Those Utah family graphics are

I've had work weeks like that......too much to do and not enough time to do it. It's taken me many months to get current on my schedule.

Chevelle is off the jack stands! Shake down drive will be Saturday or Sunday.

Happy, Happy Saturday morning after a crappy week for several of us. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Ruby gets a good bath, wax & detailing today.

By the way that Chevelle look s great it must be fun to drive it. Trying to decide if I should drive to Cleveland today to see my last game of the season or just save the gas money and stay home and detail the Camaro

I'm cruising out to Mount Saint Helens today... pics later!!

Don't know where I found this, but I thought my Ol' Fart friends could appreciate it.

"If My Body Was a Car"

If my body was a car, this is the time I would be thinking of trading it in on a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish, and my paint job is getting dull. And that's not the worst of it! My headlights are out of focus and it's hard to see things up close. My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather. My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently. But here's the worst part - almost every time I sneeze, cough, or sputter - either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires!


Have a great weekend everyone!

YUP! I'll be doing the same to my wife's Camaro today since the weather here has cooled down a lot lately 70sF. I hope my wife lets me drive as we now have 6000 miles on it since picking it up April 16 and she lets me do all the maintenance. I use Meguiars Tech Wax - nothing special but lasts well to me.

The important thing to note here is that your priorities are 100% on the mark. Ladybug first, work stuff whenever....

Absolutely!! Plus, I didn't want to drive around with a set of wheels in the car - the boxes were rubbing on the back of the seats. No amount of job satisfaction justifies damaging my leather....

Once I have the wheels on, I'll probably use a whole SD card on pics!! (almost said whole roll of film... ) No need to worry!

Cruised to Mt St Helens today. Only 2 Camaros, but the other was a new C5 member (MXR), so he's been initiated now! I told him to pop in and meet the old farts, and also extended an invite to WCOFF II. He and his wife LOVE road trips

The fires in eastern WA are making the skies here hazy, so mountain viewing wasn't so good, but Camaro and chubby chipmunk viewing were perfect!!

Nice pics Ladybugsmom. Red Raider got waxed & the sticker king strikes again. Ruby got undercarage washed, wheels & body washed & waxed. Boy am I tired. We got finished right at dark so I could only get low light pics but here they are.

Great photos gang!

Chevelle is still down, so I took the Camaro to a cruise at the Pavilions in Scottsdale, AZ.



If you would like to see the other pics, go here:
http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Cars...7904&k=fkMPfQ5

Chevelle needs more bleeding done, and I have a bleeder screw on the left front caliper that seeps (a little) around the threads. I'll keep at it Sunday, sooner or later it has to get fixed.
