Jan - you need to say straight off that you're driving and whatever it is will just have to wait until you can get off the road.

It's bad enough they're apparently counting on you putting in extra hours at home. I don't know what your state laws are like, but your drive time needs to be completely off limits.

That's about normal for V6 oil pressure. I've got an auto V6 also. If I turn off stabilitrac and traction control (hold down button until both lights come on, about 10 seconds) I can spin both tires every time.

I actually made some head way on my workload today. Not caught up, but closer.

Our bathroom is almost finished. The shower door was installed today.

I appreciate your concern, and of course you are right. I seriously considered not joining the conference call. I could have done that without consequence to myself. I did not schedule the call or have any input in it's timing. In this case however, a 3 year old severely traumatized girl's life was in the balance. After a few days of insurance companies & hospital administrators (who do not know this child's case like I do) making poor decisions impacting on the child's already horribly dysfunctional situation, I just felt that I needed to lend my expertise & knowledge of the case to the discussion. I just put my IPhone on speaker, laid it in my lap & talked & listened while I drove. It was not ideal but in reality, as busy as I am right now, it may have been the easiest way for me to participate in the call without having to cancel other clients.

It was a slower day today with a few clients not showing up, just enough time for me to do some catching up.

Just one note to do tonight then I am getting my butt in bed early.

Just saying hello. I haven't posted here for a while. Didn't make C5 Fest this year. Hope those that did had a blast. Heading to Indy 500 next week for my trip to the track this year.

Have fun & post up some pics! Nighty night all.

I found a few free minutes tonight, so I finally finished applying for classic car insurance for the Chevelle. It was time for a change.

Good morning. I'm feeling a little more rested this morning. It is a REALLY good day to not be driving in Nashville. There was a wreck involving 2 18 wheelers one carrying hazardous materials which has shut down interstates & tangled streets all over Nashville. What a mess! There was some rain that moved through earlier which may have contributed to he wreck but it is supposed to clear up & be a coolish day. Have a good day crew.

Sorry I didn't get back with you immediately. I have a V8, so wasn't sure what the normal oil pressure reading on the V6 was, though what you described "sounded" about right ... as confirmed below. (I would have checked on my SS, but currently having an electrical issue draining the battery and didn't get around to jump starting it to test)

Electrical issue? By any chance did you install any aftermarket products, I have the Technostalgia sequential taillights and they definitely drain the battery. If it's going to sit a week or more I connect my battery tender, winter time it's like three months sitting, and those taillights can completely drain a battery in just two or three weeks.

No need to apologize. All the help is very much appreciated. I just didn't want to blow anything out! !

I have been on Camaro5 for a little over a year and just stumbled onto this thread. My user name was given to me by my wife after I bought my Camaro last year as an early retirement gift to myself. Two months ago I retired after 28+ years as a police officer. The last 12 years I was a detective in the narcotics unit. I had a great career and lots of fun but it's a young mans game. My mind tells me I'm 18 but my body says otherwise. Greeting to all the other old timers!

Welcome aboard COPPER ^5 Had one of you in my review mirror not to long ago, gave me a reminder Speeding isn't for the streets LOL Whoops <<< everytime I get a V8 i get myself in trouble.

Welcome to the old farts. Great looking SS in White/Orange. My favorite color combo tracing all the way back to the 1969 pace car camaros.
