New Camaro again - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Tbar · 09-26-2012, 06:52 PM

I bought a basic 2LS, only add on is the high wing spoiler the weekend before last. I have been Jonesing the Camaro the last couple of years. I bought a new one in 86, 8 cly. 305 and loved it. (paid cash for it) After two years I got a boat and didn't really think it through that I would have to get a truck. Got a Silverado, then had a Ram crew cab till 2005. Got all economy minded and bought a Civic, the cheapest one, no power doors or locks and was driving that for 7 years until now. So to me this is a high end Hot Rod and still can justify it being economical to some degree. People at work say I'm having a mid life crisis which I readily admit to. Got to get a trailer hitch for it to the dismay of many I know. I Sea Kayak and don't want to get racks on the top, so i'm having a very lightweight trailer built to haul my two kayaks. Probably leave the ball off when not trailering. Really enjoy this forum and very happy to be in a Camaro again at 50 years old. Have to hit the link can't get the img tags to work. Tom

Congrats! Thinking of adding a new set of wheels/tires perhaps? Still looks good though.

Here's your pic btw...

Thanks for the welcomes & posting the pic 45th. Probably get new wheels in the future also thinking about Rally Stripes. Want to tint the windows, but Virginia is the only state I understand that only allows 50% which hardly seems worth it. I might be able to get waiver for eye problems. I had some surgery for detached retinas and am sensitive to sunlight. Need to talk with the specialist asap. What type of wax do you use 45th? Your cars look awesome.

Okay, pics of the new wheels. Got them from Discount Tire. Total of $814 bucks. I got VoxxMG3(23611) 18X8 5-120 40SML wheels. I'll try to post a couple of videos of these wheels later. I'm happy with the wheels. They look nice.
