Hi guys! So a little over a year ago I picked up a 2010 Camaro SS and pushed that around for a while, after some thought about where I want to be in a few years I realized it wasn't quite the car for me. So I looked around and I picked up this 2005 AP2 with ~81k miles I couldn't be happier, and although it still isn't the prettiest driving, I'm glad to be on top of a manual transmission again. About me, I'm early 20s and an IT Operations Engineer by trade, here are a few shoddily snapped pictures (long weekend not all car related) I'll get some better ones up later this week.
Parting ways I can't believe how massive my Camaro was:

It's been a little chilly in San Diego, but I drove to work with the top down the 2010 was actually my first car without either t-tops or a vert top so I was super pumped to get the top down.

Nice man! I used to go to UCSD and lived in La Jolla, great place to drive around in especially Torrey Pines Road!

Wash, Clay, and 2 coats of Adams americana paste wax, plus ragg top products and some adams leather cleaner/protectant later:





All in all the paint on the front bumper turned out to be a little rougher than I would have liked, the rear bumper had a couple impact marks I must have skipped and the leather seats have a bit of sun damage, so I'll have to tackle that this weekend to make them new again. My used, but new to me kenwood HU and DCI harness is in the mail from another member, and I'm trying to make a decision on coilovers + maybe wheels and tires. Again, it just feels good to be in a car I can have fun with again. Also in a couple of months I'll be looking for a new apartment/house, the number 1 and non negotiable requirement is a garage I can work on my car in.

Popped this bad boy in there today and regreased my shifter, replaced all the plastic parts as well. Shifting is much much smoother and the vibrations in the shifter are much less noticable. I really should have ordered everything online though, the parts counter at the dealer rocked me for almost 70 bucks for the urea shin etsu and plastic parts.
