    Im home, alive and kicking. They lost one of my bags in China between my first flight and my 2nd, was the one with my RC and all my RC stuff, so I was stressing. It finally was delivered to my parents yesterday. Everything in it and all that junk.

    I bought me a 86 Camaro with a 2.8V6 auto tranny. She wanted $800 and it was out of time, her son put in a different distributer and it would start hard and only run if you 2 footed it. Well I made the offer for $400 and she took it and 5 minutes later, I had it timed and running like a champ, she was kicking herself when she heard it idle. I went to the notary, got a transit tag and drove it 2 hours home from Pittsburgh and she got 25.76mpg HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Its in OK shape, the only real rust is in the passenger floorboard and I already patched that up. New tires all around, new brakes, rotors, shocks and struts, new drums, brake lines, all that stuff already done within last 6 months. I put a new exhaust on it, had a new muffler already, so just a $36 pipe from the cat to the muffler. She runs like a dream and drives real good. Feels great to finally have 4 honest wheels under my arse, not 2 little scooter tires and some freedom.

    Scott, glad to hear you are back and got such a great deal on a car. It's all uphill from now on. Or is that downhill on the way up? :banana:
    That Camaro would probably scrap for what you paid for it.
    It's Spring and the weather is warmin up everywhere. Put a smile on your face and be happy.
