Sold my 'bird
So today was a rough day for me. After my TA had started producing a knock and I couldn't afford to fix it; it made me depressed seeing as how it was my first F body and I worked my *** off to buy it. Well today it sold and seeing it loaded on the trailer and hauled away was heart wrenching. I bought the car for $9k and put about $7k into it. After the motor took a ****, I let it go for $3500. Hardest decision of my life but it went to a good home. Now looking for number two and hopefully will have it within the next 6 months.

I couldn't sell mine. I bought mine for 14k n put another 6k into it. It's really not the money, though. It was my first "fast" car and my dad helped pick it out. He passed away in August.

I didn't really care about the money either. It was my first f body and my first real car that I bought myself. Granted I was only 18 when I bought it a few years ago when I first joined the military. Saved all my money to buy the car I wanted ever since they came out. I'm still kicking myself in the *** a few days later after seeing it hauled away and I constantly scan the classified section looking.

I know the feeling man. I felt that way after selling my 88 GTA which was my first car.
Sold it so I could have room for the new TA and was sick of putting money into fixing everything besides the drivetrain . Annnnnnnnnnnnd it was sold by the time I got there. ( in retrospect, I'm VERY VERY VERY glad I didn't get that particular TA )
I needed a car immediately so I said screw it, I'm not financing anything I don't want. Had $2500 cash, bought a 01 Blazer. Hated that thing with a passion. Even traded it for a 93 Z28, which I sold after a few months ( Showing early symptoms of valvetrain issues ) and had enough cash to pick up my current TA for $4500.
Make sure you get another TA or you'll end up kicking yourself in the *** for a while.

I felt sick when my brother traded his 97 t/a. He is the reason I got mine and resulted in a new passion and connection between us. It had the beautiful oe purple, cant remember the actual name for the color. I tried to talk him out of it every time I talked to him. I never see LT1 models that looked that good. I actually have it in my pictures I believe
