We are happy. and the CEO is an absolute HOOLIGAN behind the wheel…

I wondered why I felt a stirring in my blood, and heard the distant sound of thunder. RIP Holden.

The wheel/tire adventure was a success. Grabbed these off this dude’s 2015 SS Sedan this afternoon. Talked him down a good bit over the phone, then further in person.. We were still both happy with the deal-so that’s good. He also was kind enough to meet us just over halfway..

Otw home, we ran into O’Reilly Auto Parts, and grabbed (20) lugnuts. Didn’t want the garbage ass locks, so I grabbed (5) individual packs of (4) Dorman closed end, tapered seat M14x1.5, chrome units. The dude at the counter hooked us up with the COP CAR DISCOUNT.

Right at 50% off, and I’ll be slapping the new shoes on tomorrow. This evening she scored a complete K&N cold air system, along with a Camaro SS hood vent. This car will be very different appearance-wise from when we picked it up 72hrs ago… Exhaust will be done this week. Freaking YEAH DUDE.
