I like the car content. I started the Elky and let it warm up yesterday.
Really hoping I get to work in it this year. 2 years of inability
(physically) about makes me want to give it up. I need a truck though.
One thing for sure, I have never been so in love with driving a car as I am
with this Camaro. The fact that it is a V6 is in no way a determent to the
fun factor. This motor sings, and it's a really good tune. can't wait to
put the summer wheels and tires back on.
It also got a wash today.
