Default Hey guys! Finally got my WS6!!!

Well I finally got my T/A! and only had to wait 24 years to get one .

Left work early on Wednesday, took a 5 hour train ride up to Providence, Rhode Island and a half hour taxi ride to New Bedford, Mass. to go pick my new car. Nice little 4 hour drive back down to Jersey. Got myself a:

2002 Navy Blue Metallic Trans Am WS6 M6 with 7,800 miles on it, completely stock (which is what I was looking for), with tan leather interior.

I love this car. It makes me tear up everytime I see it. It makes all the divorce and house sale crap so much more worth all the trouble they were.

Navy blue metallic? YUCK!



















Just kidding! I bet that WS6 looks nice as hell, and with the best color out there for these cars out there. Of course I am a little bias Have fun with the project, and be sure to do lots of research on here

LOL, Yeah it does!

I've been reading a lot about the car, mods, things to look for, etc. from here, a lot of information, It's amazing how much you guys know.

Thanks everyone. I'll post some pics in the next couple of days.

Dude, post up as many pics of the WS6 as you can! I LOVE the NBM exterior/ tan interior combo. You've got by FAR the sweetest looking FBody GM has ever produced.

Welcome to our world!! Sorry about the divorce. I hope it wasn't because of the car though. A nice sports car is a great tool on the road to recovery though!!

Love that color, great choice. And the tan leather really sets it off.

Sorry about the Divorce, I went through one after 25 years of marriage, it's very painful, but the WS6 will help:

Like they say, "An LS1 Fbody will get you through times without s-x, better than s-x will get you through times without an LS1 Fbody."

Thanks guys. Actually the divorce was very friendly, no worries, all is good..... with a lot of help from my new car . Kind of like my gift for all the crap.

Anyway....pics are on the way, just pulled my last late nighter at work for a while so if not tomorrow then Wed, I'll get to take some. I have a very specific back drop I want to have for my first pics ... sunset over the Barnaget Bay. I was driving around one night after work and found this killer parking lot (as killer as parking lots go that is) right on the bay, no houses in the way of the view. When I bought the car it was the first (well second, I would love to get the car with the ocean in the background with some nice waves rolling in but around here all those views are blocked by big *** houses) place I thought of so hopefully if not tomorrow after work, then definitely Wed.

That really sucks. I hope all is going better now. It is definitely painful, wasn't really my idea, but gotta move on.

And what better way to move on then in a T/A! Good luck brother!
