The 99 was a basket case. Day 1 the A/C system was inop, no cold air. Found this out on the hour drive home from the dealership I purchased it at. Couple days later got in with my local dealership, they charged it, and found the Compressor had a leak. So literally at 9 miles on the odometer was the first issue with the compressor replacement happening at 256 miles (I remember this because this was important for depreciation on the lemon law). At 8xx miles, 5th gear synchro's went out in the trans and the trans decided to obliterate itself internally is what the tech said. New T56. Car spent over 2 weeks at the shop while the dealer decided what to do. At about 2K miles, same thing on the new transmission. They rebuilt this one. Then an axle seal went out at some point. Then at about 8K miles, the T56 went out again. I started pushing for a lemon law buyback, and the DM for Pontiac said no because they haven't done a 3rd fix with a 4th failure. So I educated him as to how CA law works, and that if a vehicle has either a 3/4 fix/break OR spends a cumulative total of 30+ days in the shop within the first 12 months / 12000 miles, it qualifies. I pointed out that their systems will show I'm at 28 days, and asked if he could have the T56 rebuilt in two days time. He said he'll start the paperwork and I could turn in and get a check the following week.
But man she was quick. My first ever stick car, and my first ever time to a track or racing a stick and I went 13.53@106 bone stock at Sears Point Raceway with it about a month after buying it. I'm sure a better driver would have taken that down a decent amount.
On the 93.........I presume you mean the purple Turbo one I had. I really wish things had gone differently. I pushed too far with that one when I should have kept it more simple, and less modified. I miss that car.

Man, I would have been heart broken having to lemon law that TA. But it definetlty sounds like it was the right thing to do. And yes, I was referring to your purple 93. There was a bunch of pretty unique features to that build.
