  • Five Time fourth gen guy in Grand Rapids

    Hi everyone! I am originally from Waterford, MI - have been in Grand Rapids since I got back from Seattle in 2002.

    My car history:
    1984 Trans Am:

    That became: http://www.flickr.com/photos/optilevers/87833369/

    Then I had a 1980 Firebird (no pics.)

    Sold both when I was in college - which I've regretted ever since.
    If anyone knows where that particular 84 TA is I would LOVE to know; it has a lot of sentimental value.

    Bought this 91 TA last year: http://www.flickr.com/photos/optilevers/4907714181/
    Was a little rough; so I sold it, and bought this 91 GTA:

    Which became this with some time and money:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/optilevers/6033530653/

    And then I bought this 91 convertible TA:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/optilevers/5844854803/
    Which quickly became this with some better rims:

    It is currently torn apart and being repainted Kia Tropical Red Metallic.

    My current cars looked like this at the Grand Rapids Metro Cruise last summer:

    I will likely have these two cars until I die.

    I am also occasionally into Fieros (have had an Indy and an 86 GT,) Mustang GTs (just sold my 95 vert) and 1991 Honda CBRs (on my second currently.)
    Nice to be here...ciao!

                            Wow, that is quite a list. You will fit right in. I would recommend looking into the "West Michigan Firebird Club". I am fairly new around here too. I have meet a few of the folks in that group and they are great people. www.wmfirebird.com They all communicate here.
