I did this whole "check the numbers" exercise some months back after seeing some tips on where to find the numbers. Mine was good - Which would seem normal for 1,210 miles on the ticker. I posted about it somewhere, probably over at the TTA site. Mine's gone to a new owner in Canada this...

Sounds like people like me sitting on 1,200 mile originals are missing all the fun :-) I just sold that car, and had no idea what I was missing out on :-) Mike

GM should not try to pedal their new stuff by bringing up names from the past. Oftentimes it does more harm to the originals than it does good for the new car. I vote to leave the GN and GNX names alone - And don't even think of making another TTA either! Mike

At $39,500 with 12 hours to go ... Not a bad start!

Jan, I didn't forget about this. Work, kids, wife with MS ... I don't get much 'me' time, but I'm not complaining. I do have that sticker, and only had my cell phone camera with me last time I was at the car. Try as I might, nothing very useful. I'll get by with a real camera next time I'm...

How much are those front struts?

Most all the damage I've ever done racing a car was either at the line, or in the first 60' ... Not sure I buy the 1/8 argument saying it's better on the car. I only like 1/4 - I never could see the point of the 1/8, and driver's races don't intrique me. I go to the track to see fast cars...

I typically buy and sell them sight unseen, but still have that "oh boy, let's see what happens" feeling each time. I think people should SEE them (or choose not to) before placing a bid, especially a winning bid. I interview my bidders a bit to make sure they actually have money, as I know...

Not to get off topic (more than we already have), but the comment you made above caught my attention. You said "Didn't have time to go look at it in person before the window to pay was up"? Maybe I read that wrong, but the way I see it is when you win the Bid, you own the car whether you go...

I've sold some cars on eBay and never had a problem. Over the years I've gotten pretty good at weeding out the shoppers from the buyers. It becomes a gut instinct after doing it long enough ... It's never popular when I cancel someone's eBay bid, but I do end up with a real buyer. Good luck...

Are you trying to convince me to not pay these bills laying on my desk?! Seriously, that sounds like an awesome ride. You said "Almost mint" in the eBay ad. What areas would you consider less than mint? Mike

I don't need this temptation right now ... Kid starting university, and a wife racking up doctor bills! Seriously, it seems the TTA cars have dipped a lot lately in value. Shame really since I think they have great legs in the near future ... Wish I had lots more money to throw around...

I thought it was a good buy at the Buy It Now, but didn't make a low 20's offer because I knew (or thought I did) it would be turned down. That's a great buy on that car ... Lots of room for appreciation when the market starts moving.

Wicked collection - I'd be snapping lots of pictures!!

I don't have one on my TTA, but I had a Hooker catback on my '01 Formula LS1. I loved that catback!!
