GSJon's 2000 Chevrolet Camaro
Mullet on, Wayne! Mullet on, Garth!
About this Current Vehicle:
Picked her up on a cold and rainy night, 23rd Jan 08, to be exact. I missed having a manual car in my garage, so I hunted for a while until I found this Onyx beauty. Dealer wanted $6k, I walked out paying $5,045.
It'll see some time on the AutoX scene for a while, running completely stock. Future mods will include more competent brakes, suspension and some bolt ons.

Ah, a replacement headunit at last!
Finally got rid of the POS Audiovox unit that was chilling in my dash for a Sony (don't laugh!) MEX-BT2600. It's a great unit, sounds measurably better than the old unit, it allows me to hook up my MP3 player to the front, and has built-in Bluetooth so I can take my calls handsfree without a stupid headset stuck to my ear.
I have to pull the front door panels to assess why the front speakers still aren't working. Hope it's a simple fix, otherwise I'll be forced to run new speaker wire and new speakers up front, and I don't feel like half-assing it. I'm planning on installing an amplifier or two, and run some nice Infinity components up front and a small sub in the back. Can't wait!

Very nice, yes?
Got some more work done on her this weekend. Flushed out the clutch fluid, which was reminiscent of a, uh... well. It was pitch freaking black. Not good. I'll be keeping my eye on the clutch master cylinder reservoir for a while until it's perfectly clean.
I also changed the trans fluid, which looked like chocolate milk. Ugh. Maintenance, people! Maintenance! DO IT!
Also washed it, and then freakin' SATX decides to FINALLY rain after threatening to downpour for a week. So it was clean for a record-breaking 24 hours. Fuck you, SATX. Fuck you.

Better late than never
Thanks to my friend Dan, I was able to install my Pacesetters and a full 3" catback. Gets somewhat raspy but sounds great under load. Full exhaust setup cost me around $500. not too shabby. Decided to keep the whole thing low-key with a single turndown on the left, tucked up under the bumper.
The car is running great, and I love it more with each passing day. Got some tint on it for $180 out the door, and that really helped not only how it looks, but with heat management in the interior. Black on Black is a brutal combination during the San Antonio summers. LOL. Wish I could afford some new wheels/tires, but this will have to suffice for a while.
