The Trans Am Diary: Finally fixed the slow leaky tire
http://1986pontiactransam.blogspot.com/2015/03/finally-fixed-slow-leaky-tire.html
Friday, March 27, 2015. Finally fixed the slow leaky tire. I'm the king of procrastination. I've had a slow leak in my rear passenger tire for . years. If I left the TA sitting up for two or three weeks I'd come back and find the passenger side rear tire almost flat. I'd just air it back up and get on with my life. No more leaking tire.

The Trans Am Diary: 29 year old starter died ...
http://1986pontiactransam.blogspot.com/2015/02/29-year-old-starter-died.html
Friday, February 6, 2015. 29 year old starter died . Well, this is the first time that I've updated the blog since my accident in my '89 Dodge Daytona Shelby. I won't beat a dead horse so if you didn't know about my accident you can read about it here. What a waste of a really rare car through no fault of my own. Fast forward to me being without a daily driver, unable to ride my '04 Honda CBR600RR due to my injuries and having to pull the '86 TA out of the garage to use as my temporary daily driver.

The Trans Am Diary: Life with the Trans Am
http://1986pontiactransam.blogspot.com/2014/08/life-with-trans-am.html
Thursday, August 21, 2014. Life with the Trans Am. With the Daytona in the shop ( again. I took the '86 Trans Am to work today, tops off, windows down, it was a good drive. If you've never driven in an American V8 powered GT class sports car with T-tops, you need to add that to your bucket list. I really like your Camaro! I've long since given up on trying to correct (or educate) people so I just thanked her and walked on up to the counter, taking her enthusiastic outburst for what it was . she liked...

The Trans Am Diary: Car show - Petal Fall Festival
http://1986pontiactransam.blogspot.com/2014/10/car-show-petal-fall-festival.html
Saturday, October 25, 2014. Car show - Petal Fall Festival. Had a car show at the Petal Fall Festival. I was one of four '80's high tech muscle cars there . the other three consisted of a '89 Fox body Mustang GT (blue hardtop) with aftermarket wheels, a 1986 Buick Grand National (black hard top) with aftermarket wheels, and a bone stock 1982 Collector's Edition Corvette with Crossfire Injection engine. Still like that Corvette. That's kind of what it's become lately, at least locally. Born in June, 1969,...

Saturday, July 19, 2014. Passenger side driving light replacement - half a decade late. I've procrastinated almost half a decade on this fix and it's a whole lot easier than I thought it was going to be. Hooray for shade tree mechanics and bad form, procrastination. Bad form. It's a sad, snaggletooth lit 1986 TA. Sylvania H3 bulbs to the rescue. Take two and . you know the rest. The factory driving light assembly, with its mounts removed. It's a happy 1986 TA! No more snaggletooth grin! The TA developed ...

The Trans Am Diary: April 2015
http://1986pontiactransam.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 19, 2015. Still a head turner at 29 years old. This TA turns heads . that much is a given. Recently I was on a private security detail when a group of five kids walked by me, looking at my TA parked across the street. The oldest of the kids couldn't have been much more than 11 or 12 so they were all "this century" kids. One of the younger kids pointed across the street to my TA and said . There's that neat car again! What type of car did you say that was? He said, all matter-of-factly.

The Trans Am Diary: May 2013
http://1986pontiactransam.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 24, 2013. Driver Selfie - May 24, 2013. Friday, May 24, 2013. On my way to work, it's " National Take Your Trans Am to Work Day. Aw, who am I kidding? Day is " National Take Your Trans Am to Work Day. Yours truly. Not bad for a 45 year old kid. The '86 TA at work. She's keeping some sketchy company . Hard to believe that if you added up the cubes, cylinders and injectors under the hood of the Ford Transit Connect and the Kia Soul you might get what's under the hood of my TA. Might. The TA at ...
