New User in SOCAL (maybe soon colorado)

Hi! Got my first caprice last year and have been lurking the forums for a while, figured it would be time to make an account!
My caprice is a white 2013 from wsp and I love the thing. Got lots of plans for it but very little money but hey, one piece at a time right?
