Default What did you do to your Camaro today?

Simply post what you did to your Camaro today. Whether it be you changed the oil, lowered it, gave it a good cleaning and wax, etc.

It's fun to see what other people are doing for motivation or an idea to do something to your own Camaro.

I'll start..

My fog lights have not been working since I bought it a month ago so I checked some stuff and found the bulbs to be bad. Went to Pep Boys, came back and replaced the bulbs. Now they work great!

Got ready to leave my friends house, turn the engine over, drive ten feet and the glasspack fell off. lol, wow. Luckily I had my Rhino Ramps with me in the boot to which I temporarily fixed it. I will be getting it welded back rather then a crappy C-clamp. ina few days. Adjusted the rear shocks from level 4 to 6. Drove it a bit. Seemed a bit stiffer however I might kick it up to 7 tomorrow.

Changed the oil, wash, back in the garage, hook up to C-Tek charger then covered. Little over 1000 miles the past 12 months. It needs to get out more.

That's a nice paper weight you've got therejk

I drove mine today.(I drive it everyday) I detailed the outside yesterday so it would be nice for today. I put the top down on my way home from school and I revved at this black vert viper that was coming toward me. He heard about 5500rpms

Had the front mail seal and U/D pulley replaced (seal was worn out bad and pulley had a nasty ridge in it).

Oil change with Mobil 1 5w30 synthetic
