Oh hey guys. I'm Ryan, most of you don't know me...and a couple of you do/might. I've been here for a while, posting here and there, been out to an event or two. But I've never really had a car I was "proud" of per se, and thus I never really made an effort to come up and meet new people when I was out. I've had 3 cars since I've been on here.
This was Bigbird, my 03 Sentra Spec-V. I had this when I first joined, hence the screen name (man do I wish I hadn't done that haha). It was fun for me at the time, taught me a lot about cars as it was my second one, and my first one I actually did some work on myself. Still though...kinda ricerish, I'm not gonna lie, but we all grow and our interests change. (I can say I didn't weave around like a Paul Walker wannabe haha so thats good)

I sold Bigbird for this...my 1987 IROC Z28

Yeah...it looks pretty bad haha. I had this out at a few meets here and there. The good thing about it was the engine. It had a 383 stroker, with cam, heads, and all that jazz. I still have it, but a friend/neighbor is currently buying it. He takes care of it, and I haven't even driven it in forever. (This was actually my second F-Body, my first car was a '92 V6 Camaro...as some of you may have seen in the "post pics of yourself" thread..with my crazy long hair haha)
After my beater that I drove while the Camaro sat started to fall apart I got my RSX Type-S...

It was a nice daily driver. I ended up putting a CAI, header, and motor mount inserts on it just to jazz it up a little bit I suppose, but it never really excited me. I've never felt at home in this car, and FWD is just all wrong. It was nice for a while, but I've decided to upgrade...
Today I picked up this beauty...

A 1999 Camaro SS M6. I was in the market for a small truck or SUV when I saw this thing and just couldn't pass it up. As soon as I sat in it I got a huge grin on my face. It just felt right. She isn't perfect, but I love her already. She has 75'000 miles, a cat-back(I haven't checked which one yet, but I like it ), K&N intake, and a BBK throttle-body. I've got a few plans for it, but I'm new to the LS1 scene so any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm really looking forward to coming out more often now. I know there are some great people on this site, and I really shouldn't have been so apprehensive about coming up and meeting you guys...but oh well! Haha all I can do now is come out to more events(hopefully the next track day!), and really try and be a part of this community.
Oh yeah sorry for the crappy pics, I'm pretty sure all of them were taken from my cell phone. I would also take more pics of the SS...but now it's got snow all over it haha.
