Default New 98 T/A owner here

I've been a member for a while now and finally got my hands on a 98 T/A. I live in Minnesota and flew to Houston after I bought it off of eBay. I put 1,200 miles on it Friday 2/16 and loved every mile. Heres a pic(I hope)

^It's not a Formula. Look at the spoiler.

Nice car man! Great color. Got my car (and the one before it) off eBay too. Have fun!

Thanks , its been nothing but joy. It does come with its share of electrical gremlins though lol. Its hit or miss whether the shifting column lights up. Also,whenever I ride over a bump/pot hole the rear trunk light flickers on,then off. Another oddity it has is when I turn the head lights off, the passenger motor still runs for about 4-5 seconds...then shuts off. These are more of quirks then problems and im gonna get them sorted out soon though. Im just thankful I have a pair of functional window motors haha.

2. I dont think Barbara was a member of ls1 tech lol.
3. I live in Maple Grove , there aren't too many MN members around. The only one I can think of is SSunstopable

Congrats on the car, glad to see it worked out for ya. I loved taking mine on a 1200 miles road trip. As for the headlights, the gears are worn out and grinding, $50 for a brass gear will fix that easily.
