Default Hello from VA...

Hello all!

I've been lurking on here for awhile, finally got around to registering. I'm Dane, from Appomattox VA. I work in Lynchburg, VA as a professional firefighter. I've been around F-Bodies for a long time (my dad has a WS-6 and one of my best friends has an LT-1 T/A and a 98 Z28) but I bought my first just last July. It's an '02 NBM Formula A4. When I bought it there was only 24,500 on the clock. I'm slowly starting to mod, but I just have a few basics taken care of so far.

SLP Lid
SLP LM1
P/P MAF
rear from a WS-6 with 3.42 ZT going in next week. Not a fan of the 2.73's.

Glad to finally be a member here, and looking forward to gleaning a lot of knowledge...and maybe even helping out sometimes!

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I'm always down to meet...I'll definitely have to check out those forums.

And about the firefighting job market here...it's pretty bleak. We may be facing a station closure, which has been a very RARE occurance in the history of our department. If we end up losing firefighter positions, it would be the first time EVER in our history, 126 years. I guess the recession is affecting everyone.

Thanks for the responses guys! Hope to see some of you around town

That sucks man, I might have to re-enlist instead of going civilian. Seems like a lot of departments are doing cut backs
