Default Newb from Florida

Hi all, new to the forums and to LSX's just replaced my mudstang with a BGC (Blue Green Chameleon) 2001 Formula, looking forward to learning something new (GM's) since I've been Ford for many years.
I'm 30 min west of Gainesville if you dont know where Trenton is.
I'm originally from Daytona, moved to Colorado in 03 and transferd with my job back to Florida in 07.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.
love the "turd replacement" comment, the wife thought it was funny as hell too.
Thanks again guys, looking forward to asking questions and learning from you all.

"plans for the car" not too sure yet, shes bone stock.
a better exhaust note is a thought, not really sure which route to go first but I'm sure I will be able to get some great advice here.
