Thanks Trey. There's a bit yet to go, but the end is in sight.... if there is such a thing. What little I've been able to drive the car has been a lot of fun. It's loud, it smells, the steering wheel needs to be re-indexed and I don't have the seat belts in it, but it's fun!

Default It's definitely loud!

While the wife and I were sitting in our back yard this morning drinking coffee, we heard a raspy rumble roaring from up the street. I walked around to the side yard and saw "The Victim" rolling by. That is a sweet looking ride. Went back and told my wife that I need to get out in the garage and back to work. Haha.

Great to see that beast on the road. Congrats on such a badarse car!

Well let me fire it back up for you!

I’ve seen you out there plugging away a lot the last few weeks. Keep at it. I need someone to cruise with.

I dropped a lot all at once knowing it was going to be a busy week.

Soon! Hope to get a few this weekend. Who knows... maybe I’ll even get the seat belts installed.

The week of SEMA is always a busy one for me. Work prevented me from attending the show, but I still made time to meetup with friends. I had planned to tag along with Adrianne and drive GW's truck back to Scottsdale Saturday after SEMA. The truck made it as far as breakfast. The hose from from power steering pump blew right out of the fitting and all the fluid was gone.



Adrianne decided to call Pilot Transport and have the car hauled to a trusted shop in the PHX area rather than hunt around all day and deal with an unknown. I'm not sure who she called at Pilot, but one of their rigs arrived within an hour and snatched up the truck. You can't even get a Tow truck out here that fast.





She grabbed her bags and we called UBER.



She asked if I wanted to head out to OPTIMA and hang with Blake, Jay and the crew from Speedtech. Yeah... always! She insisted we take the Camaro and I was more than happy to do so. We bolted the passenger seat in and headed out. Reaching the track we rolled in like we owned the place and no one questioned it. It was a great afternoon and proof that "there are not bad days, only lesser gooder days". We had a lot of fun to say the least.





Adrianne caught this as we got ready to head out.
