Popular Post 1badgta Posted August 24, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I am a member of thirdgen.org and GTASourcepage. I own a 1988 GTA black 5.0 with 5 speed. one of 809 made with 5 speed that year. I was introduced to this site by budfreak who is also on the thirdgen board. I have included pics of my 3rd kid below. I am 44 and owned a black 86 TA back in the day. My son will get the car when I pass on one day. http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/picture.php?albumid=1773&pictureid=30745 http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/picture.php?albumid=1773&pictureid=12978 http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/picture.php?albumid=1773&pictureid=8476 http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/picture.php?albumid=1773&pictureid=8469 I am in the polaris area and normally go to 1-3 shows a year. I would like to meet other local 3rd-geners to discuss our cars and attend some events together. Please approve me:) Mike 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1badgta Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thanks for all the kind words:) I would not LS1 swap it out since it is 21K original car. It has enough power for me. LS_Sonoma - How many miles were on that 5.0/T-5? I have only seen one lower:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1badgta Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Nice intro and an awesome car, the GTA was something I've loved since I was a teenager. Would love to see it. Welcome to the site. Maybe next year:) I dont think I will be at any shows this year. In oct it goes to storage. In Jan I get historic plates! I get to keep BAD GTA license plate forever:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Welcome. My dad had a red 87 gta one of 40 that did pace laps to introduce them. I have been on the hunt for a reasonably priced gta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1badgta Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 LOL.. KITT? NOT! Never look at it like that... odd I guess.

SinisterSS Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 welcome, I'm on thirdgen.org too, but I haven't logged in since I sold my 2 I-ROC Z's, I sold them after I bought my 2000 SS and haven't looked back, although I do miss my 89.
