For kind consideration, here is my 2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 car.

What's so Special?:
This car is special to me because it was purchased with my father when he was with us in 2002. He was able to ride in this car one time during the dream cruise in 2003 before he fell ill. I enjoy driving it, but it's not something that I can drive every day for fear of getting hit, or having the car damaged. It has good memories including the sweet story at Noonan Pontiac. From 8AM until noon, all 15-odd birds were quickly sold off, and my parents called back as they weren't sure of if they should purchase it. When my father called back, they were told that all Trans AM's were sold. The sales woman wanted my parents to come down anyway for another deal she had for them.
They went to the dealership and the woman took them back into the service area, where she opened the door then said:
"This is the very last Trans AM. I tagged it for you because there was a line of people trying to buy it. If you want this car, here it is. If not, it will be sold."

Since then, I try to keep it in perfect shape, and every once in a while when on a cruise; I can smell my dad's tobacco scent in the car with me, riding co-pilot.
