    Looking for my old TR

    Just wondering if my old 86 WH1 belongs to someone on the boards now and where it is......when I sold it in 2000, I think it ended up in the Amarillo area. Last 6 of the VIN is 224468 (and yes, I still remember the complete VIN number :rolleyes: ). Had to let it go when my second was born to...

    Ever seen a........

    Back in the 80's, I distinctly remember the Buick dealer in the town I grew up in getting a TR that was white with a maroon stripe down the side (same scheme as a designer series but different colors).

    treadwear numbers vs mileage?

    I always thought a higher treadwear number pretty much meant longer tread life--then over the weekend I find a Michelin with a 420 rating and a Bridgestone with a 180......both state 60000 mile warranty. How can both be rated for 60k miles with such a vast difference in treadwear numbers?

    converter locks too soon

    I test drove a TR that I'm seriously considering buying--only thing I found wrong is tcc locks about halfway through 1st gear and stays that way through 2nd, 3rd, and OD until you come to a stop again--doesn't feel like it unlocks with the brake pedal while cruising down the road...
