And, throwing my 2 cents in on the Adam's products. They are great! I won't use anything else.
And, btw, I'm 59 too, but when I get behind the wheel of my Camaro, I'm a 17 year old teenager.

Congrats! Hope you get your ride SOONER than soon!

Thanks, Krazee. I'm sure Adams is great stuff. I know the Zaino system so I stuck with that. Ditto on the Camaro as time machine. I got a dose of Permagrin seeing those wheels show up. I would really like for this car to deliver today or tomorrow as the weather forecast is getting better all the way through this weekend. I'm going to have to get out of the car long enough to visit my tint man. Wait, then I'll have to keep the windows up for a couple of days. May have to delay that.

The very first thing[mod] we're going to do to this one, is get the ppf [paint protection film/aka "clear bra"] put on. I didn't get it done soon enough last time, and got about 3 or 4 little paint dings before I realized it! Dang! It's really noticeable on the white when it gets a ding, and with the paint jobs not being what they were back in "the day", I've moved the clear bra to the #1 priority this time.

Then next, of course will be the CAI and Noweeds. After the power train warranty is up, then we'll cam it, lt headers, and a new exhaust...but haven't decided on which one just yet. But, that's at least 5 years away.....when I turn 22 or 23! hehehehe.

Have a great day and I hope you get good news today!

I looked at a LOT of wheels before choosing these. The thing that really nailed it down for me was Tire Rack's 'view it on your car' app which made me realize I needed something bright and the usual polished aluminum just wasn't enough. We will know for sure soon.

I will be 59 later this year, the best thing is we are both still having fun and enjoying life. Maybe some day we will grow up!

LOL, I'm at the dealer right now picking it up. Soon enough on the wheels.

Congrats Indy! So glad she's in your hands now. This has been quite a journey for you, and you've been a great fountain of information. I wish I could join you for SuperFest. I'm going to the Sturgis Camaro Rally the last weekend in June, so I couldn't take off for both I'm afraid. Sounds like a blast!

Hare Chevrolet. Great service from Brian Eybel. I didn't bug Becky very much, not because I wasn't as anxious as everybody else but because Brian is another Becky. He was pestering DBC twice a day once it shipped. He earned his commission 10x.

BTW, seeing that you're an Avon guy, the other dealer in the running for my business early on was Dugan. Then they got caught up in the Champion acquisition and nobody was happy and progress on my deal ground to a halt.

OK. Just put 100 miles on her. I'll write up some driving impressions after two or three Michies soak in. But here's what she looks like with her hair down.
