  • New to F-Bodies... Milford, MI

    New to the F-Body. I picked up a V6 Camaro as a daily driver. Have a garage queen of a Marauder... I rolled through the meet-n-greet today but couldn't stop as I had to make some plans.

    Purchased the M5 V6 as I wanted to get decent fuel economy. First tank I averaged 28.6mpg... Going to setup lean cruise and dial in the car for MPG. Anyways here are some pics...

    So far I have a double din setup coming from Double D, stubby antenna for a Z06 and fresh tint all the way around...


    Also a little about me!!!

    Occupation: Vehicle Calibration Engineer (I play in a car all day with a laptop), my specialty is OBDII. I am the guy whom turns on your check engine light for emissions. Vehicles I have personally worked on and calibrated..

    Chrysler, GM, Ford, Subaru, Jaguar, Chang An, Mercedes Benz, McLaren... I am sure there are more. Wish I could disclose more but you know how companies are about this.

    I am a Detroit'er for life. Born and raised here. I have had over 30 cars so far, maybe more! I am never happy with what I have, however I seem to have found two cars which I am sticking with for a while.

    I grew up in a local car repair shop, Dan and Chucks Kar Kare in Redford, MI. Family owned and operated for 40 years, proud of my father for this.

    Girlfriend is an inventory control specialist at a local auto parts warehouse, so I get most items at warehouse cost... which is nice!!


    On to the pics.

      Yeah, those things will bang out near 30 mpg all day.

      Good choice for a DD.

          Gorgeous cars! Are you part of Motorcity Marauders? I used to be friends with two guys that were really active in the Marauder club -- Big Slim had a silver supercharged Marauder that used to spank Ford GT's at the strip. And Mike had a black supercharged Marauder - I think he still has it.

                    I figured there was someone locally in Milford. Really liking the F-body. Been tempted to ditch the Marauder for an SS...
