove them before their f-body did it take a while for you to get used to the f-body compared to your other vehicles?
