Because it's a garage queen.

Sorry, had too. It was too easy. I didn't realize the fest was already here. Ugh, too many things I want to do and no money or time to do it.

Edit: Dang you beat me in. Thought I had this post up quick enough.

Fixed that for ya. Don't feel bad, if the fast list is to be believed, there's way faster "bolt on" V6's out there than me. They just might have better air where they run or magic gas or something.

Yessir. Works like a champ. Did it on a 13-hr drive from Tallahasse to West Plains, MO. Should have used more tape but under the tape I did use it was fine. No goo, no mess. Just use quality blue painters tape. Not frog tape or anything chemically treated.

I thought about that and was considering it since it is pretty effective and just peels right off. But at least now I save myself quite a bit of time since I won't have to wash the Camaro a bunch of times

but yeah, if I had the option of towing, I would as well. I mean, I would much prefer to drive a Camaro, but if I had a garage queen or show car, towing is the way to go. hence, I need a truck. lol

Oh monchy but I'm not booked at the host. My dad had enough points to stay all three nights and a fourth for the way up there at a Marriott hotel. Luckily there is one 240 Ft from the host so I will be right across the street

Yea the trailer was about 300 dollars for 5 days and then the extra gas the Silverado will use pulling (which would have been like 10 MPG). When the rental is less than 1/2 of the trailer and gas out together.

Thanks. And yea I agree its not cheap. Maybe with a little more timing and warning we could have planned for a trailer but it was a spit of the moment decision. Monchy was right the whole time when I googled to see how far it as I was really considering it. Just got my test moved to earlier in the morning so that I don't leave to late from tally on Thursday
