As Elsa says... let it go.

Well it was a fun exercise; I'm just not in a circle to expect to be able move the car efficiently.

Deal was $10k down payment, pick color/graphics/engine combo. IF...

Not sure what I'd do with an 8 second drag car... neat collectible, but puts a dent in the money pile.

You know how you sometimes sign up for stuff online expecting nothing? Well, got an interesting email today:


Dear COPO Camaro Fan,

You are receiving this informational follow up because you...

Sean got power back. Paul C. is doing well last I talked to him. Fernandez is well as far as I know. We think there was some water in the race car shop, my mom's house had about 6" in it when they...

I have a theory that people live where they are comfortable with natural disasters. At least you can see a hurricane coming... don't give me no earthquakes.

Hurricane prep...

Adam, good to see ya. I had the opportunity a couple years ago to be at the Mt. Baldy finish line of the TOC. Literally. On. The. Finish. Line.

We were in the NBC satellite truck when the race...

Fixed it for you. I ride an '01 Ti bike... ok, the group says I might, might actually still own a bike. Allegedly.

If you really want to get better on the bike, find a regular group to ride...

Done on the doors. Let me confirm with the rest of the investment group on price. Good chance it gets stripped this weekend.

We bought a transmission, they threw in...

APC front seats

Once that stopped...

Well, this weekend.

Apparently LS cylinder head freeze plugs can weep - who knew? Good news it's on the passenger front and easy enough to get to.

Now, why Sean thought it was a good idea to...

Paging AI132... <tap> <tap> is this thing on? AI132 where are you?

Fixed.

I had a main power wire terminal come loose on the drive home - car starts after tech to go on the trailer and dead when I got home. Big hammer. Blunt chisel. Fixed.

And addressed the...

You need/want any LT year body panels? I "found" one on my driveway and it needs to "fly" to somebody else's roost.

I didn't really want to know... but that competitive thing kicked in. There's goes another excuse. One day will have to change to "Orange is... just slow."
