Yea as long as the ride isn't a back breaker I'm fine with it. Last time I drove the Camaro it was about 30 degrees outside and with the front tires stretched and them being so hard it felt like I was going down a gravel road for the first 5 miles or so. After that it smoothed out since the tires got warm.

1" drop? Nice! When I install my coilovers I'll have to set it to that. Looks great!

Tires prob had flat spots since you never drive it.

Nope! I'm being careful though.

It's not a back breaker at all, I have a bad back and couldn't handle it if it was!

Yeah, went into effect this year. You have to have 150 units now to sit for the exam. CalCPA pushed hard to have the change in requirements.

The new CPA requirements sound pretty terrible, sorry guys. I'll be done after today though, it's a one credit course so it only runs half the semester.

Bella looks good!

Lmfao got an oil change yesterday on my winter beater and during it they tested my battery and well apparently it only has 270 CCA haha. This has me wondering if I can get away with an even lighter braille battery on my camaro that puts out a little more CCAs, haven't had any problems with my winter car yet lol.
