Hey guys new to the site, and kind of new to the base. I got to DM back in Jan. I've got an 87 Firebird white with orange stripes. I've seen just about all these cars ya'll talked about. There's also a guy in my shop w/ a 98 camaro with the ls1 and 6 spd. I've seen a lot of nice f-bodies on base. I actually joined the site to sale my car, but haven't had any bites. I think it's going to be too hard to get it stickered here in AZ... perks of being military, it's still stickered in TX. Do you guys ever meet up? that and where and when can I take in some good car shows around here?

I'll post some pics, so if you guys see me around... Don't hessitate to stop and talk. I enjoy talking shop with other gearheads!











I live on base and hardly ever drive the car off base. So if you see me more then likely it'll be on base.

Have any of you ever gone to the in-n-out burger on Broadway on Saturday nights??? I know it's like the Sanora muscle car hang out... But I was just wondering if it is something worth crusing by and checking out?

hahaha 99WS7 just left Dyess to go to DM that's kinda funny....

Dyess it not that bad, better then it was 6-7 yrs ago.... Outside the base the car culture is not to bad... Usually see alot of cars on the weekends during the summer, but it has gone down hill a little due to folks getting orders

that **** is dead and it was awful, just awful... we need a real group in tucson...sonoran doesnt do ****...just **** talk and bash on eachother...i rarely find a intelligent conversation on that forum...but i continue to hope that maybe one day they will have a hangout or event..but so far it looks to be in vain.

bumping a old thread i know.

i'm looking at trying to PCS to DM and wondering what you guys did for emissions. out here at offutt we dont have that issue and i've taken advantage of that for the 9 years i've been here so needless to say my car has no gear on it at all.
