My name is John

I have a 2001 WS6 T/A, and an 1989 Formula 350.  
DD’s are a 2005 Sunfire Sport and one broken 96 VW Golf…

I usually make it to some of the local cruises in the area and the car show in Oakmont in June.

I try to get out to PRP for T&T as many times as **possible** (rain outs) during the season.

Hope to meet some of you at shows, or the track!

Thanks for the welcome! I did finally find this site and register…

My Vdub decided to partially strip the teeth on the timing belt. So I went out and bought the 05 Sunnyfire. I will get the dub back on the road though.

I really like the SOM when it was announced. It reminded me of an old Vette color I saw when I was a kid. I think it was Cinnimon Fire Mist Metallic. I agree, WS6 look great in that color!

Yep, GM incentives and owner loyalty plus factory warranty. Now I do not have to fix it if it breaks. At least for a while. Besides it would be no fun changing out that belt in the snow.

I like having brand new cars! I really do like the Sunfire. I did not expect it to be as nice as it turned out to be. I would not have an auto so they found this one M5 in Zelienople. The only other M5 car was in Maryland. I would have taken that one (Electric Blue with sunroof) but it had the factory graphics on the sides and I really did not want to go down that road.

Hey John,  
Whats up. Its Brandon(from new ken). Remember I followed you out to the track a couple of times. Well its almost that time again. Have you done anything to the car since last year? I remember you had some heads you were gonna install.  
I ended up purchasing another 10 bolt with 3.42s from a gut at LS1Tech. Thats about all I did since last year. I bought a GTO as well so I will be alternating cars this year at the track. Talk to ya soon. Is your blackberry number still the same?  
I will get in touch with you once the weather gets nicer.  
Later  
Brandon

Brandon, sounds great. You picked up a Goat too! I have not yet started on the H/C, but am planning on this when the weather breaks this spring. I have just been talking with Mike over at Rapid about tuning once I get everything installed. My Blackberry is still the same.
