Nice Firehawk! Did you get that off Autotrader? I saw one a couple of months ago that looked just like it. I can't remember if it was a hardtop or not but I know they weren't asking much for it and it looked clean from the pics.

^^^^^I found it at a small car lot up in Maine, John D. Crafts was the guys name, Crafts Cars or something like that.

I was just talking about your car the other day with a couple friends, we all agreed that it's a pretty 'dope' Formula.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that is the same one I saw. It was a really good deal. I wanted it for the same reasons it was a Firehawk Formula and hardtop plus it was white . Nice car man it looks really nice.

Damn, those are all really nice cars. Theres something I really like about that SS, but I just can't figure it out. Its got the perfect stance. What springs were on it?

I really love all of the cars. You have very good taste. I wish I had the money and time to make my car look half as good as any of those.

Hotchkis, chopped a little bit if i remember correctly and hose mod in the back. I really want to do some custom race coilovers in the rear on the new one, so i can get it really low...but I'll probably end up with a Strano/Koni 4/4 combo. It's only about 800 more to have some coilovers set up for me.

I have been hearing a lot of good things about Twin Peaks in Frisco (Preston and Warren, southwest corner)but i haven't been yet.

There is also a place called The Holy Grail Pub about 1/4 south of 121 on Preston, east side...it's a pub so there are no girls running around in skimpy clothes, but the beer selection is extensive and their burgers are pretty good...they put pork stock on them, it's wonderful.

I'm up for whatever. I have been to the TP on Preston and there is some good scenery.
I think they have a decent happy hour also.
Im always up for a good pub also.

Do we want to do this on a weekday or the weekend?
