    This body style is so iconic! Love to see these still on the road.

      I’m still surprised by how well it has aged. Timeless design.

    I'm impressed with your daughter's choice! I am the original owner of a 2002 Firebird Formula, but I love all generations. Thanks for sharing.

      Thanks for watching! She really loves these cars. And honestly, every time I look at or drive her car I'm reminded how well executed they were, and how well they hold up (mechanically and stylistically) after 40+ years.

    For a minute there I thought you were slumming it. Nice to see young kids with some spirit!

      Every time I drive it I think about getting one myself. The cost-per-grin makes them a great value.

    PS. I live in Ohio and my daily driver is a 1998 v6 firebird, and this car is driven in the winter. It can fish tail in the snow, but it is possible. And I'm impressed the AC works!

    Great car. Hard to beat that L98 engine. Sorry about the accidents.

      Thanks! Every time I drive it I remember how enjoyable a torquey V8 feels. So glad my daughter likes this era car as much as I do.

    I love them cars. Pull 350 bore it out to a 383 stroker little fireball cam. And other goodies. And I would prefer a 5 Speed manual transmission. That is just me.

    Mechanical Whiz? I know your brother. He is a Master at the craft. Now make your daughter turn more spanners.

      He knows his stuff. And she’s getting there. She even took auto shop in high school. 👍🏻

    You are correct. Phoenix graphix does have all the Original Decals. You are lucky that beautiful cars wasn't totaled and your daughter wasn't hurt. That car is not a great daily driver.

      I actually like that it’s got the thicker gauge metal of the 1980s. It means it will use the other, modern cars’ crush zones for deceleration while it bends much less.
