Over The Hill Gang , Old Farts with Young Cars

Hey gang!

Tailgating sounds like fun. Been years since I did that.

Looks like a good evening to go to a cruise tonight. The Impala is all waxed up and ready to go. Tomorrow, our club is the feature club at Pavilions. Can't decide whether to take the Impala or Chevelle. Chevelle has been sitting for 4+ months.

I attached photos of the wheels I am thinking about buying for the Chevelle. The chrome wheel is the American Racing VN 808 Mach 5 and the machine lip/gray wheel is the Cragar Eliminator. I am favoring the Cragar wheel right now. If I do this, I'll be installing 17x8 wheels with P255/45R17 tires. 18" or larger wheels do not look right on these muscle cars, but 17" look pretty hot to me.

I've come to the conclusion three hobby cars are too much! The Camaro is staying and I've owned the Chevelle since 1980. So the Impala is for sale right now. However, if a proper offer comes along for the Chevelle, I'll keep the Impala.

Rick - Both wheels look good. Can you post of your Chevelle? I'd like to see how it looks on stock wheels.

Thanks!

I like your Impala but I love the Chevelle so for me keeping it would be an easy choice. Tough decision on the wheels but I like the chrome ones a bit more. I am going for my MRI tomorrow so hopefully by next week I will find out if I have any type of serious back injury. Its been a bit better the last few days so maybe its starting to heal. Only have a short time left for the Camaro before I put it away for the winter.

I'm with you. I love the Impalla but the Chevelle trumps it.

Glad it is Friday. Everyone have a safe & happy Halloween.

Happy Friday back. Went to a cruise in at the local Sonic, but they weren't there. Ended up at the American Legion with about 7 other cars. Had fun though. They were trying to build up the show, so they gave everyone a ticket for a free drink inside. I was the only female there

Rick i like your Impala but if i had to choose I would keep the Chevelle , everything can be for sale if the price is right

I REALLY do appreciate the comments everyone, I really do.

Last weekend, a buddy let me drive his Hellcat. What a car! Not only does it blaze the tires, but it accelerates like nothing else and it stops on a dime.

Now I will most likely never afford one, but my buddy commented the expression on my face was priceless. Although the Impala is a real nice car, no way I'm getting that same expression on my face driving it.

But I will driving the Chevelle. Camaro too, but for a different reason.

I'll be dragging the Chevelle out tomorrow for the first time in 4 1/2 months.
