Finally, I Scratched the Itch!

It's a rare opportunity when I can get a chance to work on my Camaro that I got for High School graduation (a mere 5 years ago). Back then I had no money but plenty of ambition...I ripped it down to the shortblock before I could even afford a new top-end. Then I soon went off to college 1.5 hours away: the worst thing that could have happend to my car. It sat for nearly 5 years; of course I never forgot about the car...every chance I got to come home I'd pull the tarps off of it to tinker with this or that. Through school I was always saving up for the parts to build the car of my dreams (dreams courtesy of sites like Lateral-g, of course--and I'm not trying to flatter you because I also blame this site for how broke I am).

Anyways I will cut to the chase...

I'm out of school now and pull down a good enough paycheck to "waste" some of it on the car of my dreams. And I finally drove it this weekend! Sure I had no brake lights and the drum brakes were so rusty I nearly got lockjaw just from breathing...but it was still the best feeling in the world. I got a video clip if someone wants to host it (open headers ). Then I parked it and renewed my vows to the car

Thanks for listening, I know I made it feel like an AA meeting in here; it just feels so good to get it all off my chest!
