Default Oh no! Another n00b!

Yes, sorry, you all have one more n00b on your hands. Fortunately, I already have a pretty good idea of engine mechanics and such, so you won't see a lot of them from me. I currently own a 1999 Saturn SC2, and while I love her to death, she's just not able to excite me like she used to. I'm looking to get a 98-02 Trans Am WS6 because I love torque and RWD and my 4 banger is sadly lacking in both. Unfortunately, I only have $50 to my name, so it'll be a while before I buy one. In the meantime I'm saving every penny I make/find and it's going into my "Tim needs a WS6" fund. If anyone is in/around South Jersey, just give me a call and I'm always willing to hang out and/or help out with anything.

Yea, I'm really gonna need luck w/ the savings. I just went to Wawa to get a hoagie and some other snacks for the month (eaten sparingly), and I found out that $30 have mysteriously vanished from my account. Gonna check that out tomorrow, but it was probably from something last night from at/after the Dragonforce concert at the Troc. I'm also looking for a 2nd job for over the summer that pays better than $150/week. Not gonna get my WS6 any time soon with those kinds of wages.

Yea, I hope to see me soon in an LS1. I'd be uber excited to have her go sideways on me when I stomp it, especially since my saturn barely goes forward when I do the same thing. I've always wanted to experience the car shimmy side to side at WOT.
