Default New guy from TX!

Live in the Houston area, got ahold of a 2002 Trans Am WS6 in late May '08. I couldn't have asked for more... T-Tops and a 6-speed manual? This thing is FUN! I don't know much about cars, so I'm hoping to get a little schooling from this site.

Welcome fellow Texan!! Nice car, where did you get the stripe package on it? I miss the old 70's birds on the hoods.

Just read the site, there's plenty of good info. You'll be doing mods to the car in no time!!

Nice car!! I bought mine last year and really havent done anything to it yet. Almost like it the way it is. Just remember one thing about adding on parts to a car - I read it on here somewhere - Build it Once, Build it Right, Build it Strong

haha thanks guys. It DOES seem like Texans own this place. So far I've just been dreaming about mods, don't have the cash for anything... rash, yet.

And yeah! I do live in Copperfield.
