I had my Camaro out on Friday for the first time in a few months and I saw a dozen or so other 'play' cars out there too. Down to the 76 in Auburn for some pump 101 (Trick) and then an hour of freeway-highway-town cruising. Spring is here!

Jeez, I just realized that the only time this car was on the road this entire year was that one drive back in March. I've been spending so much time on the T/A I forgot I had this car. Started her up to get the Stabil fuel stabilizer through the fuel system today, just in time to put her to bed for the winter.

hey steve.

I just saw this thread for the first time. amazing car by the way. i think a caught a shot or 2 of your car at musclepalooza a few years back. Im pretty sure you won best of show right?

[njsteve]

Yup, that was me and &quot;the other woman&quot; at Musclepalooza 2007. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

I think she won best Mopar or Dodge or best red 70 charger driven by a crabby old guy in a cowboy hat? There were a lot of awesome cars there that year.

Here's a youtube link from that show, with the car sounding angry:

You can also see some other guys' cars from this site on the videos.

Took her out for the first time this year (the last local cruise night in town for the summer).

Since it was &quot;race car night&quot;, I put the original owner's set of 1970 15x4 and 15x7 Cragars on. Those 40-year old Parnelli Jones Firestones were no fun to drive on. On the drive over, I didn't go over 40 mph due to the fact that they have hardened into something resembling bakelite.

I even had a bunch of trouble trying to just get out of the garage this afternoon. The car wouldn't back over the small 2&quot;x4&quot; block of wood I use as a wheel chock. The tires would just spin in place. It reminded me of those old AFX slot cars, you had as a kid when you tried to duplicate a real car doing a burn out by holding it in place and hitting the throttle.

That 56 Vette in front of my car is owned by a buddy of the guy I bought the Charger from back in 1987. The car has been a race car for a few decades.
