New SoCal Owner
Hey Guys,
Like many I have longed to own this classic American muscle car for years. It was one of those cars on "the list" that I hoped to own one day.
My last build car was a 2005 GTO with the LS2 motor. It motivated me to start a local car club in tri-counties (San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura Counties). I do miss the Goat but the Vette fills it's shoes...the 9lbs. of boost doesn't hurt either.
I hope to also help organize shows, fun runs and bbq's over here with the SoCal crew. Because afterall, it's never just a car.
I'm a third generation gearhead and love anything with an engine. Thank goodness I have a job that ties my hobby into my source of income. When not selling online advertising to dealers, I am writing a syndicated auto blog for my employer.
I look forward to getting to know all of you better!
