Hey guys! I'm new to piston heads so I thought I'd throw a thread out about myself and for others to do the same. I drive a 98 Pontiac Firebird. I'm a college student at Arizona State University. So what do people come to piston heads for? Anything and everything or is PistonHeads known for something?

Hi how are you?

I came here to research TVRs initially, but realised I also liked making sweeping statements and annoying people unintentionally. The grammar lessons are good too biggrin

Welcome, you must always carry the following in your car;

1) Custard, for the photo location thread
2) Can of Red Bull, to use as a missle in the event of a road rage incident.

Hi wavey

Reason I joined was because of my car & looking for other owners who could help me out when I needed it.

Welcome - I generally read threads to see what the motoring chatter is about and then realise that there isn't any and it is just this bunch being objectionable for the sake of it.

Oh, by the way, I hate the mis-use of apostrophes. Just thought I should warn you.
