Washed, waxed, and detailed wifey’s 2010 Camaro SS. That car is fun to drive, but that black paint keeps me hoppin’ trying to keep it clean! Someone told me that black vehicle owners should never let them get really dirty…….keep em fairly clean and they’ll look good longer. I’m trying!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Hell yea!!! I’m a fan! (A bit biased but a fan at any rate) yours is still looking great, that’s an earlier ‘09 build, still has e GM fender chicklets. Yours is a bit uncommon in that it looks like just an SS without the w out the RS package, cool stuff. I like the ones that are a little less common. Mine is a late Oct ‘09 build. I actually busted mine out for a cruise around town this morning.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That’s a pretty blue and I like how your tail spoiler goes up higher like my friend’s old ‘78 Z28 did. I don’t know about rarities and all that. I was told because our “SS” emblem is white, it means that it did not have the RS package or it would have been red. No worries; Mama wanted it and it’s a low mileage garage kept cream puff so we bought it out of Iowa last December. Santa & Mrs. Claus both had a good Christmas!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Awesome stuff. Mine has the RS stuff and it’s nice but with that said, I really do also like the clean no BS look of the non RS headlights. You are correct white SS means no RS. That’s a clean car! They Are getting a little harder to find with low miles like that. Mines got 67 and some change. The spoiler and grill on mine are genuine GM accessories, which I feel really compliment the GM factory equipped ground effects it has. I really don’t care much for the little bitty stock spoiler they came factory with. The black on yours looks killer, black is really hard to take care of but it looks like you’ve got it figured out good! Here’s a few of my grill and my spoiler and a cluster shot of my own:lol: (for those who are about to comment on the low tire light at that speed; 3 tires had 34-36psi and 1 had 31) I’ve had it quite a bit faster but over 120 and I’m really not focused on glory shots of the speedo. This speedo picture was taken on the back stretch at Las Vegas motor speedway.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Nobody ever told me that. Probably why my black car is filthy and has bird crap all over it.

Is bird sh*t considered patina? :confused:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

If cared for black will look good for years . 57 year old paint

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Reflection pics are awesome! ;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

X2, I love how crisp that tree looks.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Thanks ,it’s a lot of work I do a complete detail of the paint every spring. Clay all the way to wax . With a orbital Flex I burned out a porter cable and a maquiars orbitals .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Today I replaced the rear tire on my wife’s bike. Electric tongue jack works great for braking the tire bead. Use a harbor freight spin balancer works out well

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Great technique, I didn't know HF had a spin balancer....

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Used the wrong term . It's a stand balancer

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Ok, that I have seen.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That is the best way.

I was trained on an Old Snap On

Wheel balancer .

If you spent the time it was (More Gooder)

I went to the mountains for the day with momma bear and the Cubs. Left right after church just got back. This is trout lake between Dolores and Telluride, we ate supper here and let the kids play in the water for a while.

Introduced little man to riding on the lawnmower and my C10 this weekend.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Get ready. He'll be asking for the keys soon enough.(for the truck not the lawnmower)

I had a friend that always had to mow the lawn at his parents house. That was his chore. They had a huge lawn. They had a power mower but it was a push mower. He pushed that mower around for years.

When he moved out and his dad had to take over the lawn duties his old man immediately bought a really nice riding mower. :lol:

He was a little steamed about that.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Not exactly the same, but I was primarily responsible for my parents yard. About 6 of their 10 acres is yard, rest was wooded. We always had old busted ass used mowers I would have to fix at least once a month and they never seemed to have a deck larger than 42". They were at least riders though.

I went off to college fall of 1999 many states away. By summer 2000 my dad had a brand new rider with a 54" deck :rolleyes:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

:lol: Funny how that works.

Finished moving everything from the house into storage and turned over the keys to the new owners.

Bittersweet at best.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

How long were you there?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Finished up several weeks worth of work on the new boat/trailer with the rear speaker install. Gathered all the trash from the front garage and shop for tomorrow. Currently waiting out the last hour and 45 at work before loading up to go to an airbnb at Table Rock for 4 days tomorrow. First time with my own boat and the family. Not much to a lot of people, big deal to me. Wish me luck.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Table Rock Lake is in my world. Have fun.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Got an all expenses paid trip to walk down equipment I rep that is installed in the Frito Lay plant in Jonesboro. Saw enough chips to keep everyone on this board in snacks for a long while. Got no free samples though.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Hey Chip,

Have a great time, and don't sink the boat...:)

Make sure everyone has their life jackets on. I know how you drive.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That looks really good!

Too hot here to work outside (101º) so I made some of my homemade Kahlua and homemade Chocolate Syrup. My Kahlua recipe makes 4-5 bottles for about the same price of one bottle of store bought....

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Didn’t do anything to my truck, but Dad wanted his ‘87 Blue Boy washed & detailed. Spent about 5 hours on him today, but it was well worth it.

Dad wants to go out to a new ‘50s themed burger place tonight…..we’ll cruise on over in Blue Boy and check it out!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Went to car show and swap meet on Petite Jean mountain. Good sized crowd and some nice rides. Saw a nice 71 SS Chevelle and two really nice 66/67 models. One nice 68 anniversary C10 with an LS3 in it.
Nothing much at the swap meet but I did pick up this model plane. My father in law had an A35 and I loved flying in that plane.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Count me in, I’ve got a rack in the freezer I need to smoke. Maybe next weekend. Looks like you had a great meal.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Bought a swamp cooler for my dogs and a grill for myself - both have to be installed/put together

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Curious about that, got any pics / info?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I use 2 to cool my house. Pretty cheap way to do things. They are really common around here, more so than refrigerated air. They work pretty good as long as it’s not really humid. Basically it’s just a louvered metal box, on three sides there are removable doors that contain aspen pads. Water is pumped to the top of the door and allowed to drain across the aspen pad. A fan draws air thru the pads and is cooled/humidified by the water.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

My wife and I drove home from the Finger lakes area on Sunday. 250 miles in my '84. Nearly 5 hours. It was the longest trip yet that I have ever taken it. Beautiful place and beautiful weather. The truck performed flawlessly. Made it home in time to go see my Dad who just turned 80.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Yep, we have had a large (6500 CFM) roof-mounted downdraft swamper for many years. No A/C.

Just curious how he rigged one up for his dogs. My dogs would probably appreciate having one -- but they spend so much time in the house that it might not matter! ;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Took the leaf blower to the back patio to clean it off, as I have some friends coming over. Should have used the hose! Man, that's a lot of dust! Even with a mask I'm sneezing like a big dog.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I was hosing down my patio once and my environmentally correct know it all neighbor poked his head over the fence and said that I was wasting water. And that I should use my blower.

I just told him "Does the blower blow away dog piss?
