FYI - Not really important...
I've been able to maintain my 2000 SS in pristine condition... Do not park at the supermarket, malls, etc.
However, here in San Antonio over 50% of the cars on the road do not have insurance and/or should be in a salvage yard.
I take a longer route to work to avoid traffic. Plus have the opportunity to give my baby a workout.
The other day at a yield sign this clown in a beatup rice burner pulls up so close to me that I couldn't see his headlights. I was furious! As soon as the traffic cleared, I revved my baby and dumped the clutch. When she finally hooked-up, I looked in my rear-view mirror... The rice burner was almost invisible in a tire smoke cloud. I'm sure the clown got a good taste of my tires and clutch...
BTW: Going to be 62 this year and the only disease I've got is the need for speed... Have been stopped three times for exhibition of acceleration. Have yet to lose a race in my SS... Enjoy blowing the doors off of Mustangs..
More BTW:
Those people with the giant mufflers on rice burners are the biggest joke around. They must have seen the movie Fast and Furious... Guess they think the muffler is the trick for speed.
Later...
