Great place to start is the library, read, read and read some more. Read about cars, the history, oils and viscosity, maintenance, etc. Also the internet has a wealth of information. Then get into the tools- go to hardware stores, Harbor Freight and look at the different tools. Also go to the parts stores and browse, look around at all the parts oils, accessories, etc.

When I was very young- in my teens I became fascinated with cars, engines, what makes them run, how to maintain and repair them, etc. I was hooked very young and back them there was no internet so I lived at the library and read every book I could get my hands on about cars, trucks and engines. I then bought tools- every week for a year or two and today have a nice collection of tools and roll aways that I will pass on to my son.

Cars may be your passion too- you will find out. But beware while it's my passion, it's my weakness too. I have a ton of experience but still learning even today in my 60's. Some cars are good, some not, some mods good, some not. I have owned many, many cars over my life time- some are great stories, some are horror stories. But there's nothing better and more satisfying than spending time when you want to- working on your car, detailing it, modding it- and doing it the right way. Working in your garage, keeping it neat and clean, organized- it's your man cave. So run with it, learn as much as you can! You have a great car for a platform- V6 RS- hopefully you have the manual transmission too- V6 RS with M/T is the best Camaro to buy in my opinion. Great performance, great engine, great looking car- and it runs on plain ole regular unleaded- low cost operation and maintenance. Add some really nice tires and wheels, top of the line struts, intake and exhaust!
