2016 Camaro 1SS lots of mods/upgrades Black $34k

Sadly, I've gotten to the point where I just don't drive her enough to justify keeping her. And she demands to be driven. It's what she was born for. I'd rather let her...

I usually get my e85 from Meijer, one of the few places that offers e85 around here and they're usually pretty close to 80, according to my HPTuner anyhow.

I did not. I pretty much just parked it in the garage, disconnected the battery and put a trickle charger on it. In years past, I would at least fill up the tank with e85 but failed to do that this...
