Not a big deal to those of you in the warmer climates, but I started the Camaro and let her run until she was warm. So sweet to have an engine I built fire right up and run so well. Long live the carb! The sound, the smell, the way it made me feel. What a way to start the year! :thumbsup:

I started mine a few days ago and it certainly gets you you thinking about warmer weather and cruzin around again. If I didn't have the Z up on the rolling stands and packed away for the winter I would have gone for a ride!

Looks like winter is trying to make an appearance this morning, I was really hoping that the great weather we had been having so far would stick with us but I guess not. We will have to wait for a while now to take that cruise......but we will!

I hope to join you guys on that cruise this year. My New Years Resolution is to spend less time in front of the computer and more time in the garage. I'm gonna post starting pics later today if I don't get any work .

Start a thread up in the "projects" forum Jeff so we can all follow your progress. As always if you need a hand with something let me know. With some advance notice I can usually make time for helping friends out.

I've got a thread over there that hasn't been updated in forever. My phone is ringing off the hook with side jobs today, the extra money will help keep me motivated even if I can't spend it on the car. At least I won't feel so guilty about running up the gas and electric bills that way. I'm shooting the First of the year pics as I head out to the real job today.

X2!!!!

so far, I drove the 68 until Jan 2nd 2012 which is a new record for me. I am trying to minimize the post-put-em-away depression that happens during the New England winters.

This morning it was 7 degrees F out. BRRRR.... the small amount of heat in the 68 makes that too cold for a pleasure cruise.
