Default Hello from new blue ws6

Just saying hello. I have had 2 previous Firebird V-6's but in August this year I traded #2, a 2001 Navy Blue V-6, for a 2002 Navy Blue WS6 TA. I loved the V-6 but it had 86,000 on it and I saw the WS6 on a lot and decided to take a look. It was spotless and only 14,000 miles! Small car lot selling it on consignment for some misguided soul. Gave them the "old" V-6 and $14,000 and drove off in essentially a brand new WS6 TA. (yes I ran a CarFax first, 2 owners who apparently didn't like driving or something) Felt like I stole it. Credit union gave me a new car loan rate 'cause the computer said it was worth way more. Payment went down $100 per month compared to the loan I still had on the V-6. And the insurance actually went down too. No real mods yet, changed oil to Mobile 1, changed plugs, 8mm Tayor wires, SLP switch that reverses the TCS so it's always off unless you hit the switch. Daily driver unless there is too much ice or snow. Later, Gary in Astoria, Or.
