Did you just buy that formula? There was a really clean white 99 formula with 20 some thousand miles for sale recently on craigslist that i was eyeing for a while..it was also for sale at some chevy dealer last year right after i bought mine, was kinda pissed cause i couldnt find anything clean in the area so i flew to NY and drove mine home..then that one came up for sale go figure.

I was at Mt. Prospect tonight, from about 6:30 until the rain hit at 8:15 - glad I didn't bring the car. I didn't see either of you guys though. I did see a nice 30th anniversary Z28, and also Corvette Bob's new-to-him '94 Z28 in Purple Pearl Metallic (really nice car, only 29k miles) as he was leaving. Mostly I was at the far end of the show, close to the exit with my usual group. Sorry if I missed you guys, but I didn't check back here prior to heading out so I didn't know to look for you.

We were there for about an hour and a half, down near the end of the lot, my formula and his TA, didnt bother backing in just pulled in forward. We took off in a hurry when the rain started, good thing i live less than a mile away so got home before the streets got wet lol. I always fail to get pics of our cars in the lot but this is right before we got there..

We must have gotten there right before you and we parked all the way at the end of the lot. I did see the purple one but definitely didn't see one of yours ... prob good you didn't bring it. I spent a couple hours washing and waxing mine and of course the rain hit right before we left.

Yea just scooped it up. Spent 2 hours with a couple of 4th gen guru's going through it with a fine toothed comb to make sure it was as clean as advertised. Not a single panel was touched the only thing we found was the front bumper was repainted like every 4th gen I've ever come across. I couldn't pass on it as I was looking specifically for a hard top m6 white formula with low miles for about a year.

I only know of a pewter TA a few blocks away thats been sitting in the guys backyard for over a year..not much else in my neighborhood thats interesting though.

Not sure how I missed you guys, I spent the whole time in that same general area where you were parked, I guess I didn't quite make it to the very end though. I made it as far down as the dark gray 6th gen that belongs to my friend Eddie, which was parked next to Glenn's black '70 RS/Z28. You two must've been parked even further towards the end. Mostly I was over by the white C6 GS convertible (Harold), silver '79 Malibu (Steve) and dark red BBC Fox body coupe (Jeff.) Not sure if you know any of those guys/cars. I came with a daily driver and parked in the lot across the street, MP is about 15 miles from me so the drive home in the rain would've made a huge mess. I'd have to do a full restoration after something like that.

It is also my "fun" car so you probably won't see it often, nice days primarily or at union grove once in a blue moon. Can't make it tonight but I will likely make the MP show tomorrow.

I saw you at MP last night, sitting at the light at 83/NW Hwy, but I guess you were just leaving as I was getting there.

That was me. I must have just missed you. There was a fair amount of cars there yesterday I think i may have showed up a bit early. It seemed as after 6:30-7 is when a lot of people started shuffling in. I'll be back there next Saturday. Definitely stop by and introduce yourself.

!! Likely I will be there most Saturdays, so we'll catch up soon enough. I believe I saw the maroon notch with the big block that you gents were discussing above at the show before I left. Wow that car was clean. Thanks for the compliments on the formula. It is not perfect but for an almost 20 year old car it is as clean as I could have asked for.

These are the only decent shots I have so far. I do work quickly..unfortunately. This hobby is a sickness. The day I got the car my buddy said "you'll be in the 11's by august." In which I repliedwith: it is staying bone stock.. <- practicing restraint is easier said than done.

You'll have to wait a bit longer. It says my post will need to be approved by a moderator. I'm assuming because of the pictures I attached.
