Talking Newbie in the DFW area

Hey, I've been reading the boards for about 6 months, about as long as I've had my LS1. Owned an LT1 beforehand, but switched from the auto to 6 speed just cuz I like rippin through the gears. Just thought I'd say hey to all the TX folks and those in the DFW area. I'd like to get to know some of the DFW guys around here so feel free to shoot me an IM sometime.

To answer your question Joe, it's a black hardtop with the silver painted snowflake wheels . Not the best looking wheels but they'll do since I don't have any money right now. Basically it looks like a V6 if you don't see the badges. I'd post a pic on here but they're too big
