Just saw a Nickey Camaro for the first time.
Was going north on Randall and a synergy green Nickey turned in front of us and got on it a little. I turned down dean St and he made a left onto a small side rd. Wanted to go and see it but wasn't sure if I could go back there or not. The car looked and sounded amazing.

I didn't have time, I know nickeys shop was back there somewhere but I wasn't sure how to get to it. I would've gone in and taken some pics and grabbed a poster and some shirts if I did.

That would have been the alley on the side if our building. That is our location.
We road test all Camaros before we deliver them to the customer. |

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same. Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different. I can't wait for my next Track fix.

Remembering Yenko, Baldwin from the late 60's. It's nice to see some of today's dealer's are carrying on the tradition. Having a specialty car that other would love to have is a great feeling.
