New to this forum.
New to this forum. Just wanted to pop in and say that I was new to the site. I live in Northern California, I am 28 years old, and I have 2 F-bodies. I have a 2002 Sunset Orange Metallica Firebird Formula that I ordered from a local dealership brand new. It is my toy and baby that gets pampered with Zano and garaged. I have 18K miles on her and I got the car on Dec 27th, 2001. I also have a 1999 30th Ann Trans Am that my girlfriend bought brand new in May of 1999. It is fully loaded with an automatic, that is of course her baby, I just get to take care of it. I use nothing but syn. fluids in the cars and we drive them occasionally with our car club runs. My girlfriend drives a 1997 Mistu Eclipse Spyder everyday for her "beater" car. I have a company vehicle that is a 2003 Ford F-150 that I drive everyday. I am into modifing my 2002 firebird, but the 30th just gets a few bolt-ons because we like to keep that one pretty much stock. I sold my 1994 Trans AM GT with 80K miles on it, that was a good car to me, and I drove the **** out of it. I definitely like the LS1 a lot better than the LT1, but that LT1 took a beating. I took it the local strip a few times, and I autocrossed it (my favorite) a few times. I hope to get a lot of information off of this forum, and I also hope to help out any way I can if people have questions that I might be able to share my experiences with.
Thank you everyone.

Welcome to our little corner of the web. You will learn alot on here. Sounds like you have some nice cars. Got any pics? You should post some up to show us. Make sure your G/F poses on the cars

Okay, you twisted my arm on the pictures. Now, the question is, how do I post pictures? I have a ton of pictures on some CD's at home (and on my PC's HD) so there are plenty of pictures to go around. I have some new pictures of the NOS kit on my Formula that I have yet to develop. I mounted the 15lb bottle in the spare tire well, and the nozzles are up front in the air lid. Right now I have the purge going out towards the front of the car down low, but I am going to mount the purge going out the hood of the car.
Now, can someone give me some directions on how to post pictures, I am not that computer literate?
Thanks for the remarks, I hope to help in any way I can.

Verdad Gallardo Hey 94LT1TA, I drove through Portland a couple of times on my way to Everette WA for the Western Washington Firebirds car show up there, that is a cool city during the day. How do you like it? I heard they have a lot of breweries up there. MMM BEEER!
SOM Formula, one of my favorite 4th gens ever. I'd like a SOM Formula Firehawk someday to add to the collection.
To post pics, when you reply go into the "advanced reply" mode and then there is a selection where you can manage attachments. It should upload the pics right off your PC unless the sizes are too big.

I like Portland. It is cool, I grew up here so I am used to everything. Next time you pass thru pm me and we can hook up or something.

Nine ball - I was this close (if you can't see my fingers, they are an inch apart) to ordering my Formula with the Firehawk package. My salesmen had one, so I didn't really want to copy, also, for $6K, I can put on some nice mods on my car. As much as I like the Firehawk, I like the sleeper aspect of the Formula. Of course now with my exhaust and the WS6 hood, I don't think it qualify's as a "sleeper" anymore.
94LT1TA- That would be great. Likewise if you come down, PM me and I will hook you up here in SAC. I even have cold beer on tap!

Man your car looks sweet! If I had to do it all over again I would have ordered my Formula in SOM. Mine is a '00 and that color wasn't available then. I bought off the lot one of the last available '00 Formula M6 hardtops in the southeast U.S. Dealer tried to sell me a Firehawk too, didn't have $$$ tho. Shoulda waited for the '01s. Missed out on LS6 intake too. 
Oh, well that'll teach me to be impatient.
