Default Camaro in a box.. what I love about this hobby.. lat-g edition

For those that don't lurk at the other site..

First off.. why I love this hobby..

Because I can rely on a guy I have never met (Paton) to be nice enough to checkout a car I have never seen and then have another car guy be nice enough (Bill H) to bring the car 1000 miles closer to me so I can pick it up with a trailer lent to me by another car guy that I don't know that well.

It's hobbiests help each other out.. and I won't even go into all the people that have offered to put me up or provide me with a safe place for the car durring its journey home.

Car people are the best people on earth.. I better stop before I tear up.. thanks guys!

As for the car... These just in..

Spy Shot..

Got tire???

Oh, he had these two extra brand new 335 pilot sports and sold them to me for $300 for the pair!!.. now THAT is a deal..

Next stop.. Austin TX then Sunny SoCal.. I should have it drag raced and on a road course in the next 30 days or so

Thanks again to all those that have helped.. Bill said the car sounded pretty good.. maybe he can give his impressions (since I have never heard it run)..

Bill's a great guy. We've spoke at length on the phone in the past and I'm just damn sorry I don't have the vacation time left to make it down to Pigeon Forge to break bread with those guys in June.

She's comin home to you, Steve. It's finally happening.

I know what you mean to the fullest extend of this hobby. You cannot beat car guys, when you catch the car bug, I think it has kindness side affects! Thats awesome that things have worked out and you have yourself another awesome ride!!

Congrats
Tim
