Mileage: 88,443
This above date marked the last ride for the Trans Am for the 2010 driving season! I had driven it to work the last couple of times I drove it and actually needed to turn the heater on a little bit on the way home! For some reason, this October got pretty cold, pretty quick, with only an occasional warm day. I had a chance to get the Trans Am cleaned up real good both inside and out, got it parked close to the wall of the garage and got the car cover on with time to spare before the first snow fall!
This season, I logged 539 miles on it! I used it mainly to go to work but did go out for a few date nights with Shannon and attend couple car shows. I really want to try and get some of the parts that I have purchased for the car painted over the winter so they can be ready to install in the spring. I also need to do a mechanical repair in the spring before I drive it very far. The heater core is starting to leak, which is a common problem with GM F-Body cars, but the job takes about 10 hours to do (it can be read about HERE) and involves taking most of the dashboard apart!
So, there in the garage the Trans Am will sit in hibernation until next April! I am still planning on starting it once during the winter and letting it run for a half hour or so, then trickle charge the battery full again!

I've never heard a TA called a "Screaming Chicken" before..
I HAVE heard of them being called a "Tranny"...
I'm just sayin'
Honestly, I was never a big fan of the term "screaming chicken," I never understood why people just didn't call is a Pheonix! However, Maeve thought it was such a funny name for a car, it stuck!
