After about three years off the street, and two years off the track, I went down today and registered the 96 Camaro and it is now once again 100% street legal. Lights work (no horn, don't tell anyone). Hell, AC still works.

Never mind that roll bar, and the big empty spots that used to be rear seats, and radio, and spare tire. Pay no attention to those wires behind the glovebox. Those big fat tires, yeha what about 'em...doesn't everyone have big tires? And yes, everyone should have a fire extinguisher in the cabin with them, along with their 5 point harnesses, and of course who can get along without a proper electric system cut off within reach of the safety crew, uh I mean, Highway Patrol. Yes your honor, my car has a muffler...most of the time.

The car is still too low, it hits even medium size gravel in the roadway. Speed bumps....forget it. Most driveways...forget it. But I'm too lazy to raise it.

At least it is really cool......

Next post may be how much the ticket was for......wish me luck.

The wife's 94 Z is like that, except it has an interior. With the top down and the rollbar sticking out for all to see, it does attract attention. It's ton's of fun to drive, even if we have to keep a second PCM on hand to pass inspections and it's sprung just a little too soft for me.

Thanks for the encouragement guys.

Luckily we don't have inspections where I live.

I'm not anticipating anyone wanting a ride from me anytime soon. The vast majority of people see the racing seat and 5 point harness in the passenger position and they just shake their head in wonderment. Then I tell them it's not really a race car because the real race cars don't have a passenger seat! Nobody will get in it but my youngest son (22).

I went for a ride this afternoon and filled up the gas tank for the first time in awhile. 40 bucks worth of premium.

Went to the parts store to buy some Seafoam gas treatment. I got on it a little bit leaving and the employee that was leaving work right then just stared with disbelief. Most of the 96 Camaro's they see are coming in for some oil and radiator stop leak, and maybe some muffler patch and a smelly mirror hanger. Mine sounds more like a jet when I run it up through the first three gears. Cant get past three gears anywhere in town, at least not with any hope of avoiding a ticket.

My stereo guy desperately wants to put a system in the car.....I'm thinking about it. He just did my Ridgeline, and it is sweet!

Still having fun!!
