I went beyound the normal everyday driving of the vehicle.... always had to keep an eye on it when i did..... tried to be a race car and street car and was way beyond that in what i had.
I always had to ride bymyself on the weekends when we wanted to go out.... ie two cars going everywhere... my son and wife cant ride with me.
Never had the time to take it to the track and going to the track was a $2-250 day if i didnt break anything.
Still dont have the time..... ive been gone so much latley its not even funny at least two weeks of every month so far..... 2 months straight this time... gone right now.
Blew a head gasket and really went beyond my budget.. hadnt driven the car in over a yr.
Ill build another one some day.... i know what it takes LOL.
I wanted something i can drive everywhere and everyone can enjoy (my family)
I prob wont go much farther then a cam in the GTO.... and the other supporting mods... I have quite a few other hobbies also that i enjoy and could never do them and seeing the car always down and a huge $$$ pit just got me really down.
I do miss it...... but dont regret it.

damn 39k. Thats a loaded 2SS. I priced one out on the website, and with military pricing it was at 33k basically...and im hoping by the time im ready there might even be a few used ones out there or some GM rebates on them..
I was set on a GTO, but then I changed my mind since we are bidding on a house now.. Next year it will be a new SS or a GTO or maybe a GT500 or something...

My truck started throwing several codes.
P0154 Bank 2 Sensor 1
P0102 MAF or VAF A circuit low input
P1153
I took all the plastics and sensors off while cleaning the filter several weeks ago. Re-installed it all and drove it for a day or two with no problems. I left for three weeks and right after I left my wife got a CEL. Any thoughts on why?
