Nice car Rick ! Love the color. Where did you find it ?

Just wondering is there a house on that land or is it all garage space ?

He found the Camaro in my garage. That's my dump he's pulling out of. Did you see the tears on the ground as I watched the car pull away?

Didn't see your tears Tony. But I certainly saw the blurr of the picture as he was speeding away. And the big smile on his face.

Sorry for your loss Tony. But you can still go visit her.

I've know Tony for almost 10 years and did not even know he had this till Frankenmuth when I told him I was thinking about buy another car a second Gen Camaro. He then told me he had this and I went over to see it and its was a nice car. Ms Grumpy, Don't believe Tony's comment about a dump, he has at least 10 garage doors that I seen with a man cave and bathroom in one of the garages and its a guys dream home...not to mention the pond in the back yard to relax and fish for Coy when he is tired of looking at his collection of cars.

Tony can take her out anytime he wants, but I doubt with the 4 cars he's got that he will want to.

The car will be taken real good care of and is tucked away underneath the Chevelle now waiting for next spring.

Now when Leslie goes shopping I have to keep quiet as she was nice enough to let me get another toy.

That's a nice set of cars Ric. Looks like there is a foot or so of space between them. I gotta come out and have a look at your new lift.

You need to put the Camaro up on the lift Ric. I've seen the car before and crawled over and under it, hope I didn't leave any finger prints on it. The under carriage looks like it just rolled off the assembly line.

Yes they look good together, there is about 14" of clearance. Feel free to come an look at it anytime as it was a good purchase for me.

Tony, how long is my warranty good for? The clock does not work....ha

I will this weekend, I got the new opener that attaches to the jackshaft so I have to install that. It is clean underneath unlike the Chevelles and that a big reason I bought it....just miss the big block torque but I can live without it.
