Easy Batt. Disconnect.

I made a great discovery when admiring my engine...err...I mean engine cover the other day. If you need to disconnect your battery for doing resets no need to go digging through the trunk in an awkward position. Right up front under the hood its easy access to the Neg. ground bolted the battery jumper terminal. Just unscrew from there for an easy convenient power recycle.

Awkward position? It takes 10 seconds with a 10mm wrench... How are YOU disconnecting your battery??

A 1.5 inch lower belt line would change so much for the better on the Camaro....


But it does everything else so damned well!

in this instance, the belt line is hardly the issue. i all but lived out of the car for 9 days this summer...it sucks. 2 ppl riding with cell phones? 1 of them will have both phones in their lap. oh you need to actually USE the back seat? oof, that’s gonna be tough. nice luggage, it’s a shame it WONT FIT IN THE TRUNK OPENING. just to name a few.

what was this thread about again?

Reminds me at my wife's work place, there is this 2SS which is super nice when purchased nice hyper blue. However, the owner has 3 school aged kids. I know for a fact they sometimes use it for the whole family. LOL...

I just don't understand why suffer the lack of backseats and room a young family needs why buy a Camaro.. The car looks great still on the outside but looking inside its shows the tell..tell signs multiple occupants ride in it...

Oh this is about ... easy battery disconnect... just humor today..
