How are you enjoying the Muscle Car hobby these days?

Very cool that you still have your bike all these years later! I bought my first new harley in 1993 and just bought the identical bike with 2,300 original miles. My other 93 just turned 5,200 miles

I have similar struggles Tom406. My 993 is 27 years old, but operates like a modern car and I can find mechanics to work on it. I had to flat bed my Camaro to a buddy's shop in Toronto as there was no one local to take it to and it was costing me $350 each way. There is a local Corvette shop about 15 minutes from my place, so that is one reason that I may go that route next year.

I retired September 2022. After 47 years of being in the electrical construction trade as an electrician- contractor- estimator-project manager- consultant and more retirement is a total different ball game to me.
Lost interest in the car show scene many years ago and only go to a few cruise ins local to me.Today I got the 4K car for the first time this year and cruised in to town and back home, about 15 miles. I enjoy driving the 02 Camaro more than the 4K car.
I have a nice 30x50 shop that I spend a lot of time in piddling on stuff. My neighbor stopped by yesterday questioning me about a welder outlet circuit and I jumped at the chance to help him install it LOL!! So yes I’m bored!
I got sad news past Saturday about an old friend that owns an Automatic Transmission shop, he has had a stroke and hasn’t been to his shop for 3 weeks. If a guy has his health and can get out n go each day you’re in fine shape.

I have only been retired for two weeks now. I was going to retire in Feb of 2024 but GM talked me into staying home 😉. It comes at a perfect time as I’m restoring my 67 Z. So lots of time to dedicate on that project. The biggest hurdle is finding my routine but I’m getting there.

When I announced my retirement, one of my longtime colleagues dug up this pic of a cold weather trip we were on in 1991 for the 92 Bosch ASR system in Kinross, MI. Great memories.

Congratulations on the retirements guys! And thank you for responding to my post. It’s great to hear that I’m not the only one who prefers “older” cars over “old” cars now 😀.
