Washed and waxed yesterday. I absolutely love this thing. I can't wait for the first track day. I'm still shopping for what exhaust system I want.

It appears we got our cars the same weekend. Was yours on Saturday, November 28th too?

I'll be taking mine to Rich's for a full detail soon.

We came to the Pacific Northwest for a vacation summer of 2012 and loved it here. Decided to make it home. Arrived in March 2013 - still love it here even with all the rain. We live in Tualatin.

The Camaro Club scene isn't very big here compared to Arizona. There are a few events which always seem to conflict with what I have going on. I hang out with a bunch of Corvette / Camaro enthusiasts who autocross every year from May through September the Sanderson Field airstrip in Shelton, Washington. Check out http://www.nwacconline.com, click on autocross for details. Anyone can come out and run.

Look forward to meeting you sometime.

Autocross would sure be fun. I'm too afraid of damaging the car though.

Don't be afraid to learn car control. Hitting a cone is minor. I'm getting excited to take the Camaro on a road course.

I will probably be running with Hooked on Driving or the BMW club. They have events at PIR, ORP, and the Ridge

First mod should be tint. 3M Color-Stable. 50% full windshield, 20% everything else. That would look ultra mean.

I will get tint eventually. Money go towards a catback. I just want to hear that V8!

Magnaflow makes a great muffler delete with nice 6" tips.

To really wake it up, though, you need long-tubes too.

I'll have some noise in the next week or two once I get around to installing it
