A great local D.J., AND a live band? That's a first for me at a local cruise night. Pretty cool.

Red cars to the front! Being photographed for an upcoming issue of Cruisin' Magazine. The Fiero and both Trans Ams are club cars.

Man, you were all over the place today! Multiple car shows, definitely a lot of time outside in the heat/sun!

Gollings was Thursday, then MIFB Meet & Greet on Saturday!

TTA! Very nice young guy who spent quite a bit of time talking with me.

454 power! And service access was not worse, and maybe a little better than my 305.

A Formula with Vortech supercharger, TPIS throttle body and ??? intake (Accel? SLP?)

Love the silver stripes on white. Looks great in person.

Love this car!

Berlinetta!

There was another nice blue IROC, but he left before I made it around to get pictures.

This was quite a car. The guy did all his own work. 1200-some horse on the dyno. Crazy. But there's more to it that I'll tell you later.

A really good looking, clean early Z28.

A 17k mile creampuff!

This show kept changing, as folks came and went. This was a late arrival. I don't think I've ever seen a purple 4th gen before. It looked like it could have been factory paint, but I was never able to catch up with the owner to ask.

**DynoDave** · June 27th, 2022, 03:45 PM

Won his class, and Best of Show I think, or perhaps it was another special category. But the owner walked away with two of them, and deservedly so.

Synergy Green! One of the odd colors that I happen to love, especially the first year i was offered, because it got some color matched interior panels, which I thought did a lot for an interior that needed it.

This is where things started to get a little more interesting. This Z arrived later in the show, and I had missed getting a photo of it. So after lunch, I grabbed my camera and over to have a look. Nice car. I heard this gentlemen asking the owner what he paid for the car (he bought it when it was 1 year old). I think the answer was somewhere in the high $11k range. I mentioned that I had bought an Arctic White RS, L03, 5 speed, 16" wheels/tires, A/C, tilt, AM/FM/cassette, and rear window defogger...my first new car. A pretty plain car, but with my GM employee discount, it was just a shade over $13k. I looked up at the '91 RS shown in post #893...the one with the big turbo, and said, it was pretty much like that one. The owner of the white RS was standing there listening. I mentioned that try as I might, I couldn't help but damage the car. I only owned it a little over a year, and scraped the fender with a loaded snowmobile trailer a friend and I were trying to push through the snow, etched the edge of the hood with lovebug juice on a trip down south to a NASCAR race, and most telling, I burned a baseball sized hole in the carpet in the back installing a nice amplifier. The guy standing there asked where I'd bought it, and I told him Hamilton Chevrolet.

I mentioned that a member of the old GTA Source Page forum had run the VIN for me a few years back, and confirmed it was still registered locally, with someone in a specific town. The guy who owned the white RS said HE LIVED IN THAT TOWN. I asked him if it had the carpet damage, and he said not now, because he had changed the carpet out to get rid of a weird burn mark.

I took his name and number, and looked up the VIN when I got home. Of all the bad luck, the photo I took of his VIN (a number I used to have memorized, and yes it looked familiar) was too blurry to read. But I'd say there a very good chance this was my first new car, which I have not knowingly laid eyes on since 1992.

This RS one the third gen class. I places third.

When I got home, the wife said while the cars out, lets go for a ride. So we took a drive one county north.

I believe that's the Accel Super Ram, yeah. And I also think that guy knows my neighbor as I am pretty sure that's the third gen Firebird I've seen at his house before.

The Motor City Chapter of the Pontiac Oakland Club International held it's Motor City Summer Round-Up yesterday at Baker's in Milford. Beautiful sunny day with moderate temps. Several of our Michigan Widetracker's were there, along with some folks I met at our Spring Dust-Off car show a few weeks back.
