Don't say I didn't warn you guys

I decided to go to an all Firebird show in Mass. It was a great show, 23 'birds showed up. A couple of really nice bandit TAs along with some other very clean 2nd gens, and a few well modded LS1s. And that one guy who had the nerve to show up with an LT1, don't know what he was thinking. We took a nice little cruise down RT9 after the show, it was a good time.

I think you're thinking of the Tufts show in Medford Mass. The show I went to was the Firebird Nation Car Club meet in Spencer Mass, which is a little bit west of Worcester. Here's a couple pics:

If that dart won the loudest exhasut competition that's not saying much LOL, that thing wasn't even loud

After seeing how many dirty cars were there I could have loaded my car up without doing a damn thing after the last time it was raced, rubber all over it and all and probably won something.

sad. Really glad I didn't bother bringing it up now.

With the stick welded cage that car had in it, I think 1/2 the imports there could have gave it a run for it's $.

I just look at stuff like that, and when I see a stick welded cage I already know how the rest of the car has to be.
