It's been a tough summer on my 2010 2LT RS - @58,500 miles the Engine Control Module went - $830. bill; then the dreaded P0008 Engine Bank 1 code meant my Timing Chain required replacement @ 59,285 miles - $1,433. With perhaps new rotors/pad, cat-back replacement and whatever else declines on a 10 year car it was time to say goodbye. She was traded in on Saturday for of all things a Plug-in Hybrid (time to starting touring the country in retirement). I feel shame but will get over it...

Here she is on her last day at home, with her 1st Place Best Gen-5 Camaro 2009 and 3rd Place 2010 trophies from the NJ F-Body Owners Association (NJBOA meets. I'll miss her and all the mods added including Pfadt coil-overs (plus all of Pfadt's other suspension mods(, CAI from Cold Air Inductions; and so much more.)

I want to thank the Moderators and all members of Camaro5.com for all the help, advice, controversy and fun this group provided since I joined in May 2009 just as I was buying her, #3434 off the Oshawa line.

Through 3 Builders & Buyers Oshawa Meet and Greets - thanks Hylton, Scott & Mike Judge and all the friends we made in Oshawa and St Catherines - and NJBOA meets - its been a permagrin ride from beginning to end. She helped me through 5 years of commuting, and 5+ years of semi and full retirement.

I sent her off with her trophies and a set of notes on all mods and major servicing so the next owner has a feel for what she's made of and how she was kept. Dealer agreed to keep them with the car.

I'll be around camaro5 a bit longer as I try to sell some parts in the Local Marketplace in NJ/NY.

Enjoy your rides, stay well and always be kind...tjd24 - Tom
