I did an oil change Sunday and I'm smelling a faint burned oil smell, just as she did when she was new - it eventually went away. Is this some sort of phenomenon with synthetic oil? And, no I did not spill even a single drop when I filled her with the new oil. No leaks either. Let me know what you guys think.

Yes, It has been a fast year. It just seems like yesterday we all placed our orders, and asking Becky what the status of our cars was. Then waiting on our cars to get shipped. As for me, I just went over 1500 miles today. Went ahead and washed the motor down today with just water and gave her a complete bath. I have not given her a full throttle blast yet, was waiting to go over 1500. I must say these are some sweet rides. Glad to see everyone is enjoying there Camaro's.

I have never washed my motor. I just blow her off with air and wipe her down.

We are having a big car show at work (Yearone) this weekend. Chip Foose and PowerBlock are going to be here. I have to work it so I will not see much of it except I will be collecting the car show fee at the gate. At least I get to see all the cars coming in.
