Here is a PSA for this month. If you notice a bulge on the outside of the sidewall of your tire, get it looked at immediately. I noticed a slight bulge on the rear tire this week and when I dismounted the tire it revealed significant damage to the bead. This was most likely done when the tire was installed just before I bought the car last Nov. I just started driving it now that the salt is gone and noticed it after only about 200 miles. All good now, but had that blown out, that would have really SUCKED!

Out with the old and in with the new. Upgrading and consolidating from 2 boxes into one large tool chest. The black craftsman box I bought on Black Friday about 20 years ago. I’m going to pass it over to Bradley and the red cart to Hannah’s boyfriend.

Last weekend we were teased with some really warm weather. Almost got the Camaro out, but then it snowed so I put it back under the cover. However, it did force me to finish up the last few items before summer cruising starts. Installed the exhaust control module, mounted and wired the radar detector, new truck release button, coolant flush, changed the diff and transmission fluids and added the chin splitter. Hoping for an early spring.

It has been 10 years since I had a hotrod. I started looking last summer after I sold my motorcycle but life got in the way a bit. Then about 6 weeks ago I started looking again. I found this 2015 Camaro SS convertible with a manual 6 speed transmission and pulled the trigger. Bought it from Carvana, and other than not having any ability to negotiate price, it was an absolutely spectacular experience. Looks like I have the rest of this week before winter comes before I put it to sleep for the winter. Thanks to my wonderful wife for the support in my search.
