After a long hiatus of not being able to work on my car, going to college, doing a 5 speed swap, and now two years after school, I'm ready to dive back into my Firebird head first!
I'm now living in Memphis, and going to be bringing the 'Bird up from Tallahassee, FL in a couple weeks to start wrenching again!
While away from the Firebird I drove a few different cars, and realized, a PT Firebrid is the only way I will be happy.
First is my DD a 2002 Subaru WRX - fun car, but lacks a LOT so after too much money in suspension it handled well! It was a very competitive Solo car in STX. Almost went to nationals in it.... but decided school was more important. I returned the car to stock and still use it as a DD.

Next, I built a 1995 M3 up from a shell to a complete car in 4 months, it's leaving the garage this week!

It was ok... I'll leave it at that.
I have since learned a lot about what makes a car handle, learned fabrication skills, and a LOT of driver skill. I am a lot more confident it working with my Pontiac to bring it into the 21st century!

Just wanted to drop a note and say Hi to all the original guys and to the new ones as well!
