What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

[Jsdirt]

Yeah these 134a systems are hyper-sensitive to charge amounts. Just a few ounces over or under make dramatic vent temp changes.

 

R12 systems could be overcharged by half a pound with no change at all.

 

Sounds like you've got it dialed now. Can't ask for better than that in 90° ambient.

Took the kids for a ride to the park.

Drove it to work, took the kids for a ride also. They like it more than they should. Might be because they were riding in the 67 firebird before they were 2? Indoctrination FTW!

Spent a ton of time tracking down a vacuum leak that didn't really affect how my Z/28 ran, just a high frequency noise that was driving me nuts. Found and fixed -so now just driving it more!

I just realized that Ryan's Camaro would fit in better with the rest of my vehicles -all black with black rims too!

Nice 2nd!

 

I walk into living room and one of my 3 year old boys says "daddy, can we get that Chevy! It's the coolest one ever" I had to rewind it because all I saw was a Cruze....it was a New Camaro SS Convertible with the top going up. "Daddy, the whole thing (top) goes down and back up, it's so cool!"

 

 

What's funny was I was looking at convertibles before I stumbled across the Z28. Plans.....

I thought you were getting a truck next?

 

It was a 2016/7 he saw.

 

I just saw a dark color 2016/6th for the first time on the road. It doesn't look great IMO, the stronger angles and less size makes the reflections look pretty busy. 5th is much better in dark colors.

Maybe I can score a buy 1 get one half off deal?

If you pay full price for the truck, I'm sure you could get close!

, just convinced my wife to take the Camaro to Wal Mart. I have only given her one lesson, I think her dad tried 15 years ago. First time she has driven a stick by herself. She stalled outside the neighborhood and blocked the road for a few minutes. Well, trial by fire.

 

 

Oh, and Ryan, since you are an Ethanolic, so would you get the 5.3 for the corn juice or 6.2?

Got the 1LE rear seat bar in. Definitely a different feel. Rear feels more planted

That's a dilemma, we will see what the new trucks have available. I think the 6.2 would still be the winner no matter what

aside from the Z71 I have a 2011 Camaro SS and a 1981 Vette.

 

The Camaro is my fun Friday and weekend car and I have recently been taking it to autocross. next project is upgrading the rear sway bar

 

the 81 Vette was my fathers, he purchased it in 1985 when I was 1. He just recently, after years of taking about it, brought a 2016 Stingray 2LT Z51 in Laguna Blue. the car is phenomenal. with that he offered me the 81. Without hesitation I sent a car carrier up to MA and had it brought down to FL. I am going through it right now, not going to do a big restomod, just make it a reliable cruiser. sentimental value is through the roof for me

 

AutoX in the SS

 

 

 

Replacing the cruise control transducer in the vette, which was busted and also causing the speedo to be on the fritz. and my little man helping me clean up the valve covers. third shot is me back around 1990 with the car.

 

current state before I put her in the third bay and started tearing her apart
