New Guy from Ft. Hood
Whats up everyone, names Nick I'm a combat engineer in the army, deployin to iraq here soon just lookin to keep in touch with some people that enjoy the same things I do. I own a 2006 GTO, not much done to it other then a spoiler delete kit, lookin to stroke it to a 402 when I get back home and I figured what better place to try to find discount or cheap parts then this place and it also seems like a place to make some friends too.

Heck that is different..... your wife wanting the computer for Facebook, just tell her her face is lovely as it is or go check in the mirror and leave you to more important things. Oh by the way, it pays to have a sense of humor on here or a very thick skin,just wait until you meet Uncle Bob.

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for serving. Hopefully the site will give you some mental diversion while in country, and some ideas about your gto when you return unless you decide to scratch build something by then Travel safe.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

You can't believe anything those guys from N.Z. tell you.............they're drunk all the time and have an unnatural fondness for farm animals.
Welcome aboard and be careful in the sandpit.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Oh Oh. Wait a minute ....... I am one of those older members.
Tell me, does being based at Fort Hood qualify a person to be a Texan?

Welcome aboard Nick; Lots of great folks on here.
I hope you enjoy the site, it's a great place for car lovers.
We have folks on here that can answer just about any car question you can come up with. But I ain't that person, I am still learning and those folks still let me hang around and annoy them. There is no shortage of Vets on here either.
I am a ex Army Sniper from way back in the 80's.
Enjoy the site Kurt

Gorgeous! That sucks you're having FI issues, but it seems there's always bugs to work out no matter how hard you try to make it perfect.
