Hey Yo!
Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been browsing this forum off and on for years now, and I think I registered last year at some point. Now that I'm finally in position to buy one of these cars, I guess it's time to start posting.
Anyway, I'm Steve from Hilliard, Ohio, and I'm currently the proud owner of a 1995 S10 2WD, 4.3L TBI with a T5 stick. Everyone loves pictures, so here it is...
It's the fourth S10 I've owned, and my only car at the moment. I've had a dozen other different rides over the years; a 3rd and 4th gen Camaro, a couple GTPs, an LT1 Caprice, a '97 K1500, '77 K5, and so on. My '98 Z28 6-speed was definitely my favorite...
I sold that car years ago, and I really miss having a fast/fun car, so I'm thinking it's time to get something cool again. I got a new job last winter that will have me driving my personal vehicles over 30k miles a year, so I decided I would look for a 2012-13 Buick Regal GS as the perfect compromise between a practical daily and a sporty "fun" car. Awesome interior, great handling and braking, quick enough, looks nice, and it's a practical....what's not to love? Well the more I thought about it, what does it give me that a 5th gen Camaro can't? The gas mileage between the turbo 4 and the LS3 is a minimal difference, RWD beats FWD any day of the week, and I have a truck to drive on the nasty days of winter. OK, Camaro it is.
Specifically, I'm looking for a 2010-13 Arctic White 2SS/RS with an Inferno Orange interior and the Orange Stripe package. Oh, and a stick shift. Gotta be a stick shift. I'm hoping to start looking within the next month or so, and have one in my garage at some point this summer.
Glad to be here
