Jim and Geralyn Gloe’s 68 Camaro
Text and pictures by owner Occupation: Nuclear Engineering I have always been a gearhead. I had my first 1968 Camaro when I was just 14 years old.

Goodguys 29th West Coast Nationals

Chance of a lifetime! The Part Deux!
Story by: Tony Huntimer First, with Big Red in Columbus and then with Adam Carolla! Somebody pinch me. I’ve been listening to Adam’s nasally drone since Loveline back in 1996! His drone is much like mine, but he’s funny. I personally enjoy Adam’s comedy. So much so, that I partake in his many different podcasts on a daily basis.
