In July 1996 I bought a new Formula for $20k. I upgraded to my current ride ($33k list) and now have been an F-body owner for over 12 years. Absolutely NO plans to sell. These are obviously special cars to me. It has been through my personal experience and observations that indicate that any 'actual' owner that puts these cars down is usually a short term owner or bought a real 'basket' case that needed too much work. As stated in a major car magazine, F-body owners are similar in regards to belonging to a religious cult. I wish I had saved that article to frame and put in my garage. I have no idea where it came from anymore. I just always remember the reference. It seems to be quite true.
