To a good friend Andy ( Prez.)

I met a guy one day for the 1st time at my very 1st car show at the Windmill in Penn Yan . My wife & I just got a new Camaro ,it was like 10 days old . I found this forum on the web and asked if I could join the club. I had several replies in less than an hour. Mark C. And Andy were the ones I will always hold close. The open and warm welcome was so unreal it was hard to belive. As before all of this my wife & I were more a family thing, all work and kids no time for us. We were really not big on alot of people in our lives. So I asked the wife if we can try this , She said okay , I figured what do we have to lose . If it does not work out then we just go back the way we came . Nothing lossed .How was I to know what this would become . That guy I met for the 1st time told me one thing that has stuck with me for over a year now. He told me that our lives were all going to change and it would never be the same. I was thinking in my head ya right whats this guy smoking ? I want some of that stuff. But to my life how true he was , our lives did change and not in any little way . But in such a way the human mind can't belive. We have done more & seen more and have met more people in the last year than we have in the last 20 years. Just because we bought a Camaro and found one of the best Camaro clubs in the world . And were welcomed with open arms . And yes we all got our quriks but we are one hell of a FAMILY are'nt we ? We all take care of one another and have a hell of a good time doing it. You have shown us alot of good things Andy and when everything is in check & balance you will come home to see the family again , I know about reality checks , I've had a couple myself . But all things need to be taken care of and everything happens for a reasons . And it will all work out in the end. Family ,kids, & work is always 1st , everything else is 2nd . I learned this also . they are more important than anything in this world . Take it from me I have been around the world in the Military I have seen alot of things no one should ever see and done alot of things for Our country That I am not happy with but needed to be done so our children and loved ones are safe and have the freedom they have. It's called sacrifice! Some things are not worth giving up for other things .... Oh by the way the guy I met at the 1st car show was you Andy and all I have to say is you were right , Our lives did change ! I thank you & Mark for that ...........God speed my friend...............

.But I will miss you , now I will not have any one going postal on me anymore .But It's cool I always knew you'r bark was worse than you'r bite. And your a good man , take care my friend and take care of you'r family . You & your family are in our thoughts,

If you need anything ,you know I'm just a click away on the computer

Jeff , M & M

Since I read it on the internet, I know it has to be true. Like Joe said, as long as the 02s are hooked up, there shouldn't be an issue. I can't imagine every podunk backwoods garage that does inspections to know what the cats are supposed to look like on every single car. A dealer, maybe. I usually have mine inspected by my dealer and it's due next month. I'll be going to JimBob's House of Inspection Stickers for this one though. I'll keep you posted on the outcome.

So, got my car inspected Saturday. Instead of going to the dealer like I usually do, I took it to a local shop, keeping my fingers crossed on the cats and the other enhancement that shall be nameless They didn't even put it on the lift. Lights and horn and no issues when they pinged the tree-huggers in Albany. Could be more lax because of low miles, but I'll take it. Good to go for another year.

Had slight leak in hook-up from solos to headerson one side they tightened it up and engine light went out passed Ins. no problem.
