For those wondering, I have a dark blue 87 firebird formula with a 86 hatch. It has tinted windows and a big white bird on back glass.

I'll soon be moving to the area and working at the power plant near 10 and I-95. Good to know that there'll be others in the area.

In Richmond. Well one place you definitly want to be is Turner and Midlothian. Go there on a Fri or Sat night and just light em up at that light. You will get plenty of action.

Re: Richmond, Virginia

Its been along time since I was at Turner and midlothian, I used to live on midlothian back in the day (1990ish). How bad are the cops down there? I remember when there wasnt but maybe one or two cops every other week.

Re: Richmond, Virginia

They have some pretty fast cars there. They will be sitting in the lot on the right if your comming from Richmond. Alot of 2007 Caprice in the mix! All domestic! Just look for the sign that says, State Police Headquarters. You will definitely lose your money.

Re: Richmond, Virginia

89formula how is nova? I used to live all over nova from 2000 to 2004, back in 2001 I lived at massaponix (forgot how to spell it) but I lived right behind that gas station in the townhousing complex with a red 97 camaro I just got rid that thing 9 months ago when I got my 89 camaro. I remember when they were first building that walmart; I worked at the walmart in central park for a few months but I was living in richmond at the time since the management didnt allow me to transfer so I just quit; didnt want to work a walmart anyways.

Re: Richmond, Virginia

Will not pass the big sniff huh. Come down to Richmond, only about an hour drive. Keep on 95 thru Richmond to Chippenham. Get on Chippenham Second exit is Rt 1, Jefferson Davis Highway South. Stop at any inspection station there on the left. Noone snifs up here.LOL But if you have bald tires or need brakes, will not pass.

Re: Richmond, Virginia

I'm a little slow on this one. Don't get much time to check in. I live in King William and would be willing to drive north or south to hook up with some other third gen folks. A few years ago a bunch of us used to go to Manassas about once a month to meet up. It kinda faded out after a while or I just got too sidetracked to keep up.

My car can be seen here.
