Default Thanks everyone!

Just want to say thanks to everyone for your contributions to the forum and for the replies to the threads that I've started. I've only had my 93 since this past October and most of the time has been spent in the garage getting it in shape for my first full season (have I mentioned that I can't wait to drive this thing again?? ). That said, I have referenced this place almost daily as I work through my to do list and it's been a big help.

I remember when I was working on my 85 Trans Am back in the early 90's, If I got stuck I had to either make a call to someone in the know or wing it and hope for the best. Yesterday I needed to know the torque spec for the upper control arm bushing nuts and a quick advanced search got me my answer!

Mike

Great place for info. I have been helped a lot, too. The pictures and advice from fellow members have made it a lot easier on things I probably would not have attempted to do otherwise.

I've visited many other forums for different interests, but this forum is by far miles ahead of them! not just the great members who know or research the info we need, but the operational aspect of the forum as administrative changes, updates, tracking and admin help! it's easy to take it for granted until you try to work with the other forums...
