Default 1 Hot Ta

Saw you on I-20 headed east in Arlington this morning and then up onto SH-360 headed North. Really nice looking car. I was the obnoxious little Datsun 280Z with the vanity tag that reads 280Z28 that came alongside a couple times.

Could have been me but my girl was asleep in the garage; I am sure you will see me in that area though, or hear me, that is...

It was a red TA with a vanity tag that says "1 HOT TA". That's why I titled the thread that way. I figured the car was pretty well known.

I'll guarantee about all you'll see of it is the back end as it pulls away. This guy tends to motivate down the road.
That may be endemic in red F-bodies, though. I had one nearly clean the front end off my car on a frontage road this morning. I only got a brief glimpse but I think it ws a Camaro. He must have been doing close to 80. I smoked up onto I-20 behind hiim but never got close. Even with me running at 80 he pulled away. Traffic was too heavy for any serious speed.

I recently saw one but I doubt this is the one that you are talking about. This one was a beater. Teal looking car and it didnt start on the first 2 cranks. Those are growing in numbers I see.

Recently saw what? Per my original post I encountered a nice looking red TA, vanity tag "1 HOT TA". What does that have to do with a teal green beater of unspecified manufacture that doesn't want to start? You've lost me.
