Heh - buy an old carbed third gen. You'll learn fast. Thats what I did anyway.

P.S. - In all seriousness, oil changes are a piece of cake, and air filters/spark plugs/plug wires are even easier. Have a gearhead friend (maybe even one of the camaro5 forum members in your area?) give you the run through one day, and you'll be home free from then on. Just make sure you have a good supply of wrenches and rags and a couple of drain pans to catch the old oil in. The hardest part will be changing the filter, but once you get the hang of taking them off and getting them on, its a piece of cake too. It'll save a lot in the long run.

Oh, and wear a shirt you don't mind getting dirty, take the drain plug out slowly your first time, and DON'T put your glasses by your feet! Most expensive oil change I've ever done.

As far as warranty goes, just keep records and you should be fine. Receipts for the oil/filters/plugs/wires, and possibly even dated pictures (do disposables put a date? I usually use a digital that puts a datestamp) of the odometer and the dipstick (so they can see the dark oil vs. the clean oil). You shouldn't have a problem with it unless you have a crooked dealer, and they'll try and cheat you out of the warranty anyway.
