Thanks for that Jim ..... that's about three minutes more of that program than I'd ever seen before!

In high school a black Trans-am with the screaming chicken on the hood was my dream car.

There's been a few Trans-am's for sale in Oz lately -

Dad has a red ‘75, I’ve only seen it about 2 or 3 times because he keeps it stored away. He did a complete restoration on it in the 80’s and he’s afraid to drive it because he doesn’t want rock chips or anything and won’t take it to shows because he doesn’t want anyone touching it… Don’t understand the fun in owning it at all!!

I’m always shocked when I’m watching a movie and see when it was made. It never seems like it was that long ago. The older you get the faster the years go.
