Default Newbie on Guam!

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Brian. I've been in the Navy now for 3 1/2 years, currently stationed on the island of Guam. I just recently bought a black 2004 GTO 6 speed! The only down fall is I cannot see it for 5 more months till I get stationed in WA. I've bought a few after market parts like JBA headers, Borla exhaust, and a AEM cold air intake. I posted a comment under newbies with a few questions if you want to check it out. I'm definetly a newbie in the performance car world but it has been something I've always been interested in. Look forward to meeting you all. Take it easy!

-Brian

Welcome to the mother load. If if you think about modding on up you have come to the storehouse of all LSX knowledge. However you buddys that are buying the Mustangs and STIs are dumping major funds on their cars. If they all don't kill theirselves within a week of the pickups from the major performance shops when they get back. Your gonna have some serious competion runniing around when you get back.

I was there again here recently on the way back from kuwait. I remember drinking, walking forever looking for american chinese food, drinking, hanging out at the P.I.C. water park and drinking. My room at the PIC was almost at the top and had an awesome view of the reef. I don't remember seeing a single f-body though.
