What did you do with your Trans Am today?

I think I might sell my Impala and buy a TA.

What about that thing called "winter" that we have to endure?

[35th-ANV-SS]

Been snowing here all morning.

Yeah I was out in it last night. 20 min drive home and passed 6 wrecks on the expressway.

Anyone know if you can start an a fully assembled engine outside the vehicle? Like if I have the computer and harness hooked up to it, a starter and battery hooked up, radiator, a fuel pump and some line in a gas can could you start it? I want to do it for break in purposes before its even put in the car. I'd be watching all readings via HP tuners.

I have seen engine stands made for running them outside a car but no idea what they cost.

[98TransAmWs-6]

Yeah I was more of thinking of DIY I already have a stand. All the ones I've seen that you can buy are around $1000

You should have him, or do it yourself, start a legitimate for-sale thread with all of the info on the car....including photographs of it....since it's a forum rule.

Fun thing about buying this used T/Am is learning new stuff. To wit, Dex-Cool organic coolant ?! WTF?! That orange stuff is like probiotic yogurt and actually EATS my aluminum engine? Going to have a system flush and replace w new DexCool at GM dealer, but curious:

Any damage to engine if hasn't been changed in past 4 years (2nd owner), or ever since '99.new? First owner was an older car guy who bought pace-car model new at Daytona... so HOPEFULLY it was changed once or twice between '99 and 2012????? :-(

Wish there was a GM dealer service where you could search all services by VIN? Is there?

I pay $1200 a year via state farm for my WS6 full coverage. Tell me more about this collector insurance. Will they insure vehicles with liens? Could I still put 5,000+ miles on it?

I have looked into Haggerty. They will let you put collector's insurance on your car AND daily drive it. It's all just a matter of how much you want to pay. Generally, you and the insurance company agree upon a value for the car (minimum is $30K) and you pay the insurance according to that value and the way that the car is used. For my Z, assuming daily driving, the cost would have been $291/month (so... around $3500 per year), but it won't be totaled unless it sustains $30K worth of damage... so there's that. In any case, the policy is customized to your needs.

Any kind of coolant becomes corrosive after a certain time period. Green stuff last two years. Orange Dexcool lasts 4 or 5 years. If left unchecked for a long period of time, it can corrode an aluminum or iron block. It can get bad enough that the head gaskets won't seal. Rarely happens but it can.
