Default The warm is coming...

Between doing the massive amount of lab reports and stuff I am doing for school I am killing some time trolling around on deh interwebz. I figured I would make a little BS thread about spring/summer lol. I know we haven't had much of a winter with snow or anything, but it has been cold enough to make me not like this winter. I am def ready for spring/summer. I was just curious about everyone's plans for cars, vacations, jobs, or anything else cool. Personally, my car is done for now. I am pretty content with how my car is now. If I come across a good deal on sway bars I might get some, but other than that probably nothing. Hopefully I get a new job as a pharmacy tech here soon. I had an interview last week that I am waiting to hear about. That will be nice since it is in my field of study. I am also planning on an epic cruise to the smokies in July depending on how gas prices look. I also want to finish polishing and stripping my wheels that I started on before the cold came in. I have one wheel left to do lol. I'll probably put my good rims back on come about March or April. So what is everyone else doing?

Ordered a DSS 9" conversion kit for the Camaro. Just waiting for parts to arrive. The only other item planned this year is a set of M/T radials, to help with traction.

Custom EPS cam, circle d 3200 stall, 25% ud pulley, t/a girdle, rear suspension upgrades, true duals. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Getting her tuned this weekend if it's nice enough. I'm so ready to drive it. Sounds like a beast just idling in the garage.
