  • MiFbody Meet & Greet in Detroit's Auto Examiner

    http://wwww.examiner.com/x-8811-Detr...m-MG-at-Bakers

    Baker’s of Milford is well known for their weekly car show, as every Sunday hundreds of classic and custom vehicles pack into Baker’s huge parking lot but last weekend Saturday brought the main event as MiFBody.com held their 6th annual Meet & Greet.
    There was a threat of rain on and off throughout the day but the occasional dark cloud was as bad as it got and the area’s Camaro and Firebird owners took advantage of the rain-free Saturday. The show is free and there is no required registration process – thus there was no official count but even at 2pm as the clouds were rolling in, the Baker’s lot was packed and cars continued to show up.
    At the end of the all day show, group founder Brian Meissen handed out the 20 awards, spanning every generation of the Camaro and Firebird along with some recognition for the non-F-bodies in attendance. The folks from Lingenfelter Performance Equipment even brought out a couple of their hot new 455TA based on the 2010 Camaro along with a LPE-modified Camaro. I was behind the white LPE 455TA when he pulled out on to Milford Road and it sounded awesome…

    Congratulations to everyone who brought their car out, for helping to make it a great display of vintage and modern GM muscle. Once again, Brian Meissen and the folks at MiFBody.com put on an awesome show at Baker’s of Milford.
    There were so many great looking cars there that just this piece doesn’t do the show any justice so along with the pictures in the gallery below, I will be putting together a look at some of the best (in my opinion) Camaros and Firebirds of the 6th Annual MiFBody.com Meet and Greet!

  • 2017 Meet & Greet - Supporting a new charity: International FPIES Foundation
    by meissen
    As some of you may know, about a year ago Angie and I moved to New Haven, MI - about 30 miles northeast of Detroit. In the past year, we've met a lot of great neighbors and one of them has a very unique story. The couple who live across the street from us have a son named Elliott who is battling two extremely rare conditions. First, he has what's called "FPIES" which essentially means he has an allergic reaction any time he ingests proteins found in food. Problem is - the protein is found in almost...

  • Happy Birthday MiFBody!
    by meissen
    11 years ago today our little chunk of the internet was born. Y'all know I'm a sentimental emotional guy, and this website has admittedly been one of my proudest achievements. What we have here means a lot to me - it's why I'm so passionate when it comes to trying to maintain the peace and kumbaya. This site is our spot to shoot the shit with fellow Camaro and Firebird cruisers and to get help and advice - whether it's on their car or personal lives. I know we rag on eachother a bit here and there,...
