Happy B-Day Bro...

You know, around San Antonio, they dont call that lope... they refer to it as a chulupa cam... Though yours run like hell, unlike some others I've heard referred to....

Nice job Mike...

Can't miss your Camaro. Definitely one-of-a-kind. (Both the owner and the car !)

End of an Era.....News Flash

Well folks,... Since the ZL1 Nuremburg run I really got the bug for a 2012 ZL1 Camaro..... soooooooo I sold the Pace Car...:(

I slipped a small ad in AutoTrader last weekend w/ no front page pic and just a link to other pics... http://www.leesite.com/camaro and started taking calls. Thought I'd give everyone a chance at the bonus of getting it with all the mods and extras, otherwise I would have to spend time de-modding, then trading in and then selling parts, which I really didn't want to mess with. No room in the garage for 2 Camaros and I've already been through ths once when I got the Pace Car. So the decision was made...

My daily commute to work is changing next month which also had a major part in the sell decision. I bought a 2011 Colorado a few months ago to drive back and forth (10 min) to the park and ride where I rode a Van Pool from to downtown Houston. This was an awesome setup as the Camaro stayed in the garage all day and was only driven to car meets and stuff on the weekends... and the truck sat outside under the trees at the park n ride lot. Also had a great group that I ride with to work every day who will be missed.

Now, in my new position I will be driving downtown myself which is about a 45 min one way. I enjoy driving to work in the mornings drinking coffee and listening to morning radio, but I want to do it in style, not in my little truck. Especially since there is always lots of stang meat along the way to wet my appetite. The ZL1 will be perfect... and I will have a nice parking garage to keep it safe during the day.

Was pretty hard to let go of this ride, especally after all the nice mod that were done on it, but I'm sure the new owner will do it just as much justice as I did. Everyone always falls in love with the lope of that cam and he did too. It was also nice to find someone who truely appreciated what he was getting.

Bottom line is Me + an upgraded Camaro will be spending more time together next year and that's a good thing...

now let the flaming begin...
