Hi,

I joined this forum late last summer but have yet to make a single post (until now). I have, however, done a lot of reading and research trying to get a better understanding of the Camaro as I'm a complete "noob" when it comes to cars. Anyway, I had planned to buy a new Camaro this spring but I ended up pulling the trigger a little early because of a great deal (ended up getting nearly $4,500 off the sticker price thanks to rebates/GM points). Because of that, I bought a New 2013 Chevy Camaro 2LS and I got to drive it home just a few hours ago.

I originally wanted to buy a manual transmission, but I have never driven one before and nobody in my family has one (or has had one since I got my license several years ago) and I didn't want my first experience with it to be on a new car (in case I decided it wasn't for me).

Anyway, I have a list of mods I'm planning on doing and I'm sure I'll have several questions along the way, but this seems like a great place to get help.

And I know it's just a bare bones LS, but here are some pictures. This is obviously my first Camaro but it's also my first NEW car. So I'm pretty excited. It's going to be tough though as I won't be driving it during the winter, which means it's going to be in storage until the weather warms up. Anyway, it's nice to finally be a Camaro owner...

Scoonie, CONGRATS on the ride and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, dad's, wive's, husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Very awesome ride you have there! What do you love about your Camaro so far? We are sure you are excited for the spring and summer months.

I would say I love just about everything. My other vehicle is the blazer (in the above pictures) and it's nice to have a car with some "giddy-up" to it. Now I just have to wait for the weather to warm up.

Anyway, thanks everybody for the warm welcome.
