I had to go with Kim on this one. I love the Formulas and hers is a particularly clean car. Looks even better now with the Ronals.

Kinda' Hard to 'stand out' in that crowd !! What a wide range of quality Thirdgens for us to choose from for our 2016 COTY. Nice work boys ! ( based on early voting, I voted for an underdog ! )

In case you haven't heard it recently Linson,...



Good Luck everyone !!

Thanks brother! That page kicks butt!!! My phone started going bonkers... I thought there was an amber alert or something, but it was just new followers and comments from that post. Message me or comment on something so I make sure to follow you back if I don't already.

2016 was a great mix of awesome 3rd gens! I was very honored to win COTM for October. Feels real good to be in the company of such high level Birds and Camaros. Thank you! I will continue to improve my Formula as time and funds allow.

I'd like to take the car that's in the lead out for a little spin, looks like it would be a blast to drive.
