When Pontiac brought back the ram air cars and hoods with the 4th generation birds, I fell in love with them.  It looks evil and powerful just parked.  Once again on eBay, I saw this car, a 1996 Firebird Formula LT1 WS-6, with 6 speed.  It had 116K miles, but the owner had kept the car up nice, and had just been serviced.  Always looking for a bargain, this one joined us in late 2006.  My plan is to us this car for small weekend trips, to the like of Monterey, San Francisco, Palm Springs, San Diego, or any where we can drive with the T-Tops off, and radio blasting away.
