First show of the year!

Had a great day in the Michigan sun yesterday. A local Chevy dealer has a camaro show every year and I took out the iroc. I've still gotta few things to work out but it was a blast. Feels good to have it out n

Long story short, I enjoyed a bacon maple donut and took home the first place trophy for third gens!

Re: First show of the year!

Very nice....We had a few shows here over the past few weekends. Definitely feels good to get the car out. The only thing missing from the shows I went to were the donuts!!!!

Re: First show of the year!

Thanks for the kind words everybody. It really means a lot!

I swapped the plugs out today and now I have a pop coming out of the exhaust. This dude is confused. Looks like ill change wires next and see if that helps. I want to drive the car!

Re: First show of the year!

It was my first time seeing one! I've heard of them on food network, but never encountered the tasty little devil.

Thanks for the compliments
