Well it only took me a year to drive my Camaro again...

Well after 8 hours of dealing with airlines, arriving in Indianapolis at 1 am only to find out my reservation for a rental car was gone, and then driving 3 hours north, (with 4 kids in tow mind you) then got them dinner and into bed. I was able to go out shortly before midnight, and feast my eyes on my 69. I was there until about 4am, just messing around with the car. Car fired up quickly, and after it ran for about 10 minutes I took it out in the rain, and it drove just as sweet as ever.

It was all worth it......fell asleep with a smile

Nice..but whats up with the teaser picture?...Send us some real shots  .

I was running on fumes at that point. I will be back over there tonight when the kids go to bed, and fire off a couple of pics....

I believe I would just load up the family in the Z and drive her cross country home..!!..

Well my wife will be joining us for the trip back to California, so I guess she may have to ride on the roof!   

Also I can't imagine what my Camaro interior would look like with 4 young kids tearing it apart. My Tahoe has taken the brunt of damage, if I squint and hold my nose its not so bad...

Jim neighbors only sings at the indy 500 to the best of my knowledge. I almost had to google him to remember who he was, Goomer pile was ahead of my time...

My big plan is to erect/purchase a similar building in southern California where we live now. 60' x 40' is the size of this building, so I would like the future one to be at least that big, so I can enjoy them year round.

P.S. Indiana is home to my wife, I am originally from Northern California. I am not tough like you guys, I can't deal with the harsh weather, and the salt in Indiana.
My Camaro was in Michigan with the same owner for the first 38 yrs, Texas for a partial year, and has been in Indiana for the last 7 while I have owned it.

I was waiting for Austin to tell me to go get it and keep an eye on it for him.

[BULLITT65]

Bill your in OHIO, thats even farther away from me! I might have been able to live with Arizona, or Nevada....

And you don't have to buy them a newer 4x4 Silverado to take back up to college for those nastier Michigan winters LOL.

I honestly can not remember the last time I drove the Z on the street.

[BULLITT65]

well judging by your most recent photos you are going to have one eye popping car when it hits the road. The paint work looks real good so far.

[janobyte]
