Thanks guys, i had tried to find a trans am, but couldnt get one with low miles in good condition for a good price, so i went else where, tried many cars, and just loved this one

Red/silver- 1986 Monte Carlo SS
Thats not a true SS...Blah, but as said before different choices for different folks. Clean looking car, and its hard to find what you want for the right price. I've been looking for a while now, think I'll just wait for a little while.

Midnight Blue- 99' Trans Am
I heard that RX-8's are expensive to work on. I would still take one though.

Yes they are expensive to work on, but then again, it can add to the fun of having a fast car...if you do work on it.
its "cute"
coulda been worse...it coulda been a miata

Edit: and if it is a crap about it being a v-6 poo on you... i think its better to have the biggest engine available in a car than it is buy a car that you pretend is a v-8... *cou- base camaros, firebirds, mustangs-ugh*Last edited by predator; 11-22-2005 at 12:31 PM.

It's a cute chick car. You should have no problem with the chicks cause they will think it is cute. But the T/A would have had panties dropping.

sorry to rain on your parade.... but 2 kids at my school one being my friend had the new Renesis Rx-8 powerplants blow up more than once. MY friends went 3 times and mazda gave him his money back, but they wernt because they said he voided the warranty w/ a borla cat-back. Nice car once you get up to the higher rpms... But just watch those motors man. I hope you have a good time w/ it. NICE FIRST CAR BY THE WAY. i got a blazer and am "forced" to an LS1 swap by myself.....

Yeah, nice first car! My parents weren't rich so my first car was a 1981 Mercury Zepher station wagon.

Stop busting the dudes balls...I would have loved to have that car when I was 17. If you're still in high school...you're gonna get soooo much poon just for having that car. How much did you pay for it? You'll probably line up with a LS1 one of these days...you're gonna wish you bought a higher mileage TA But least you have a warrenty...and a nice car. Who knows...maybe you'll do a LS1 swap in that thing...would be awesome.
