Default Greetings from Wisconsin.

Hey everybody, new guy here from Central Wisconsin. My name is Jaron, I am 16 and I am lucky enough to drive a white 1996 Camaro, base model, with the 3.8L engine and the five speed. I hope to use some of my free time this summer to replace things that need to be replaced after 15 years and a few winters. For example, I'm hoping to replace shocks and struts, which appear to be stock and therefore 15 years old. Anyway, the car is very clean and here is a picture.

Thanks. I bought my Camaro near Milwaukee and live in Wausau. Do you drive your Camaro in the wonderful Wisconsin winters?

Alright. I'm still on the fence about buying dedicated winter tires and winter driving my Camaro or not.

Reminds me of my first camaro (after a minor restoration that is) There's a lot of potential in those cars. Need any advice I can help.

Anybody else think this is a good deal?
ALUMINUM RIMS AND TIRES OFF 96 Z-28
I want to keep my Camaro looking stock and some salad shooters will do that.

I see salad shooters a lot for sale, maybe some SS/Zr1's?
