Default New guy here

Hey,

My name's Rob and I just joined recently. I don't have a LS1 (unfortunately), but I do have a Camaro. It's a 2002 pewter v6. If I weren't in college and money wasn't as big an issue, I'd probably have a LS1. Until graduation, I'll just stick with the v6. I thought I could join, learn a little about LS1's (for after graduation and I get a stable income to get my own), and maybe pick up a few parts you guys may be selling that I could use . I threw a few pictures on the web of my car (if you care to look at it): pictures. There's 9 pictures at 640x480 resolution, so it shouldn't be too bad for dialup people.

Guess that's it,
Rob

Thanks for the comment on the photos. The car was still a little wet from melted frost and I'd forgotten how dirty it was under the hood .

And about the sig, I thought that was funny too. I'm glad someone appreciates my humor.

Yeah, not the cleanest engine compartment I've seen photos of, but there's plenty worse Didn't notice the outside moisture; the exterior photos all look nice to me... got some interesting angles too.
