I have had a pretty lazy winter. I haven't started my car since early December. I was thinking it might be wise to pull the coil wire and turn it over a bit to get some oil moving before I actually start it. Worth the trouble?? Bad idea??? Any thoughts???

From its inception onward, the Camaro's bloodline has always been that of the barbarian musclecar. It makes no pretense about refinement, advanced ergonomics, or "sportscar" handling. Hell, how refined is a car that has been around for four decades and still uses solid axle rear suspension? None of those things are the point or purpose of the car. It is a wonderfully affordable, brute force base that has great potential for personalized development. For econobox dollars, it offers some of the best value in a car that can be adapted to motorsports. I'd love a Z-06. I'd love an Exige. But realistically, I can afford a Camaro- which, with a bit of development, can give most of what the others offer at a cost I can manage without catastrophic expense. Enjoy it for what it is- a basic bargain in performance.
