I have been a Camaro enthusiast for years and recently connected to the internet ( I know, a little behind the times).I've dealt with many Chevrolet cars in the past as a mechanic, but eventually was hooked by the F-bodies.I am just glad to see many others that have the same passion as I do.I own an '84 Z28 hardtop which is in the process of making new improvements for the strip.Many of the people in my area seem to be worried about how big their rims are or how many Tv's they have, and not even bother with the most basic of maintaining their vehicles; it almost makes you feel left out (almost)I can't help but laugh when I see an Escalade that doesn't run on all its cylinders going 80 down the freeway!Thanks for having me.

This is the only photo of the car thatI haveat the moment (a little grainy, sorry), taken last winter after I finished some of the cleaning.I bought it in 2004 fromthe original owner for a steal. He was going to hand it down to his son when he was able to drive, but the boy didn't want a car , "...thathan no airbags..." An all-original 58K miles Z28 in near mint condition with a rare roof console and everything was there, including the stickerfrom the dealer!(the boy drives a late-model Saturn, I think)It was kind of sad, though, the father started crying as soon aswe loaded it onto the trailer. I have spoken to him recently, he is just happy that the car is being taken care of, sort of. I just hope he doesn't see it now!
