A couple weeks back my first car got wrecked when someone pulled out in front of me. It was a 97' Cutlass supreme. Great car but a bit boring. Long story short the insurance company gave me 3300 bucks for it and the first thing to cross my mind was a Camaro. So after searching for a couple of weeks I found a 2000 Camaro v6 with a manual transmission. The exterior was in good shape except for a small dent above the rear driver side wheel well. The interior is good except for 1 small crack in the dash and a missing console armrest lid. It needed brake pads and exhaust work but nothing to serious. I got him down and bought the car for $2250. I just did the brake pads myself for 60 bucks, so that is out of the way now. This is my first Camaro so prepare yourselves for an onslaught of stupid questions.

I live in St. Pete FL, but I bought the car in Tampa. I had to teach myself how to drive stick in rush hour Tampa traffic. It was not the most pleasant experience I've had.

Alright, here's the first of the stupid questions. I read the thread on how to upload a pic. The option to post an attachment doesn't show up for me in additional options. Do I have to sign up for a Photobucket account?
