[Untamed]

Growing up I was the kid that went against the grain, doing the things others couldnt or wouldnt, wearing stuff that was never in style, and working or reading when others were on the beach or playing football (was a soccer and baseball guy, growing up in South Florida).

So when all my friends got Mustangs (the LX 5.0 because it was lighter), I decided I wanted to like something else. Fell in love with the looks of the late 80's Trans Ams, and of course, loved the Bandit style TAs. So even though my friends had the 'stangs, and my parents had a smattering of imports and domestics, the style of the third gen TA stuck with me.

So in 1992 when I joined the Army Reserve, going to college in Indiana, my hunt began for a TA - but ended up with an 85 Camaro. No firebirds or TAs to be found anywhere near Terre Haute, IN. Drove that for a year, then picked up the 90 Firebird the day I saw it. Just had to have my Pontiac!

Graduated college, got married, moved out to NJ with the 90 then traded that it for a 97 Firebird. Kids came along so dropped the Firebird for a family vehicle for a few years, then got my free 88TA from a Rabbi. I think God wanted me to have another f-body.

So even though I have the $#$#@! import for a daily driver, I have hope that I'll be back to driving an f-body full time very soon. I know where my roots are.

So despite friends and parents having other types of cars, I made my own decision and stuck with it for many years.
