Talking another newbie!

Just thought I would drop a few lines and introduce my self.

My name is Amber, I am almost 23 and live in NW Arkansas.

I drive a 2002 Sebring Silver z28. I have a tranny work done, and no other major mods at the moment. Right now due to an unfortunate accident, the car is in "jail" (the body shop) but shall be back in my driveway in no time.

I've only been part of the board since April, but JRP is a great knowledgable guy as far as i'm concerned. He is the "search ****" though.

It wasnt my choice to leave CA to come to AR ... I was too "young" at the time to stay back there alone ..... but I grew up in Southern CA .... lived in Palmdale before leaving CA .... grew up down at Santa Monica, Venice, BH, Hollywood and down in San Franando Valley (i.e. Reseda, Northridge, etc.) I go back at least once a year. All my parents other then my parents are out in Cali still. Well besides my bro that is in the Army

On the tranny -- I have the stock A4 Tranny with some work done to it, by a guy in Cali - cant remember his name but he is in Camarillo. He did the tranny in my sisters Vette so I brought him my car to do last April.

The accident wasnt too bad. Just have to basically cosmetic BS, but it is costing out my ***. Plus dealing with Insurance people has been a bitch and I have been with out my car since November. I shall have it back in it's rightful home in NO TIME! I broke my hand in the accident and smacked me head on the ttops, hurt my back a bit and got some nice whip lash. Also hurt my ankle a bit, for the most part I am healed. I have occasional pain in my hand where I broke it but that is usual!
