PHS sent me
the correct info on my car. The correct window stickers will, sigh, be
along at a later date.

The
incorrect dealer price window stickers for my car arrive. They are for
the 3668th Firebird produced in 1986, strangely, it is a black Trans Am with
gray interior, LG4 engine, automatic, no T-tops and not much else. A
real plain jane kind of mass produced dealer-spec'ed TA. I'm still waiting on the correct window
sticker for my car.

Dad has the
car for a day. He decides it needs new brakes and rotors. He
installs OEM parts all the way around. Sigh. I would have told him to wait and
let me put the GM Durastop rotors and the Z-rated carbon / metallic pads all the way
around but he's my dad and he's impulsive like that. Since he picked up
the tab, I can't fault him too hard for doing it. New brake rotors and
pads all around for the old girl.

The Trans Am springs a leak. I'm slowly losing coolant near the
firewall, ala the oil cooler line on the '89 Formula 350. However, since
this engine / TA does not have the oil cooler installed, the problem is
similar but different. Not wanting to worm my way under the car for two
nights, I run the car up to a local mechanic. The problem is a leak in a
heater hose. $15 hose, two hours labor. I'm rolling again.

I received the reproduction T-top sun shades from Year One
(taking advantage of one of their 10% off sales). The shades are in tan
color and the difference in interior temps during the day while driving with
and without the shades in place is
noticeable.

I
received the PHS packet for the wrong car. Apparently, from what I can
tell, someone transposed the "8" in my VIN as a "3" and thus I received the
information packet for a Trans Am with the production number of
203668 instead of
208668.
