Newby from DC

Hi all

Just joined up after lurking for a couple of months. Bought a 2010 Kizashi GTS manual from CarMax in January and I'm loving it. Already been helped out a couple of times by things I read here. I've been a Suzuki guy since 1990, had five Geo Metros, one Swift, then an Aerio which I just sold to my girlfriend. CarMax offered me $2,000 trade-in and the car was worth $4,000, so she basically stole it from me. It's okay, 'cause I stole the Kizashi from them.

I'll get around to a signature and avatar someday soon. Meanwhile, I'm in College Park, MD which is just inside the Washington DC beltway.

Dude...

I also live in College Park. I also own a 6 speed.

Welcome!

What color is yours?

Thought you were in Laurel, but I had already noticed that you were nearby and posted a lot. It's a medium gray - dark silver kinda thing, maybe mineral gray metallic?

I'm in Hollywood, near the new traffic light at Rhode Island and Edgewood. Almost under the Beltway.

Wtf.
I also live in Hollywood. Right by the intersection too. I may have seen your car once. I recall seeing a grey Kizashi there once before. I am surprised we have not seen each other in our cars.

Not to be creepy, but I found you. I drove around and saw your Kizashi in the driveway.
The clues you wrote out were enough for me to find you. I do this kind of thing professionally, so don't be alarmed.

Coincidentally, as I was crossing Rhode Island, I yielded to a white 2011-2013 Kizashi GTS or SLS. The car slowed and honked at me as the driver must have noticed my Kizashi as well. I have seen this car before driving down Rhode Island and think there is another Kizashi owner in the area.
I wonder if he will jump on here and find us.

That's cool, not creeped out easily. I wouldn't have give that much detail if I was.

You know anyone who wants the Camaro? Previous tenant left it and my landlord (and myself) wants it gone. '71 (I think) Camaro SS 350 manual. In well used, 100% original condition.

Want to ship it to Australia?

Welcome!

Em, where is this Camaro? haha, I'd love to grab it!

I did not see the Camaro. I saw a van and the Kizashi. You actually live VERY close to me. In fact, walking distance. I have actually walked my dogs around your neighborhood before and have seen your old Aerio sometime last year.
I live across the other side of Rhode Island Ave, towards IKEA.

Anyhow, I take it that the Camaro does not run, but the body is decent for restoration?
