Default Soon to be T/A owner

I just joined up tonight. I posted another tread in the general LSX forum about the T/A I'm going to check out tomorrow night (my dream T/A). My name is Nate, I'm 20 years old, and I work for 84 Lumber (some of you may have heard of them). I design roof, floor, and wall systems for them.

Currently I drive a 2006 Silverado W/T 5-speed 4.3L Vortec but I just can't do it anymore. The gas mileage is worse than (if not the same as) a T/A would get (16-18mpg) mixed and I've wanted a Trans Am since I was very young.

I plan to stick around for a while, especially once I get the T/A. I'm sure I'll have questions when things go wrong.

Hey if you get a 6 speed you can average over 20mpg, and on the highway/interstates the have been known to get up to or more than 30mpg!
