Bike was kool but I needed a camaro again lol so I got intouch with a buddy who was looking for a bike and this happened




Lloyde Elliot cam 574 lift,1.6 roller rockers, Ls7 push rods, beehive springs,LT4 timing chain,new opti spark,water pump,pace setter long tube hearers,4:10 gears,msd coil and Taylor wires,I sent the computer to get tuned for all the mods by Tuned by frost

How you been man, long time no see.

Ryan! I've been real good as of late as I've mainly been keeping busy with my new job here at the county. Its way better than making that damn trek to El Paso.

Yeah, unfortunately I can't be making my usual appearances like I did in the past cause of various reasons. Before I used to be able to get on here cause I had a working home compute and time to donit at my old job in Fort Blissr, but now that it is over 8 years old and can't keep a charge its all caput until I buy a new one which is really difficult these days for me. So difficult that I was months behind on the cat payment and the credit union had sent out a repo truck to get the Camaro a few weeks back. Luckily though the company that was contracted for it is a family friend and they informed me on it and spotted a mobths worth me to make the payment so that the contract could be called off. Wheww! Another thing too is that with me working here in the county I can't be the internet unless on my lunch hours, which I use to ho run. That and I really have no time to do it much on my phone as I am always busy.

How has everyone been doing so far? Boricua has been great as he's been keeping tabs with me and letting know when get together have been taking place, but there again I have difficulty to make it conserve gas when they take place in EP or I have already made arrangements for another thing for those days. However I am planning on making more of an effort, if you cats will still welcome me back?

I asked him to join this forum here. He said he would look it up. He said he also might join the corvette forum. He wants to buy a black SS model that's sitting on the lot right now at Viva.

I got my oil changed at Viva today. It was $35 for full syn with the internet coupon. So guys, look up Viva's website, and print out that coupon. You can get a full syn oil change at Viva for $35 bucks, with the internet coupon.

My Camaro is one year old, and has 1200 miles on it. When I get my vette, I'm giving my Camaro to my brother-in-law, who is going to give it to his son. The son is all excited about it. He can't wait to get it. I've just inherited over a million bucks, so I can afford to do this kind of crap.

My salesman, Bill Torres, is back working as a salesman at Viva. I told him I went to Viva in April, and told them I wanted to buy a vette from them, and that they said they would get me the information on the vette and call me back. I told Bill they never called me back. I told him, "Bill, all they had to do, was fill out the order for me, that's it." He just shook his head. I told him I was not going to beg Viva to sell me a car. He asked me if I was committed to Mike Furman, and I told him yes. I told him, "Bill, you don't work for free, and neither does Mike."

Had Bill Torres, or John Rocha been working at Viva, when I went there in April, and had I spoken to them at that time, there is no doubt in my mind I would be buying my vette from them. I still can't believe Viva didn't call me back. Unbelievable.

Okay, I've waxed my car twice since I've had it. First time I used Meguiar's Hi-Tech yellow wax #26, and second time I used NuFinsh - The Once A Year Car Polish, that I got at Albertson's. Both waxes did a good job, car looked very good afterwards, but both waxes were hard to wipe off. I just called Autozone, and they sell Mothers/California Gold synthetic wax. They said it was about $21, so it's kind of expensive. Below in link is this wax. That's my car in photo, below. It's black.

Thanks. Life is not fair. I've done nothing to earn, or deserve this money. Lots of poor people out there can't even afford enough food to eat, and I get showered with all this money. Life is not fair.

Charlie I'm glad your work keep you busy. Hopefully you will be able to get more time off. I will be leaving in October, so I pray we can get together at least twice before I leave. I will be in San Diego until January but don't know if I will have some days off and be able to come to El Paso. Thinking on trying to get together Saturday, hoping I can get off at 2 pm. See if we can gather after 4 or 5 pm.

[Boricua]

X Factor I'm happy for you. Try turtle wax ice. I use it, is a little more expensive than the other ones, but way less than $21.

I wanted to add, that Viva performs a free fall check-up on your car during Sept, when you get your oil changed there. You have to ask for the free fall check up. They also perform a free spring check up when you get your oil changed there, during April and May. Ask them about this service, when you get your oil changed during these months. They might perform this service during other months, if you ask for it. They may not, but you can ask.

I get my towels at Walmart, and cut them up to make rags out of them. 100% cotton terry cloth towel, works great.

I washed my car the other day, for the first time using a wash mitt. I couldn't believe how good the wash mitt worked. Guys, get a wash mitt at Walmart, Autozone, or wherever, but get a wash mitt. They hold a ton of water. I also used car washing soap, and it works great. Use just a little bit of soap though, just enough to lubricate the water. Helps keep from scratching your car.

My buddy at work just got a '14 Camaro with the refreshed look.

For detailing I get my towels at Costco. Good quality 36 mf towels for around $16. I got a bunch of detailing supplies. Most effective polish for the vettes hard clearcoat is Meguiars #105 with orange pads... the thing is rock hard.

I know you guys rock the bigger 6.2L and sound a lot meaner, but here's my smaller LS6 making some glorious sounds through Lincoln National Forest this past Sunday. We should do a cruise up there, it's a blast!
