I'm in the market for a everyday driver car. I was thinking about the 05/06 GTO, great car but, I'm not in love with the look of the car. I do love the look of the late model Trans Am's and I have always been a Pontiac type of guy. So I'm starting to look at the 1999 - 2002 cars. Want to keep the purchase price around $25k or below, want to get a low milage car. Would love a anniversary car( 1999 or 2002), or a SLP car (Firehawk) but it looks like they go for more then I want to spend. So how are these cars as everyday drivers (I will be putting 70 miles a day on it)? Are there any thing I should stay away from (year, that type of thing). I would love it to be a convertable.

Also, want to show it at the local cruise night (Wyckoff NJ).
