Going to hit Negative 3 here tonight. We have no water and lost power for 12+ hours... fingers crossed the power hangs in there tonight because today was the most measurable day ever...

Bundle up. I put an extra blanket on my bed just in case.

Yea you folks north and west of me stay warm and be safe in all this!! My sis is in Texas and she sent me pics of the snow and ice at her house, and that the power was out too. Praying for you all!!

Damn, well water pump just froze up. No showers for a couple days.

You guys stay warm and safe. Froze water sucks bad. Couple years ago we hit -10 for about a week straight. Kitchen sink drain froze under the house, master shower drain froze in the trap, luckily the water heater feed didn’t freeze. Took almost two weeks to get thawed and everything working right again. Luckily we just got some snow here without the frigid temps. supposed to be back to the 50’s by the end of the week.

Where's the best spot to put a plow on a camaro? Haven't seen any threads about that...

Good luck folks, hope the damage isn't too bad.

Still need a 2JZ badge for my Camaro. Or maybe my VIN. I could do just a "J" if I wanted to be really subtle.

My LS3 is badged as an LS3.

Yup... we are pretty good for Hurricane prep but you can also run from those. These iced over roads keep you trapped in.

WoW... that really sucks bad. I had at least 10 gallons of water stored so did okay. We just got power back and I used a hair dryer on my outside pipe and got the water flowing. Now having my 1st cup of coffee in two days and it's so damn nice outside I don't even want to come in. Just watching the snow melt away very fast right now in mu backyard...

First, I feel for you Texas boys, really do. But cut out the belly aching. -3 is a heat wave in February in my neck of the woods. I dug out of a foot of snow at 6:30am today. That damn global warming doesn’t get to my neighborhood until about May.

As for the OP, Down-badging is a lot more fun. Put RS badges on the V8 to attract the flies. I blacked out all my Z06 emblems to have more fun. I was coming home from dinner with my wife one night last summer and a guy pulled up next to me at a light with a gt350. Asked if my GS had any balls. Caught up to me at the next light with a shit-eating grin and said “guess it’s not a GS?”

I enjoy playing with vettes who think they are quick.

Considering no stock vette comes close to your 10.2 quarter, I bet you do.

I think its unimportant. If you are dead set on doing it, just do it tastefully. IMO it doesn't matter what you badge it. All SS camaros come out of the factory without the powerplant badging, so why is there a need to signify a badge? Its my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt. I dislike adding, or subtracting any badging on a car. A car is what it is as far as I'm concerned. The worst example of badge abuse IMO is badging a car as an 'SS when it clearly is or was not made as an 'SS, regardless of the powerplant.
