Big Red A10 ZL1
This is my 5th Camaro in 7 years. That was 3 5th Gens, a 2016 M6 SS, and now an A10 ZL1. It has been a non-stop thrill ride for an old motor head.
This is My first Hi-Po car with an automatic, ever since my 1969 Auto GTO I bought for $800. It was a difficult decision for me to go auto, but liking it so far. I am calling this thread Big Red. Everything about the car is larger than life. The color, the sound, the look. It gets a ton of attention. And it causes other cars to rev thier engines or try to pull me every time I go for a drive. Silly boys, meet me at Atco. I have been a big fan of the ZL1 since 1969. It was and is the most legendary Camaro ever in my view. It was and is the most legendary Camaro ever in my view.

Loving the car so far.

Congrats! Beautiful ride! Didn't take you long to get back in the game. I guess your Atco Mustang buddy Pat had better look out now.

Plate Frames:
I bought a cheap version of the ZL1 Plate frame to try it out. First I put it on the front: But too much ZL1, I like it better on the back: Then I added the ZL1 Add On fender Flaps. The fronts were great and install in minutes: The backs though are a poor fit. The plastic spacers are not wide enough and the curve is a sloppy fit. These simple pieces of plastic are very expensive and I feel a little ripped off. They say to fill the gap with black putty. In their defense I am not sure how it could fit better. Do yourself a favor and remove the wheels for a less frustrating a 5 minute install

Old Mans's Car Blog
I have enjoyed writing since the 7th grade where I wrote my first short story which was well received at the time. Some day if I ever retire from the software business, I hope to spend more time writing, I really enjoy my drag racing thread and that has turned out to be sort of a blog. So I decided to set up a real blog to rattle on about how the automobile has been a part of my life since I started walking. I think I can thank my Dad for this life long obsession.
Comments here and there are welcome. Old Man's Car Blog

Big Red has been sold. I may be back once the LT4 goes in the last Camaro gasp.
