I'm a newbie

Just thought I would pop in and say hello. I just picked up a red 90 Iroc vert and have been lurking for a while... This seems to be a very nice site with lots of info. I am not new to camaros, This is my 3rd but my first 3rd gen. I currently also own a 69 fathom green coupe. I picked up the vert because I've always loved the look of a 3rd gen vert...I am looking forward to future discussions about this Camaro. Mike

Re: I'm a newbie

lol...well this vert is going up to the lake house for use up in the mountains...we needed a car up there and I spotted this...I think it will be a fun car up there...It will be locked up in a nice empty, well, fairly empty, 2 car garage...We will use it on the weekends...I guess I will just have to get by with the 69 during the week...

Re: I'm a newbie

Mountains? whereabouts? Any chance you're up in the Lassen/Plumas county areas? I know a lot of Bay Area people have second homes around the lakes up here, it would be cool if there was another f-body cruising around.

Re: I'm a newbie

Thanks Guys...Its near Groveland, outside of Yosemite. Thanks for the offer Eddy...right now I'm hunting out some small Hallegon lamps for my 3rd brake light...Radio Shack is the best! I could use a mounting bracket for the brake light lens in the spoiler...it was just stuck in there....I can't tell how it was mounted...
