Mississauga, Ontario, Canada - Glad to be here.

Greetings all.

My name is Shane. I recently bought a 1996 Black GS for $700 off Kijiji in Toronto. 211K KM's. Runs like a top. Manual, power everything.

I guess you can say I am very familiar with these cars. best friend had one, brother had one, and fiancee had one. So I guess it's my turn, haha.

I am VERY familiar with the mod scene. I unfortunately was denied to buy out my 2006 Chevrolet Colorado Xtreme's lease a few months back, which has lead me to this car.

About Me:
Engaged for almost two years. Haven't decided on a date, no rush either.

I am the founder and webmaster for the Ontario Colorado's & Canyon's Truck Club, http://www.ontariocolorados.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. It originally started as the GTAC, Greater Toronto Area Coloraado & Canyons Truck Club, but with more and more people joining throughout Ontario, we decided to make it province wide.

I am also the creator and original webmaster of the Ontario Cobalt Club website (http://www.OntarioCobaltClub.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). I started the site in May of 2007. Since then has hit almost 200 thousand members. All primarily in Ontario.

I started the Truck club in 2006 when I got my Colorado Xtreme. Love the people, love the scene.

I started the Ontario Cobalt Club website shortly after my Fiancee traded in her 1996 GS for her current Cobalt SS in 2007.

She was pretty stoked that I wanted to get a MX-3, as she comments on missing hers quite frequently.

I have lots of plans for my car, most of which will have to be secret. Seeing as if the fiancee finds out, it's my hide, haha. I modded the crap out of my truck, and miss it dearly.

While I had the truck, I won a first place award, and three third places at shows. I also won a second place in an Audio comp. I had lots done to it.

But, like I said, that truck is gone, and this car is my new concentration.

As with any used vehicle, there are dings and things here and there that need working on, but I'll get'r'done.

Looking forward to meets in the West GTA area too.

I think that's all for now.

Shane

No sir. Bought it off a Jonathan.

Looking forward to attending meets, but every meet so far since I have had the car, I have had more important obligations to tend to.
