H/C and true duals will cure that tick, it might still be there but you damn sure wont hear it.

Ticking LSX, squeaking brakes, chirping idler pulley, intermittent window motors, failed hood or hatch struts, whining rear, creaking and/or leaking
t-tops, faulty VATS, ABS INOP+BRAKE+TRAC OFF, blown OEM speakers & driver seat wear... just some of the quirks of an F-body.
When it pisses you off, drive it like you stole it for a bit consolation

the tick doesn't bother me all that much, what does bother me is the damn tensioner pulley when its cold out, oh and the "power" antenna that hasn't moved in a year yet sounds like someone is taking a sawzall to my quarter panel everytime i turn it off. I love explaining that to every person that rides in my car. Sometimes i hate that i have a perfect win record on the street in my car as well, only sometimes though.

I have a headlight motor out so when it get's dark...I hide behind a building, put the good one up, and wheel the other up manually. Then come morning time at the privacy of my own home I do that again but putting them down. I also pulled the good ones fuse so that when I shut the lights/car off...they both stay up instead of one. Pain in the ***.

Embarrassing is being at WalMart (or what have you) for too long and going out and it's dark and doing that all with people all over in your nice shiny perfectly clean new looking hot rod.

Yes I have tick too...headers.

The LT's and TD's help.

If your car is running and they can hear you order you have a problem.

I'd like a triple cheeseburger.

Okay, drive through
Here Here, we have gotten so used to it that the Camaro automatically gets shut off at the drive-thru. The real funny part is listening to the driver behind us try to order after we restart the car!
