Re: August 2021 COTM "Open Season" **Voting Thread**

Just noticed that IROCN's Formula is an Indiana car as well. That's where I went to buy my Formula last month, Indianapolis, and drove it all the way back to Mississippi. Life is funny like that,...

Re: 1990 Firebird Formula - low production numbers

I wasn't going to drill it down past the two-tone paint, black cloth interior, T-tops and the LB9 / 5M. I agree that you can have a "rare" car if you've got the only Formula that didn't have a...

Re: 1990 Firebird Formula - low production numbers

Thanks for the update. Robert has 7 and CompNine has 5, that's interesting. I knew it was low production based on the options ... I was just curious if anyone else on 3GO had the sister to this car...

Re: 1990 Formula (SOLD)

Purchased by me. Drove to Indianapolis, IN this past weekend, drove the Formula back. Awesome all original survivor. Needs some TLC but what 31 year old car doesn't. It was great to meet John!

Last time I checked, it was about $30 a month, full coverage, through State Farm for my '90 Formula. That was before I dropped insurance and parked it for 14 months. Clean record, multi-car...
