Shackles / Air shocks and Yellow Slapper Bars,the mainstay of the 70's and early 80's

Despite the sign, I can guarantee you those cars are being judged. Harshly.

I try not to be the "Your fun is wrong!" guy, but...ick.

I stopped for breakfast at a restaurant.
While i was there, a Gen 4 Ram 1500 with pulled in, Sport Bumpers on it & it looked like a new paint job.
A mexican couple got out.
I decided to take some pix

I stepped out to my Ram, grabbed my Camera, opened the viewer. pressed the On button & a message came up,
Replace Batteries
I usually have a 10 pack of AA Batteries in the truck, i did not have any.
So when i got back home, i thought, i will change out the batteries.

It does not seem to be My Day, i could not open the Cameras Battery Door
That camera just came out of a camera shop, i had it reconditioned.
I guess it could be because of my hand being numb, my nerves in my hands are messed up.

There are no camera shops within 20 miles.
Maybe a mobile phone repair place can help

If I could afford to buy and keep up a classic car, it would be a 1969 Camaro, RS/SS, probably silver with black stripes and black interior.

I don't need a big engine and all the stuff I would have gotten many years ago.

Give me a 350 4bbl, with either a Turbo 350 or a 4 speed. A rear gear just above or just below 3.00. A later model automatic or 5/6 speed with an overdrive would be even better.

Factory ralley wheels, automatic shifter in the floor, A/C, P/S, PB, electric windows, if available (not that knowledgeable on Chevies).

Then, I would only need someone to help me get out of it, as I'm not as flexible as I used to be.

I've only owned two Chevrolets since I bought my first vehicle in 1971.

A black 1966 Impala SS I kept for 3 months, and a 1966 C-10 with a 350 installed I painted and redone, which I sold as soon as I fixed it up.

When I ran my own small car lot, I never bought but one Chevy to sell the whole time I had it.

They have made the first gen Camaro to where you can add just about any creature comfort you could imagine. A lot of guys are switching over to the Holley ****** EFI system just to modernize it. It still leaves you with a EFI version of the quadrajet. I think its really the way to go now days. It still allows your car to look like it has a carb on it, but you don't have to mess with the cold starts and the waiting for it to warm up. The 4L60E is a good transmission and can be built to handle some power. Mines rated at 580 I believe. A Tremec is really where its at as far as standard shift modern transmissions go. I have had several over the years and they are amazing transmissions. You for sure would want at least front disc, but really in todays world 4 wheel disc is really a better option. We all got away with disc and rear drums for years, but the way people can't drive now. It is some nice added insurance. The problem with the 69s and this has always been the case. They tend to run about 10-15k more than the 67 or 68 cars. Honestly buying one done is really your best bet. My dad is out some some serious cash to do it your self.

It's not all that hard to throw a ZF 8 speed in pretty well anything these days. A 1st Gen Camaro with a 350 / ZF 8 speed and 3.42 gears would be a great all around combo

I've owned more Chevrolets than anything, including 4 Camaros. My 2011 SS/RS remains the best one I've ever had. While I can appreciate the '69, I don't want one. My 2011 is more comfortable, faster, handles better, stops better, and is (controversial opinion inbound) better looking.

The 6.2L/6M is a ton of fun to drive, even if the automatic is faster.

I'd rather have an old Ford High Boy truck than an old muscle car/sports car at this point, personally.

A truck is definitely much more comfortable at my age!! Before getting the Warlock this year I was driving a K5 and my knees would be killing me every evening after driving home an hour.

PS: I like the Camaro!!

Sorry I haven't been posting much. I am hoping life slows down here in a few weeks.

This made much more sense to me once I realized a K5 was a Kia, not a K5 Blazer, in this context.

PS: I like the Camaro!!

It's a lot of fun. I don't drive it a lot, 1800-3k miles most years, but I enjoy it when I do. At some point it will do to me what your K5 did to you, though. I have an older knee injury that doesn't bother me much unless my knee is at a certain angle. I can run with no problem, but climbing ladders is problematic, for example. The Camaro seating position leaves me at that angle. Right now it's fine for a couple hours, but I can't comfortable road trip the car.

What was the purpose of the microphone?

 

[Wild one]

What was the purpose of the microphone?

So you could tape your thoughts/conversations while driving Remember the old cassette decks we had as kids,where you used the microphone to tape your siblings and get them in trouble (my sister used to do that,then go squeal to Mom or Dad,little b i t c h,lol),same principle
