CHEVY I Finally Got One of My Dream Cars
I live about an hour away from Bowling Green. I was gonna go last year but I wasn't feeling well. The year before that, Camaro Fest was in progress the day I got my SS. I wanted to go drive the car around anyway and ended up hanging out in the hotel parking lot after the days activities had...- Opie Knievel

CHEVY I Finally Got One of My Dream Cars
To each their own. The 5th gens are cool and they brought the Camaro back from the dead. Personally, I'm not a big fan of convertibles but I can see why someone would want one. I love the 6th gens and they're the last V8 with a manual transmission you can get from Chevy. It's crazy to me that...- Opie Knievel

CHEVY I Finally Got One of My Dream Cars
So, I haven't been doing G body things for a while now. One reason, no room. Another reason, I've been doing Camaro things. Some of you may remember that I bought a '17 Camaro SS about a year and a half ago. I loved that car and thoroughly enjoyed it but deep down I wished I had a ZL1. So, last...- Opie Knievel

20 years of GBodyForum? What's Next?
20 years?!?!?!? Well, that makes me feel old. Apparently I've been a member since 2010, which makes sense, that's when I got my '83 Cutlass 4 door that I used as a daily driver for a while. I know I don't check in here as often as I should and my Monte Carlo is sitting in project car...- Opie Knievel

I Bought Some "New" Muscle
Yeah. I'm thinking it needs a Corsa exhaust and a cold air intake soon.- Opie Knievel

I Bought Some "New" Muscle
A lot of you guys might not remember me. Some of the guys who've been here for a long time might. I have an '86 Monte that's been sitting in a garage for 5+ years that I just don't have the space to work on at my new place. So, new place, new job, I decided that I wanted a cool car that I can...- Opie Knievel

What Have I Missed Lately?
Most of the knowledge I had was pushed out by trucking BS. Hopefully I can relearn something important someday. Lol- Opie Knievel

What Have I Missed Lately?
Apparently I'm essential now. Lol. Which I think loosely translates to expendable but I can't prove it. I'm driving a 2020 Freightliner Cascadia. Working for May Trucking Company until I get my first year in and then I'm gonna look for something better. I have a couple of leads already.- Opie Knievel

What Have I Missed Lately?
Seems like the McRib is a pretty divisive topic around here. On that note, I've already had a couple since they came back out.- Opie Knievel

What Have I Missed Lately?
If anyone was wondering (I'm sure they weren't) I'm still alive for some reason or another. I don't check in much anymore. I'm on the road driving a truck across the country delivering your food and beer. Your welcome for the beer. Just thought I'd say hey. Maybe I'll get lucky enough to find a...- Opie Knievel

Working thru corona virus
I'm doing OTR all 48 states right now. I've been from Tennessee to California and back in the last few weeks. I'm wanting to go local after I get some experience. I'm enjoying seeing the new sites right now though.- Opie Knievel

Working thru corona virus
Fair point. It's nice not to have to deal with all of idiots right now though. I passed my solo test Monday and I'm on the way to pickup my truck today. It's a 2019 Frieghtliner Cascadia. It should have pretty low miles on it.- Opie Knievel

Working thru corona virus
I just started working again after 2 years of staying at home while the wife worked full time. Been on the road driving a truck across the country for almost 2 weeks now with a trainer. I'm supposed to solo out in a few days and get my own truck. If there's anything good that's came of this...- Opie Knievel

MONTE CARLO Drive Shaft Loop
Looks clean to me. If the bolts are engaging properly and everything else is in order, I say run it. I'm envious. I can't wait till the under-carriage of my car looks that clean (which may be a couple of years). Good luck with the project.- Opie Knievel

Forgotten but Not Gone
I figured you had accumulated a few stories over the years. All of our instructors were former drivers and they all had interesting stories to tell. I think all of the manual transmission trucks that the school had were 10 speeds. Hell yeah on being able to work just half the year! One of the...- Opie Knievel
