Driving a sports car has been a stress reliever for me since I first started driving. Thankfully I've quite a few sporty cars over the years. Both of my Camaros have been near the top in terms of all those cars. They are powerful and great handling too. Nothing I like doing more on a weekend morning than going for a drive and rowing through the gears. I've already been out this morning in the ZL1 doing just that.

Gave her a wipe down after driving around and shopping for an SUV for my wife and I. Used the Toyota “Try Before You Buy” program on a RAV4, and, I’m impressed with it over the other options.

I feel like its a sin to have a Chevy and a Toyota, lol.

Another thing I've started doing that brings me peace is videoing my car with a new 4k camera and a drone I just bought.......
I definitely know the fun of making videos. It's something I've stopped doing, but used to do it a ton 10+ years ago.

Cheers!

I hear ya. I've always loved cars, my very first car was a sports car and the trend continued that I had to have at least one at all times.
I agree, these Camaros are a great balance of both. I love it

Guess I technically didn't do anything to the Camaro yet... But I did just drop it off at Katech for a heads/cam build. Can't wait to get it back!

Traded my '14 2LT towards a '20 Tacoma TRD Sport for the wife to use as a daily. She hated it, lol. I was perfectly fine with it, but had to trade it in a couple years after the fact because she was destroying it. Got a '23 Jeep Wrangler Willys instead. I'm hoping the Mopar gods don't turn it into a nightmare. I cringe getting MOPAR mail because of owning that thing.

Let's see what these do...











So that's why people say stay within 3% diameter... Need larger front tires it seems.

Yup, the algorithm is relentless

These Nittos look very sweet, keep us updated on how well they hook.

Installed Eibach 1LE specific springs, SPL toe arms, SPL upper arms, BMR trailing arms, and BMR cradle lockout.
The Eibach dropped all 4x corners almost exactly 3/4", and to my eye it's perfect.

Really digging the Hurst shifter as well.

Thanks, Speedyink. Just getting into it. Drone flying footage that is. Never had a drone in my damn life, and one of the videos I linked to was my first flight and edit with a Mini 4 Pro I just got of my 6th gen black Camaro west of Houston by some oil rigs. Nothing special, but my first attempt. Editing it was a blast, even though it kinda sucked. But I'm learning.

For anybody that sat through that drone video, all apologies. But I did mention I was hitting the Jack.

Honestly, flying a drone is almost as much of a "Zen moment" and stress reliever as driving my 6th Gen. Great new hobby I'm glad I picked up. Now I have two "emotional therapy" toys.
