In 2005, I purchased my dream car (on ebay) from a mechanic in Cleveland, OH. She is my baby. In 2007, I had her painted metallic pink and blue with metal flake. We went to our first car show, Trans Am Nationals, and won 2 trophies! The Dayton Aviation Award and 2nd Place for 1982-92 Firebirds. In 2009, I designed the custom interior and had it fabricated in pink and blue glitter vinyl.

I have Grundy Insurance and my car is insured for $21,000. I pay about $500/year.

There are several modifications that I've had done to her: Lambo Door Kit, Camaro Seats, 1986 Steering Wheel, 1987 Hood Bird, 1988 Trans Am GTA Aftermarket Spoiler, 1996 Trans Am Wheels (painted with metal flake), and Aftermarket CD Player and Speakers.

From 2010-2013, I won 18 more awards! Many of them are 1st Place, I also have one for Best Interior and one for Best Presentation. I was awarded Best Presentation because I dressed in pink and blue clothing to match my car. Her name is Bubblicious, by the way. All 20 trophies/plaques come with the car. Bubblicious has also been in High Performance Pontiac magazine 2 times: April 2008 and 2010 with the Trans Am Nationals coverage. She is widely known, you'll get a lot of attention!!!

The 3.1 v6 is good if you don't want to race your car. It gets better gas mileage than the v8 engine, but feel free to rebuild the engine.

Engine Work: 2005: Brakes, Idler Arm, Shocks/Struts, Serpentine Belt, 2008: Fuel Injectors, Throttle Position Sensor, Idler Air Control Valve, Heater Control Valve, O2 Sensor, Hatch Motor, Wiper Motor, Manifold Gasket, Fuel Filter, Tune Up: Distributor Cap, Rotor, Coil, Spark Plugs and wires, 2009: Alternator, 2011: New Cooling Fan, Thermostat, Ground Wire, Cooling Sensor, Fan Switch, 2013: New Tires, New Battery, Oil, Oil Filter and Air Filter Changed 1,500 miles ago.

Bubblicious has been my baby since I first bought her, but my life is going a different direction with no room for 2 cars. Whomever purchases her, take good care! Bubblicious is a great car!!

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.

'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers

Tue, May 30 2017

A sizable number of speculators view cars as an investment. Rare or unusual models are quickly snapped up and either parked for years or flipped for a profit. Cars from automakers like Porsche and Ferrari are more prone than others, and at least some people behind these models are getting a bit tired of it. While it's difficult to police what goes on after you sell a car, Porsche has some plans that might curtail the problem before it starts. Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development and the man behind the new 911 GT3, spoke to Car and Driver at a recent event. "I personally like to see my cars being used," he said. "That's what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust." One recent example of this rampant speculation is the 911 R. While the special manual-only model sold for $185,950 when new, used versions were selling for nearly $1.3 million just months after it went on sale. While the car is a masterpiece and an instant classic, a good number will be parked and simply used as art and not the rolling testaments to the man/machine interface they were intended to be. The concern over valuations has become so fierce that some owners are upset that Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a manual transmission, fearing that it may hurt the value of the 911 R. "When I said we're not a hedge fund, I'm talking to those people who are yelling at us for offering the manual transmission similar to the R," Preuninger said. "But if there are people wanting to buy cars like that, then as a company we should try to fulfill that, to meet that demand." It seems Porsche is keeping a close eye on who is flipping cars. Since there is often far more demand than supply with certain models, the German automaker has a name for every car before it's built. Buyers with bad reputations might not even make the wait list.
