Default Hello from DFW

Hey guys/gals,

I've been reading LS1tech for about 6-8 years now and finally am joining after purchasing my first LS powered car. I've been looking for about 6 months to find the right car and finally found it. It's an '05 with an '06 rear end and otherwise completely stock. It's in very good shape, which was the reason this was the car for me.

Previously I've owned an AWD DSM (sold in '05). As anyone can tell with those cars, you have to be handy with the wrench, so I'm not a complete rookie in that area. I went through several engines/trannys etc rebuilds. I loved it and hated it at the same time.

I live in the Plano area around DFW.

I lost my "good" camera a while back so all I've got of it is this iphone picture. I haven't taken real pictures of it yet.

Looking forward to meeting some of you.

-Trent
