Wow lots going on.

Impressed with the house work Richard. Our house needs a lot of work but we just don't have the energy to do any of it ourselves. Saving to pay someone to do it. Mad props!

Great pics from the race Trick! Looks like fun.

Welcome aboard sscamaro & CourtJester! Glad you are enjoying your fountain-of-youth Camaros.

I'm still reeling from just how great the 370Z ran stock on the 1/4 mi stock. Can't wait to get it out again. Daily driving Ruby (my 5th Gen Camaro new folks) is still fun & I am glad I get to drive her more. But I sure look forward to weekends. Still counting the days until I can retire.

Happy Hump day crew!

Welcome new guys!

Selling old cars sucks! Either there are lots of lonely people out there or people just love to lie. No wonder I do not believe any of these people that contact me about the Chevelle. They say one thing and do something else.:bs:

I'm not sure what constitutes an "Old Fart", but I’m 41 and just recently purchased a 2014 R/S for my daily to/from work car. I have a few prettier cars that seldom get driven, but I’m loving the Camaro.
Sport bikes are a boat load faster and more fun though...

Everyone is welcome. I think one sign you belong is the NEED for coffe, rather than just the desire. :lol:

I know a guy with a car lot in phx. Don't know his consignment fee but he is a really decent guy.

Exactly! There is a guy in Missouri that is interested in my Chevelle, but has to sell one of his cars first. Even told me where he is going to advertise it. Although I appreciate his honesty regarding his situation, I've yet to see his car up for sale. Another guy came to my house three days ago, felt we could do business, and said he would call me two days ago.

I've had people ask me where to seek financing and others ask me how to ship it overseas. I'm pretty sure Google is their friend in those situations.

Consignment dealers usually charge 10% of the selling price. Only concern I have is placing the Chevelle in their care. I use premium car care products and the least harmful methods of maintaining the finish. Not sure if they will drag a cheap, dirty towel over my paint, or keep greasy hands off the car.

True. Even in showroom everyone wants to touch

Yeah, she is now a 6 year old car and The Z is worth a lot more & much faster. The Z is my garage kept baby now.

Trickskier nice pictures from the race . I told my father inlaw one of these days we have to go to daytona .

I like to sit high to get a unobstructed view of the track. My seats are in section 468 but I just looked and there aren't any seats together available there. Check Turn 1 Upper in the 400 & 300 sections. If you purchase tickets in the 300 section get as high as you can to get a good view. I also recommend as close to the exit of pit road see you can see the pit stops.

The kicker is finding some place to stay. Most of the hotels in the Daytona Beach area want a 5 night minimum plus they jack the rates. You might be better off staying in Jacksonville. It's only an hour to the track and the traffic usually flows good. If you decide to come let me know and I'll give you some more tips and info.

CourtJester --- Welcome to the old farts !!

sscamaro --- Welcome to the old farts !! Do you still have your four old camaros ?? If yes, then post more pictures when able !!

Trick --- The #18 car looks like a turd in the brown scheme. But he usually drives the SxxT out of it. But, this week he did run like a turd.

Rick --- Keep holding on a buyer will come.

Jan --- Sorry to hear Ruby has been put to the carport. On the other side of the coin, that Z is amazing !!

Richard --- Daytona was great but my favorite track is Bristol TN. My $.02.

Have a good week-end everyone !!!

John - LMAO about the #18 looking like a turd! And three of the JGR cars just logged laps Sunday!

I like Bristol as well been there many times. But Daytona is the Super Bowl for NASCAR. My favorite track is Talladega!
