and 80 up had all numbers over 55 in yellow/orange. Here's my car, just hit 43,000 miles, all original. Sat in my father-in-law's barn in Texas for 22 years :D

My 84 Camaro Z28 speedo only goes to 85. At least if I ever get pulled over and they ask if I know how fast I was going, I can honestly answer "no."

Yep, you have the right guy. I don't mind the winters too much, I grew up here in Wisconsin. I definitely don't miss the summer heat in Texas. I haven't been around here at all for a few years, just stopped in today because I had found some old pictures of one of the gatherings down in TX...

Here's my Saddleback front pocket wallet in the Tobacco color after 10 hard years. I would never buy anything else, but I'll probably never have to.

Oh man, I absolutely love Sunset Orange Metallic. That, Dark Cherry Metallic, and Blue Green Crystal are the three best paint colors GM has ever used. Those cars are all beautiful, and you gotta respect the WS6.

The "Trans Am" is basically a trim level of the Firebird, the same way the Camaros have SS or Z28 versions. Trans Ams had the more powerful engine options, different badging and decals, and some slight differences in some of the body work (rear spoiler, bumper, etc). They also typically included...

Wow, very nice! I have to say I'm a little jealous. I've always thought it's kind of funny how the Camaro and Firebird traded off being the better looking one each redesign. The second generation Firebirds were definitely better looking to me than the Camaros, but the 3rd gen Camaros retook the...

Also found out this morning that the Tin Star Ranch is not at all what it used to be. The cabins are still there, but the Old West Town has been completely remodeled into guest condos. The new owners apparently wanted a more modern style event venue. You can see it at www.contigoranch.com if you...

Saddleback Leather Company. www.saddlebackleather.com They have an honest-to-goodness 100 year warranty on their products. I've had a wallet from them for about a decade now, and it looks better than the day I got it. They make them out of boot leather, with pigskin lining.

Oh boy, I haven't been here in a while. Stumbled across some old pictures from Fredericksburg this morning and got to thinking about Hank and Piper. Man, I sure miss both those guys. Here's some more pics from there. What a motley crew we were!

Hi everyone, I don't get on the forum much any more, but I was asked by Miss Susie to let all of Hank's friends here know that she is doing well and says hello. I was in New Orleans a couple weeks ago for a trade show, so I played hooky for a day and drove over to visit Susie and family. I...

I use a desktop PC with a 4TB external HD running Plex Media Server (www.plex.tv). I connect to my TV using a Roku3 running the Plex app. It connects with the server automatically over my local Wifi. I can also stream any of my content remotely to my phone using the Plex app or to a laptop using...

Hey everyone, It hurts so much to type this, but Hank passed this morning. He was one of a dying breed, one of the true good guys. He will truly be missed. Please keep Susie and the rest of his family in your prayers. I can't imagine how hard this has been for them.

I haven't been around here much, but I got a message from Hank's son Henry tonight and felt the need to check in here. He's having some complications from his surgery now. He was home, but is back in the hospital. I can share more details if you want to PM me. He could use all the prayers and...
