Thumbs up Hello to all from Tennessee

Hi everyone,

Gotten on hear a few times, especially when I needed some tech help. Finally decided to join.

I traded my '99 Firebird a few weeks ago for an '02 SS 35th anniv., Rally Red w/silver graphics, etc.

Love f-body's and going fast. I've had 3 motorcycles in the past and figure this is the closest I'll get to having one again, at least for a while anyway.

If I had a million+ $$$'s...the '05 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren might be fun to kick-around in.

Thanks!

Not that my '99 Firebird was slow by any means, but going from my 6 cyl. to an '02 SS...WOW-WOW

Wish List...Someday- I'd like to add the '02 Yellow WS6 Chix Scratch gpx and/or '02 SOM Vert and/or '99 Hugger Orange Vert. But, plan on keeping my SS.

Welcome to the site... but please display the photo in a post ( http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y30...D/100_0065.jpg ) instead of in your sig... you need an image that's much less 'tall' for putting in the sig, the size limit for sig images is 500x150.

If you aren't able to get one the right size, set your photobucket album to allow public viewing and I'll make an image for you that's the correct size.
