Hello, everyone! I'm new to the site, but not new to F-Bodys, LT1's, or automotive-based forums! I heard about this site from a friend over on MIFBody.com, and thought I would check it out. I'm also active on several other forums, and I use only two user names, 93formulalt1 and 06camarodude (came up with that one when I owned my '94 V6 Camaro).
Well, I guess I'll share a little about my automotive history first. My first *drivable* car was my 1995 Buick Roadmaster, which had an LT1/4L60E. It was the Sedan, not the wagon. We always called it the RoadMonster, but I can only assume that if it was the wagon, it would have been called the "Shaggin' Wagon." After I was rear-ended by a blind old lady and my car was totalled, I 'inherited' my dad's work truck, which was a 1996 4.3 V6 Blazer with broken 4WD. That was a fun vehicle, it ran great, and I gave it back to my dad when I bought my '94 Camaro. I owned the Camaro for a couple of years, and recently (June '07) upgraded to my current vehicle, my '93 Pontiac Formula. I've racked up about 15k miles on the Formula since I bought it, and it has been rather good to me. I haven't done much to it since I bought it, it already had a Flowmaster muffler on it, and I have installed a set of chrome '98 Corvette "Wagon Wheels" and Falken 452 series rubber on it, lowered it with an Eibach ProKit, installed a full stereo system (about 1,400 watts currently, will be 2,000 watts when I finish it next week), and began building a custom CarPC for the vehicle, a project whose progress has been brought to a screeching halt by my dog's inability to tell the difference between a chew toy and electrical wiring. . .
Anyway, here are some pics of my Pontiac, which I know you all want to see. . . Pardon the dirt, I just pulled these out of my Photobucket account, I'll get some better pics after I get new rims, paint, body panels, etc. . .
