I've started buying parts for it now, once it starts it doesn't stop with me..

Same with FL, I love it. Drive the car whenever, dont have to put it away for months.

The other day it got to 37 degrees. The caution ice message came up. Drove the camaro because I wanted the heated seats.

In other news, I finally got long tube headers and installed them last sunday.

The nice thing about parking it is less miles, and its like a brand new toy every spring xD

Haha. I love my heated seats too.

I haven't bought anything for the car in a while. I've been thinking about getting a 1LE style splitter for it to go with the wider stance due to the wheel spacers.

Yeah, it’s a must have, I’ve noticed the darker colored cars don’t look too bad with the factory red though.

I really like the 'Hero' ones for the 5th gen. Been eyeballing them a bit...

I keep reading that they have a slight delay in reaction between you pressing the pedal and them lighting up

Most people aren't paying attention anyway, so they wouldn't notice the delay when they plow into you with their face in their phone

Honestly I haven't even watched a video of the function lol. Just the appearance caught my eye. I think I'd rather spend the money on a splitter or a 1LE steering wheel. I find the leather to be 'slippery' but I really liked the grip on the wheel in my old car.

Or, just leave her as is and spend the money traveling in it instead I put 20,000 miles on the Jeep in the time it took me to put 4K on the Camaro - but we were offroading all over the country, couldn't exactly take the car in its place.

I always consider buying a jeep, but would kill myself trying to speed in one haha.


I'm not a fan of the suede in the Z, it is the only thing i hate about it.

Mine lifted feels great at 77 MPH which is slow by Camaro standards but in a Jeep its hauling ass

I love the suede! I kept a brush in the glove box and I was constantly maintaining it though lol. Like when waiting in traffic or something.
