If there's anyone left on here who hasn't died from corona, I'm still kickin' it.
I'm 1 of about 6-7 out of 110 at work who is still coming in everyday. Our state mandated 'hide under the bed' order goes into effect today at 5:00. Somehow though, we are considered an essential business. Well hell, guess someone has to support the boating, fishing, scuba, and fitness products all those people 'working' from home need, lol. All is well with us, considering. Just sucks we can't get out to do much until this blows over. It's putting a damper on the house hunt.
Anyway, you guys stay safe.

Due to ChinaVirus I did a driver mod instead of a car mod this week .. I’ll post picture of me rocking the new mask that will now allow me to go out and roll and attend some cruises if any get put together as I’m sure all drag strip, road course and autoX events are on hold! Anyone want to meet up to go cruise as a group let me know cause I’m freaking ready now

[Jayjellyfish212]

I'm ready to go cruise around now with my car and be safe from the ChinaVirus! Who’s ready to roll?

Hey guys Jay has a great idea!
A cruise sounds good right now. I should have my doctor write me a perscription ie: Take a cruise,use WOT with at least 93 octaine,N/A, superchargers,Turbos,cammed or not,straight line or curves.Twice a week or as many times as needed to feel better FAST.

I hope everyone is well & stays that way! A cruise to the plank road Ice cream stand in N.SYR sounds Good.

Good to hear from you Mark! Glad all is OK with you and yours! I've been sick past couple weeks (no not the virus) so taking vacation time and laying low. Getting headers installed this week and can't wait to blast around town soon. I miss our Upstate C5 get togethers, especially the Glen! Someday soon! You'll have to come up sometime and we'll all get together!

Good to hear from you Spike. We're doing ok over in Weedsport, learning how to home schooling an Autistic 8yr old. That's an adventure. I've dove headfirst into the world of recreational shooting and home defense as well - seems like a good end of days hobby.

Car is running good, I pulled that out a few weeks ago and have driven it around some. No major plans for that this year - maybe a clutch if it finally gives up with some more drag strip abuse. I'm also thinking about going back to another set of 18x11 ZL1 replica wheels for the drag setup. The race-stars are nice and light, and the Hoosier DR2s work great - but they really are just a track-only setup, not something I can enjoy on a Friday night out to the Blvd.

I also bought Erica a toy this year. 1987 Silverado with a nice mild offroad build with a 4" lift and 35" tires. Dana 44 up front and 14 bolt out back, 208 xfer case and 700R4 trans all twisted by a somewhat anemic but adequate throttle body injected 350 small block. It runs great, uses plenty of oil, but drives excellent after a little work this winter. The body is pretty clean, just needs a couple cab corners and a little work on the passenger box-side. I needed another money pit like a hole in the head - but I got into it cheap enough and can just do little stuff here and there.

Hope everyone is staying safe during these crazy days. Hopefully when the "Pause" gets lifted we can setup a meet and enjoy each other's company some. I definitely could go for some Camaros and Wings!
