Mine was the V6 Firebird, black with tan cloth interior, and T-Tops. After the settlement came in from my first accident, I had it re-painted, new stereo and speakers installed, and windows tinted and an alarm installed. And within a year I traded it in on a Jeep Cherokee Limited because I thought I was moving to Arizona. Didn't move, and the Jeep, although a good vehicle, was not the Firebird.

I'd complain to their ops people about the safety issue.

That might make a nice "investigative" piece for the local news media, as well.

Celebrities that turn into total whoors! For example, Chip Foose and his collectors edition cans of WD-40. Sheesh, really? Collector cans?
