New to Laredo and new to Camaro

LaredoZ · 08-17-2014, 11:38 AM

Hi, fellow Camaro enthusiasts

First, I want to give a really big THANK YOU to the administrators, supporters/vendors, and other users of this site! While I was shopping for my car, and before I even created an account on here, I did a lot of research through these pages. It was, and continues to be, a great resource!

I moved to Laredo, TX, recently, and I just bought a 2013 ZL1, a few weeks ago. I'm hoping to join the Laredo 5thgen Camaro group, and get involved in events all over the South Texas area. I consider myself to be a "car guy". My goal is to own one of every muscle car, before I die. So far, I've crossed Mustang (GT and Cobra), Trans Am, GTO, and now Camaro from my list. But I'm not a mechanic. I wouldn't even say that I'm an amateur mechanic

I just pick up little bits of theoretical knowledge, along the way. Unfortunately, that means most of you will be a lot more help to me than I can be to you, but I'll do my best to pass along any news, sales/good deals, or potentially useful advice I come across.

Although it is still 100% stock, I'm excited to be able to (barely) afford my ZL1!

So, here are the first pictures I've taken of it (it doesn't even have the front license plate, yet, but I plan to add a bracket, that I found in these forums) :

My next goal is to set up my signature/tag line/whatever it's called

Thanks for reading!

By the way, A.VEE.BEE, your topless picture made me

Thanks! I plan to attend some events up in San Antonio, too. So, I hope to see you and some of the other camaro5.com members up there.

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands, girlfirends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!
