One of the oldest,
probably the best. Definitely the fastest. 94 Mercruiser Bravo III, 250
prop hp... That engine definitely needed that marine raw water cooling.
Overheats off a 2 1/2" aluminum rad.
Transmission went bad, got too strong of a 3-speed in it, then developed
a problem with snapping spider gears. Cobalt foot. :) |

Replaced the Z28..
strangely. A tank that made the basically non-stop 2,300 kilometer drive
to Las Vegas, and back, without a hitch. ICBC wrote it off when it
impacted an Eclipse into a concrete building hard enough that the rear
wheels on the Eclipse weren't attached anymore. |

Finally back in a
Camaro, with a much better body. My first (and so far only) flashy car.
2.8, pipes much too big. Lots of roar, but it was still a 16 second car
that couldn't break 170. It went away when it started blowing
electronics on a weekly basis. |

The Cava, which is
about as remarkable as the Caprice. And my dad's new Burbie, which is
much nicer than anything else that's ever been in our driveway. The Cava
is crappy, and I almost went through the clutch before an electrical
short took it off the road. |

Replaced the Cava on
Labor Day. It sounds like it's got a turbine instead of an engine, which
makes me dislike it. It also leaks in the trunk, and scares the shit out
of people when you pull up on them real fast.
I am indeed amused by simple things. |
