Hello from Chicagoland Hey all, I'm Mike from Arlington Heights, just outside of Chicago. I run my own computer network consuting business, but I really live for my cars.
Ever since I was a kid, I remember that 1970 LS6 Chevelle that they found in the '80s with 4,000 miles on the clock, and I swore if they ever made a cool car like that again I'd do the same thing. Well, when they came out with the SS's again in 1996, that's what I did. I ordered one, brought it home, broke it in, and stored it. It's still sitting there with 3,400 miles on it, waiting for me to cruise around in when I'm retired.
Since then I've had a string of F-bodies, as many of you have. I had a '94 Z28 M6, a '97 TA A4, and now for the last few years, a '99 Formula WS6 M6, which I bought to repent for the A4.
(Just kidding, A4 guys.)
Anyway, you can see my mods and some of my future plans in my sig. I'm interested in shows and cruises, so I'll be checking out the local section for that. Also, if anyone in the area needs a hand with things like headers, intakes, that kind of thing, I'd be happy to help out.

Honestly, if it wasn't for the mistake of selling a perfectly good f-body, you'd never have to buy another one to fix the mistake. I also used to buy new cars for the extra 10 or 20 advertised horsepower, before I realized that the downpayment was worth 50-100 hosepower on the old car.
