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.

I can see the reason why to take the car "off the road" if it is strictly a race car especially the high powered ones. Parts are not cheap. But for someone like me who is only DEing and Autoxing there is no reason to "take it off the road". Most of the people I know hardly drive there toys at all. I drove mine to work today and usually drive it all weekend. It is too much fun not to drive it. I agree on whats the point of having a car if you do not drive it.
