About this Current Vehicle:
I bought this car October 24th, 2001 after seeing it across the street sitting on a used car lot when I was with a friend who was buying a car. It was almost closing time but I wanted to go and look at the car anyway. As I pulled into the lot I saw the lower spoiler and hoped it wasnt a V6 which I didnt want. Thankfully it was a Formula but an M6. I'd taken a "lesson" in a 98 Camaro SS earlier that summer so I went ahead and bought the Formula with 25k miles on it. Sadly I couldnt drive it home and just had to sit in the passenger seat while my friend drove it home. That weekend though I practiced and by Monday morning I was driving it to work. The car has gone through quite a few transformations which I will post pictures showing soon.

Love the paint

Thanks! Sadly there is one old polaroid of my mom's Mach 1 and my brother had it last. It wasnt that great of a pic either....just of it coming up the driveway. Sucks they didnt have digital back then.
Keep up the hard work. Do you have any pictures of you Mom's Mach 1 that you can scan?? would be ineresting to see your insperation from back then. See you DC in FLA.
Thanks

Spectacular looking car. I've seen it before on f-bodyhideout. Outstanding. Congrats on the recent recognition for a job well done.
CONGRATS ON YOUR CAR IN THE MAGAZINE. THATS QUITE AN ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!!!!!
Thanks! I forgot about the tech calendar :p. We've been busy with our photography business we just started up. We've been taking pics of 5th Gens like crazy! We're also putting out a 2010 '10 Camaro calendar.
Michelle, congrats on the GMHTP article, and being the November car in the LS1tech calendar, your car is definitely worth it.
Congrats on the GMHTP shot - I just saw it this afternoon, I said "I know that car - looking good as always!
