Eight years ago the site was started on a simple "Why doesn't Michigan have our own FBody site when other states do?" 8 years later, 2500 members, tons of bandwidth per month, etc. It's amazing what we all have built here. I know I've said it in the past, but it needs to be said again -- anyone can throw a forum on the internet and hope it does well. But it's everyone on here that makes it home, that makes us all a second family. I never thought 8 years ago that I would find a second family here, but Angie and I definitely have, and it's one of the most rewarding parts about this site. Just like any other site, we have our drama and our disagreements - but I challenge everyone to compare us to any other forum out there and ask if they're as close knit as we are or if they have as little drama as we do. As a lot of you know and experienced first hand - 2012 was very challenging and we lost great friends last year. The latter portion of the year was very hard for Angie and I, but you guys on here are one of the main reasons why Angie and I didn't lose our sanity. Angie jokes about how we have no private life - that our lives are played out on Mifbody, and to a lesser extent on Facebook, but having such a strong support network on here helped us through our hard times immensely. I try not to brag too much about the site here and what we have, but you guys make me proud to be the one who started the site, and I hope you all are proud of our home here and take ownership of what we've built too. Again - without you all, we'd just be a boring blip on the internet.

Happy 8 Year Anniversary to Michigan FBody, and let's hope 2013 is a better year for all of us.

For those that have been around year to year, you know on the holidays I like to write a heartfelt message. Well - this year is no different. If there's one thing that I think all of us on Michigan FBody has learned over the past 6 months it's that life is short. Every day we're above ground is a blessing, and tomorrow is the official day to be thankful for it. But let's be honest - every day we should be thankful for what we have, for another day to be around, and another day to spend with loved ones. We never know when it will be gone.

In addition to the normal things to be thankful for - family, friends, health, wealth (mentally/emotionally/spiritually), I also want to take the time this Thanksgiving to be thankful for knowing Mike Greenan, for having the opportunity to be friends with Tom Halley, and for Baby Meissen guiding us to Angie's tumor growing inside her. The past 6 months have been trying for a lot of us - from the aforementioned to Ken's diagnosis of cancer - we've all leaned on each other at times when we needed strength and support. For that I am truly forever thankful for everyone here on this site. We may ***** at each other, we may quarrel with disagreeing opinions on politics, technologies, engines, or brands but through it all we've always been here for each other and that means a lot to me - that's the environment I am proud to have here.

With that - please take the time to reflect on what you're thankful for this weekend, be sure to let those who matter know, and at least for a few moments try not to take advantage of what we have because it can all be gone in a heartbeat.

Please don't drink and drive, please buckle up, and have a great Thanksgiving everyone.

I just got the worst news from Brenna. Tom passed away last night.

He had a bad asthma attack and the ambulance didn't make it in time.

I'll provide details when they become available, but please pray for Brenna and the Halley family.

I love you Tom... Gonna miss you bud

Wow - Don't even know what to say right now because I'm so shocked. Gaspo sent me a PM saying that he got a phone call from Mike's girlfriend that he was in the hospital after throwing his back out and that he somehow passed away... I'm not sure of the specifics right now, just passing along the news. Once I find out more I'll be sure to post arrangements and what not. Unbelievably sad news.


Rest in Peace Mike.

Some of you may remember Drew from the early days of 2006 - here's his Camaro out on Woodward!



I have to say - what Drew is doing is really cool. I really admire the fact that he is trying to do good for Detroit -- not too many people our age would be willing to do the same. When I was watching the news cast on WDIV, Local 4 Detroit, I was trying to think of how I could help -- the only way I know how right now is to help promote his cause on our site. So here's the video - be sure and check it out!

Great job Drew!

Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association!

We are Michigan's all-generation, all FBody website. We are not a club - we do not charge membership fees, we do not demand participation. We are an association - a group of car buffs from Michigan who have one thing in common: a passion for the F-body platform. Since we're an association, we support local area clubs like the Western Michigan Camaro Club, the Eastern Michigan Camaro Club, and the Western Michigan Firebird Club. We're a website to socialize on and we do have car shows and meet ups, but we recognize that sometimes clubs can offer a little more if that's what you're after.

Michigan FBody is known nationwide for our premier all-FBody event in Milford, MI -- the Michigan FBody Meet & Greet. As of 2012, we're on our 8th year and still going strong. We strive to be the best one day FBody show in the Great Lakes region. Each year we have seen exponential growth - up to 400 FBodies all in one spot! What started out as a humble gathering of 25 to introduce new members has blown up into a yearly car show that many look forward to.

For Detroit area members, we usually hang out on Woodward on Fridays and Saturdays during the cruising season. We've been known to be out with our winter jackets on, and we're also known for bringing a bunch of camp chairs and having milk and brownies while we watch cars cruise by! People of all ages are welcome to join, we have members from 14 to 80.

Michigan FBody is a social website. We are a forum to socialize with each other on various topics, and we have quite a few members who are knowledgeable on the mechanics of our cars. If we don't know the answer, we'll point you in the right direction! We're your one stop shop to find out about car shows in your area, clubs you can join, cars and parts for sale, and lastly - a great place to kick back and relax.

So what are you waiting for? Join today and see what the Michigan FBody Association is all about! It's free, it's fast, it's fun!
