Hell she used to have a Camaro; a '14 that I bought her, but knee issues were making it hard to get out of, so she opted to trade it in towards a new Tacoma. Now she wants that back. She also has driven her uncles drag Nova down the strip. Wanted to build her Miata out to take on the tail of the dragon too. So it's not like she doesn't have it in her, I'm assuming it's not being in control.

My other debbie downer moments are when the radar detector keeps going off because of omnipresent state police on certain days...

You know what, let's get together and you can bitch without the strangulation and wallet swishing part
The only issue there is you want more than a 2" shoulder when these melonheads come meandering around blind corners half in your lane lol. Easily 2-3x a day I'm raging and panic-braking over these jackoffs pulling that stuff. "Yeah buddy, you think your lane is too narrow for your pickup and lawn mower trailer so you'll take 1/2 of mine? It's ok, I'll just commandeer this dude's front lawn."

I'm game brotha

I had the day off, so I finally grew enough balls to swap out my steering wheel to the new heated carbon fiber, I was a little bit hesitant because I literally had to gut the original wheel and transfer everything over and I hate dealing with little fragile plastic trim clips and the confined space only fits one way wiring all the while being a half blind welder at my age

Nice!

Today my "miles of fun" meter hit ten thousand, giving me a total of over fifty thousand miles of sixth gen fun (considering that I put about 40K miles on my 2016 before I sold it, plus occasional rental Camaros scored during work trips).

Took my 12 year old stepson out in my ZLE and at the conclusion he looked at me and said "10 out of 10" lol.

Good times.

Enjoy those beautiful congestion-less roads. Btw, nice car.
We try and take advantage of the nicer weather here up in Northern Maine. We do have snow on the ground for a little more than six months out of the year, then rainy season, and about three months of summer

Keep enjoying it, try not to conjure the memory of the moose, the past shouldn't be allowed to ruin your joyful present. It took me a while to get past the memory of my stupid ass wrecking my Camaro, but I'm through with that (additional mods helped, too ).


Thanks for the complement. Really LOVE this car. I owned 2, 4th gens prior.

Took out my passengers side mirror. Destroyed it and the force of the impact left a dent in the door where the mirror came in contact with.

I got lucky and swerved just enough to miss hitting the front end of Big Red.

Dealer installed new mirror and insurance paid for it.
