Old Rivers ave cruzer

[gxpjimmy]

Hey All. I live near charlotte now. Been here since 95. Has sucked no cruzing up here outlawed most places. Was visiting mom in Goose Creek labor day weekend. Drove thru Kmart Parking lot was wondering if anybody was out there. I have an 07 GXP with LS4. Also got a 72 Camaro. But have been bad car owner and not driven it in 2 years. Will work on it this winter. Anyway anyone no if NOS would be ok after 2 years or should i empty and refill? I been good to read about dorchester and the racing down there.

Welcome to the forum.

[Illusions]

welcome to the forum, If its a full bottle just give it to me and I will dispose of it properly for you. you just can't open the bottle and release it to the atmosphere. There is a special technique to it and only a few people know how to do it without getting in trouble with the Government.

When I'm finished disposing it I will hand you back an empty bottle good for a refill. ;)

[gxpjimmy]

Yea really think it is 3 years. I was getting ready for auto fair and broke front windshield. Got mad and have not messed with it since. Plus i have the other fast cars now so i get my need for speed from them. But nothing beats the sound of old school V8. Damn Bobby 3 years. Does it still need motor? I'm scared to open hood on Camaro. AT Least no Chrome. Blue anodized.

[gxpjimmy]

Its easy to get out of the car mood. I've got to where I hate to work on them. Been going to some car shows the past couple months. And I am ready to get Camaro going. And ready for the drag strip next year. May run Gxp but not as fast as camaro. Come on Bobby get that car going.

[Harry]

Hey Jimmy where do live in NC. We are coming up to Charlotte in about a week and a half.

[gxpjimmy]

Not far from charlotte. About 25 miles. I live in middle of nowhere. That way i can have all the cars i want.

[Harry]

Cool. We will have to try and get together when we come up. Any local tracks that are open on the weekends?

[gxpjimmy]

[Harry]

Ya, I seen the NHRA race there at ZMax this weekend. Too bad it wasn't next weekend.

[gxpjimmy]

Yea they are going to run 4 top fuel at the same time before the finals sunday. just one run. would love to feel that and hear that.

[Harry]

We were up there about a month ago at the NMCA/NMRA race when they ran 4 jet cars at the same time. That was loud.

[Harry]

Your going to have to upload some pics of your other cars.

[gxpjimmy]

OK got a few pics up. How about Mustang as pic under name and camaro as signature. Against the ford chevy rules. lol. But I have both. Chevy's rule tho. hehe

[Harry]

Hey man atleast your not prejudice to what you drive. I've owned chevys also. Had 89 GTA,94 Z28 and 96 Camaro SS. We also have 09 Murano.

[gxpjimmy]

Hey harry want to go down memory Look at myspace at the pics of my old cars http://www.myspace.com/doggiedog97

[Darryl Buckner]

Wow. I have forgot about most of that stuff. Me and Harry laughed our ass off about the T-bucket thing at cooper river dragway years ago.. I am really am getting old..:bigthumb:

[Harry]

Man I had forgotten about Donald. I remember he and cruising around on the bikes. Dam that bike sounded good with Kerkers on it. Cool pictures Jimmy, look same as always.

[gxpjimmy]

Yea it sounded good for crotch rocket. LOL. The VMAX was the Most awesome sounding. with that Kerker on it. Was you at cooper river the night i stood the vmax up? I tell that story all the time. Damn the good old days.

[Harry]

Heck ya I was. That was some funny stuff. Nothing like watching you holding on to those handlebars and chasing that bike down the track. Darryl and I was remembering you working on the T bucket in the staging lanes while the car was running and putting it in gear. Another funny moment. Atleast for all of us. Oh the good ole days.

[Harry]

I was telling my wife the T bucket story and laughing my ass off.

[gxpjimmy]

Oh yea my head was on the accelerator. I almost ran over a Z28. Damn that was close. Wow forgot about that. That was such a dangerous car to race down the strip. No seat belt, no roof, no roll bar. Wow how dumb was I. lol. That car was a POS. I sold the body for a 1000. After i went to rebuild motor and all the cylinders needed sleeves. Never picked up motor.

[gxpjimmy]

The Trans went out on Mustang. See those damn Fords. LOL. Thank goodness for extended warranty.

[Harry]

Aod or 6 speed ?

[Silver-Dollar]

I caught the tail end of the great Rivers Ave scene. For me, the Rivers Ave scene died in the late eighties. I had older friends with Mustangs, Gran Torinos, Chevelles, Swingers, and RT Challengers. Cops were a bit more forgiving and not quite as many.

But I am sure there wasn't alot of dumb shit than as there is now

[gxpjimmy]

AOD. Feels like converter. Took to carmax. Service guy calls says tech drove and nothing wrong. I told him I would not bring in for no reason. So he goes out and slowly give gas and it slips. Hate some service person tell me I don't know what I talking about. Goes to trans shop tomorrow.

[gxpjimmy]

It is the front Planetary gears. And solenoid Pack.

[Harry]

That sucks.

[gxpjimmy]

Put Cold Air on this morning. Sucks its raining so hard to test.

[gxpjimmy]

Yeah! Transmission Rebuild. In the Mustang. Only $50. Warranty is great.

[Harry]

That's awesome.
