First stop; Home. I'll park it in the garage, next to the SS, and spend a few days detailing and 'Zainoing' him.

Once that's done, it doesn't matter. Just hop in, keep the radio turned off, and just enjoy a long, aimless, cruise listening to that great American V8 rumble in one of my favorite "friends" of all time.

I run on 14" rims now (1997 eclipse rs). I figured 250 per rear tire.

Guess I was wrong. What are they? around $450 per tire?

I've bought 2 new cars from my GM dealership, both have come with full tanks. so gas station is out for me.

Tires for this beast will be expensive they will be 17 or 18's high performance is a must, probabally looking at $200 per tire. I'll probabally put a set of nitto drag radials on my rears asap.

That was for all 4....



I was figuring on running at least 18's, probably 20's on the Camaro and they'd be high performance tires, so they will probably run more than $500....

I have two scenarios:

1. If I am still here in Chicago when this car is released, I am going to find my my buddy, who owns a 2007 Mustang GT vert, and do a burnout in front of his house to call him out! Then we'll head to Doty Ave on the southside by I-94 East to drag race, where I will shut him up once and for all!

2. If I have relocated to Charlotte,NC; I will drive off the showroom floor probably with my family(provided my wife can stand the rumble of the exhaust) and go cruisin'....and do some burnouts! Hopefully I will be well acquinted with some folks in Charlotte; I probably will run across some NASCAR guys who are "Bow-tie guys" and cruise with them.

Wherever I am I'll be in my car for a while.

First, I'd to the detailer, and have my guy wash/wax the newest member of the family until she shines like liquid metal!

Next, I'd spend some time making sure the iPod adaptor is neatly installed and out of the way... gotta have the right tunes (whenever the radio is finally turned on).

Next, I'd take it to the parking lot by the beach and get some good sunset photos of her with some good light! I'd make sure my wife's got her auto-show outfit on... yeah, THAT one

Then we'd go for a cruise up the coast, cruising by all the expensive mansions in Manchester by the Sea, letting all the Porsche-loving-green-tooth'd-cheese-eating-surrendor-monkey-Euro-trash drivers know the King is back in town... Boy I'd let that big LS engine roar down some of those little lanes! Maybe a couple of burnouts (short ones) just for grins... those tires are going to be expensive!

Finally, we'd drive back home (taking the long way) and maybe just get some ice cream at the local spot where the bikers and hot-rods hang out... just to show off a bit. :-)

I'm taking mine to some industrial areas for some sick night shots. Car photography is my hobby and I can't wait to add this car to my collection.
