Back in the Saddle Again - Houston

I taught my (Future) Wife to drive a stick in my 2nd Camaro, (84 Z28) when we were young and just starting out in college. She fell madly in love with that car, but when kids and other priorities required that we get rid of it, she vowed to one day get another one.

Well, that day (29 years later) finally came a couple of weeks ago when flew over to Pensacola, FL to pick up a 2016 2SS M6 that was only 6 months old with 7,100 miles. Needless to say my wife's reaction was one of pure excitement and joy as evidenced by her big smile after finally seeing her new ride in person. The Dealership there was wonderful and we were soon headed back to Houston enjoying the thrill of this new Gen6 and feeling like we were back home in our Camaro Family.

I thought I recognized the dealership. I graduated from Escambia HS. I'm also a Houston/Katy resident... 28 years there.

Congrats on the ride! Looks great, and SWAMBO looks happy as can be, too!

Sansing was great to work with!!! They gave us a great deal and made the transaction super easy.

We are in Magnolia. Looking forward to meeting up with folks around Houston in the H-town Camaro Club.

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to the HTCC. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!
