I found this site a few months ago, and I've been meaning to register ever since.

My name is Mike, I'm from Newport, RI, and I own a 2000 Firebird, Navy Blue Metallic/tan leather interior, with the A4. She's got 78k, I bought her Aug '07 with 65k.

All stock except for a SLP lid and '02 Speedlines, and I have a FTRA kit that I'm going to install this weekend hopefully.

I love F-Bodies in general, but have been partial to Formulas for a long time now. My first Formy was a black '98 M6 HT, I bought it in '00 with 28k. I ended up trading it for a Jeep in '01...BIG mistake. I love the Jeep, but always missed the 'Bird. Well, I finally made it right.

Well, here she is!

Welcome to the Source!

Nice car. Always fun to get a dream car isn't it?

Welcome Mike. Beautiful car. But then,it is a Firebird!

Click to view attachment Nice formy mike, keep it away from jeep dealers

Welcome and nice formie you've got there. I'm actually from Rhode Island, but have been living in northern VA (right outside DC) for a long time now. All my family is living in Cranston and Warwick...so next time i'm up there i'll let you know maybe we can meet up at chat about fbodies haha!

to another bird with tan interior. You'll find there aren't many of them. Nice looking car.

Yeah, it is! I really missed the '98 all these years, it's like I got my baby back and finally righted a wrong. This one is actually nicer than the '98 too.... no t-tops on the '98!




Definitely! I'm always up for meeting other owners and F-Body chat!



Thanks! You know, I never really liked tan interior, but when I saw it on this car, with the navy blue, I fell in love. I REALLY, REALLY like this color combo that I have.

Thanks for all the compliments, everyone!

I plan on posting some better pics soon, I'm going to be giving her the full claybar and wax treatment this week.

No kidding, huh?

That problem is solved though, with these gas prices, no way I'll be getting another Jeep.......although I really like the new Wranglers!

Besides, I still have the first one. It comes in handy sometimes, especially the winter, and is reliable as hell (knock on wood). Actually, if I didn't have this for the snow, I wouldn't have bought the 'Bird.

to TFS Mike. I hope you enjoy yourself here. Congrats also on getting another baby.

I do have one favor to ask, can you please fill in your Tech Tool Tray with the information about your car? We ask you to do this incase you post any questions about your car so that we have some basic info to go on such as auto or manual tranny, any mods it has, etc. Thanks

Awesome, i have tan interior on a red car...i haven't seen any like it so far. I wonder how i could check to see how many others were made like it...hmmmm

Nice car...same color as my '02.

I also have the Jeep bug....an '84 CJ and a '96 Cherokee Sport.

They are way more fun in the mud than my Formula.

Nice Bird (and Jeep, for that matter). I've got tan interior, too but it's cloth.

Love the navy blue!
