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

Steve, Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. 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, wives', 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!!
