To The Memory Of My Cherished TA :(
This would be an official obituary for my Trans AM. It was a grief as great to as a grown person can experience for his/her car, may be little bit more :( At night, 08/2002 as a result of a stupid accident TA ceased to exist. To be precise, it took two weeks to declare it totaled, pardon - deceased. Those two weeks were difficult, hope mixed with dread, and then it happened :(
I've enjoyed TA WS6 every day during those 4.5 years. It was reliable and trusty beast. Never failed on me. 2 recalls for small parts and a squeaky steering rack were all the extra services it asked from me in 4.5 years. Is that too much? Of course not.
Rest in piece dear friend. Your memory will always be with me and this page shall stay forever in your honor.
