Definitely tree frogs.

You probably leave your outside lights on at night. They climb the door and catch bugs that are attracted to the light.

Of all the 70-72 TAs I've owned over the years, I estimate I parted out about 2/3 to 3/4 of them. When I bought my 1970 Formula back in 1982, my insurance agent told me that 80% of all Formula...

I graduated college in 1982 and bought a 1982 Trans Am with a factory 4-spd WS6 with a 305 carb engine. It was a dog, I think the HP rating was only about 160 hp. The factory 4-spds were pretty...
