Default Newb from Central IL

Hey guys just joined, and thought I would see whats up. Dont own an LSx yet though that will change soon enough (hopefully, kinda hard with that college budget ya know). Father does have an 08 LS3 Vette though and a 67 Camaro, so I do have a few GM toys to take out every once in awhile, just want to get my own...preferably a 4th gen Camaro. So sorry for the rant, thats about it, if theres anyone from the Central Illinois area please give me a shout out, thanks...

Actually, to be honest, the fam is in the car business so I do not technically own anything right now...I usually drive half-ton Rams, though right now I got an LS4 Grand Prix (cough, torque steer, cough) lol. Just hoping to find a decent F-body that I can call my own and mod the heck out of it...

Welcome, from a fellow Illinois member. I'm only a little over an hour away. I actually just drove by Morton, on 74, not too long ago on my way to and from Champaign, to buy my Z28.
