Yeah, don't those make it hard to corner? :-\ ??? ???

(J/K also! :D :D :D)

If you guys had any idea how much cash I got in those bikes, especially the green one you guys would not be laughing at them, lol. It is ridicoulous how expensive it is to mod one of those, restoring a T/A is chump change by comparison. (if you do the work yourself that is)

Oh yeah, I knew that already.  You can spend big money on a bike quicker than it'll do the quarter mile...lots quicker. :-\

Ok finally scanned up a couple photos of my first car - '86 Daytona Turbo Z...

***Please hold - photos didn't auto shrink on 78ta so moving them to photobucket...





***That's better ;)

Picture was taken on Old Broadway in Buffalo NY right next to the then Conrail Frontier Yard (its now CSX's yard due to CSX and Norfolk Southern buying out Conrail). Looks to be around winter time as the winter steel rims are on instead of the aluminum wheels.

You know it's so funny that every time I see one of these 3rd gen T/As (or Formulas) I like them more and more, but I despised them back in the 80s because I felt if it didn't have a Pontiac V8 then it wasn't a real T/A.

OK -- finally got around to collecting mine...not posting the obvious 1975 TA I still have...
