I'll be at the Bloomington Cruise on the 12th. I've got a lady to show my car for me. There were 2 other f-bodys on April 14 but they looked like they were just purchased and they didn't stick around too long. Weather kinda sucked.

Got some buddies with F-bodies as well. Got my 02 WS6 I can push and some other buddies have a 02 SS, 02 WS6, 01 Z28. The others are Stangs.

Might see me in my pewter 02 GMC Sieara SB RC with a cowl hood and roll pan. My DD.

You guys probably saw me last year at the later TCC. I had the loudest F-body there. Red WS6 with black bird stripes. I was parked next to my buddy who had the 87 LX...blue with sliver flames. Couldn't have missed that car coming in!!!

Yeah I was at bdubs last sat night and there was a lot of stupid stuff going on. People doing donuts in the parking lot, FWD cars doing reverse donuts, and then eventually the cops showed up. Sorry, not my kind of crowd...

I think I'm gonna get my junk out Saturday night, so if any of you wanna hang out let me know. I usually just go up to Friar Tucks or whatever but I just hang out with some of the other older guys like me. I like when the cops show up, all the kids run like its a ******* drug bust. I stand there and if they ask me to leave I do, but the last thing you wanna do is draw negative attention to yourself by taking off.

Lets get some of you Bloomington guys and what not too, get some REAL cars for once! I haven't had my car out much this year, I might even wash it.

Wow. It sounds like all of the sudden we have a ton of F-bodies coming out of the wood work this year. That's pretty cool. I would like to strongly suggest coming out to the TCC on May 12. It'd be a blast to see that many show up!

On a side note, I'm wondering if the driver of a white SS Camaro with black hockey stripes is on this board. I have seen his car a couple of times heading down Oakland Ave from Veterans and thought it looked and sounded very nice. Anybody know him? Wondering what kind of exhaust he has.

Is it a LT1 car? I know that guy....he's from Heyworth. It has SS hood, spoiler, and newer tailights, and hocky stripes on it. It's a GMMG cat-back...can't remember what's up front. He has a nice yellow 02 GMC Sieara RCSC with a 6.0L in it with a cam. That truck has black hockey stripes on it as well. Pretty cool guy.

Yeah that's the one. I didnt know it wasnt a true SS. At any rate, I think it's sharp and sounds pretty mean.

Yea, the midwest forum used to be empty as far as Central IL goes, and now their seams to be a lot of new guys showing up - I'm pretty recent myself, bought the car in June of 06, got my liscense in August. Lookin forward to meetin up with everyone at the TCC meets.
Also- does anyone know if there's a place in Bloomington that fills nitrous? i'm looking into an NX Dry kit. Not that it's a deciding factor, but how much/lb.

Man, you are really lucky! To have that kind of power for a 1st car and then to throw on a nitrous kit? I got stuck with an 83 Caprice Classic station wagon as my 1st set of wheels. That thing would barely achieve the speed limit if it drove off a cliff. So without me having to use the search feature what year/model/color do you have and what all have you done to it so far?
