It's Alive!!!!!

Since I have only been working maybe 1-2 days a week lately I have had to find other ways to ocupy my time, so yesterday I decided to play around with my 79 Camaro. First I had to get some lug nuts for it because I traded the old rims and just had like 2 on each wheel to hold them on while it was sitting there, then I tried putting on some mufflers I had laying around but they were the wrong size so I just left it open headers for right now. Then I got to the fun part, cranking her, put some gas in a grabbed the battery out of my wifes buick, after the gas got to te engine it fired right up, this car has been sitting here without being cranked for around 5 months and as soon as it fired up it idled right off the bat, the engine in this car is by far the most reliable and powerful one in any car I have ever owned. After I aired up the tires it was time to drive, unfortunately a rear tire blew when I was doing a burn out at the end of my street so I had to limp it back home, today I'm going to get rear tires so I can have some fun in it, just hope I dont get pulled over for not having any mufflers.

I was reading a post on another message board yesterday, and some guy there is considering putting in a twin turbo engine from a Supra into his Camaro. A little weird I suppose.

I think the funniest thing would be if the engine (like some other Japanese engines) turns out to be reverse rotation. He'd have 5 gears in reverse and one forward!

Probably because it's never been done before.

That is the dumbest, most idiotic thing ever. He should just turbocharge the Chevy V8.

I got pulled over! LOL, but the cop didnt even say anything about having mufflers, it was because my tag expired 3 years ago(reverse went out 3 years ago and I have only driven it once since then), but the cop was pretty cool, I told him I was taking it to a freinds house to work on it and wouldnt be driving it again until I had a tag and he let me go. He also pointed out that my tail lights have stoped working, but he dint give me a ticket for anything.
