SSBUSDRVR I love those wheels. They look great on your car.

Yeah, I hate the way services like phone, cable/satelite TV, & computer services are marketed, packaged & contracted too. Lightning, If that were the case, I'd be tempted to arrange to be a "NEW" customer by cancelling & then calling to re-start.

Nothing like being back to work after a week with a couple days off & playing catch-up. Oh, well I guess I should not complain. At least I have a job to fuss about.

Good morning everyone.

SS - those wheels look great!

Have a minor setback on Chevelle repairs again. Guess I should not be surprised when 43 year old pieces-parts fail. Now I have to wait for 2 correct bleeder screws for the calipers to arrive by FedEx.

Most auto parts stores do not keep "antique car" parts in stock, and I don't have time to drive over to NAPA today.

My wife keeps telling me to sell it, as I have a droptop Camaro now.

That is what I'm tempted to do - but I need to find out if "returning" customers are exempt from the good price as well. I wouldn't be surprised if it was in the fine print!

MY wife wants me to get rid of the Camaro and get my ol' '57 Chev running again. I think she doesn't realize I get about twice as good of gas milage with the Camaro as I do with the '57!! But the insurance is considerably more with the Camaro.

I don't see a problem with us keeping both of them!

Evening all happy to see all are doing well hand having fun with new parts and shows and football. I could never cancel my Sunday Ticket I need to keep up with my fantasy teams and by the way the Bills looked yesterday I will be looking for other games to watch when they are stinking up the joint.

Yesterday I watched some of the Eagles, Browns game, also some of the Lions game some of the Texans. Packers at 4 the the Broncos at night. Watching the Ravens now. I had to do a little work from home as well its my on-call week and I have a sales guy that cant get his VPN connection working so I thought I would check in while I had the computer out.

hotrodsally · 09-10-2012, 08:18 PM

Zandron,

You're troubleshooting that guy's VPN problem remotely, I hope.

Happy Monday Evening All!!!

69supersport396 · 09-10-2012, 09:24 PM

Buddy stopped over after a day of rain and we put some new wheels and tires on the car. Purchased from Forged Wheel Source. A Vendor here Great service and Free Shipping.
Niche 20" w Vredestein 275/40-20,315/35-20.

I'm so jealous of the wheels. They do look awesome. I saw a car at the fest with those wheels and I want a set bad. I'm probably going to put it off until I need tires.

Instead I got a strut tower brace and a ZL1 rear diffuser. I put the brace on already. The rear diffuser is going to take a bit longer.

I thought I was going to be one of the older ones at 51 (wife=49) but from looking through here, I'm still young!

I don't know who is oldest here. I'm 61 but others may be older.

Ladybugsmom · 09-11-2012, 01:03 AM
