I live in Raleigh right now and plan on getting some exhaust work done by a shop here; After that gets done I'll move on to the paint. You're probably only about 45 minutes away..maybe an hour. How much do you think it would be to get a Camaro painted the OEM pewter/light silver metallic color? I don't think it would need to be stripped completely but rather just sanded down..thanks bud!

I know exactly where Worthington Mill Rd is. It used to be nice area until developers builds gazillion new homes. There is no more farms, corn fields and open space any more.
Richboro is not the same any more.
Spread Eagle Inn is now relocating 200 ft south.
Old Richboro Elementary School has been relocate 1000ft further back and there is new Bank / office building occupied that place.
I remember Richboro used to be farming community. Now it is more like fast pace small city / suburban area.
You don’t wanna be at 2nd St Pike and Almshouse Rd intersection during rush hour. You’ll developed more new profanity words. ..LOL
From my father’s house to Spread Eagle Inn use to takes 5 minutes but now it takes a good 15 to 25 minutes.

I remember hearing about the spread eagle getting moved back before I left! I thought they had moved it once already?! And as far as the old elementary school, you'd think there are enough banks/offices around richboro that they wouldn't need more!
I wonder if tanner brothers is still there? I worked there for a short time when I was a teenager before we moved. Always got our milk there, fresh milk and in plastic bags
I came back to richboro probably 5/6 years ago and it had changed so much in a matter of 3 years. I can't even imagine what's like now. My dad wanted to move back to NC to get back into the country life. Phew, what a good choice! I love living out in the country now, and I really appriciate it now that I own my own house.
Ill make it back someday. I'll make sure I avoid 2nd street pike/almshouse during rush. It was pretty conjested when I left, I can only imagine now

Didn't you know Davis Pontiac is gone?
I think O Neil Buick, GMC & Pontiac owns Davis Pontiac

My father and I met Mr. Davis many time at Northampton Country club / Fitness Center.
Ever since Mr. Davis sold his dealership, my father could not get in touch with him for awhile.
edit...I found it....Davis Pontiac sold it's dealership to O Neil.

I used to go to school with his son (buddy). Business seemed real good when I left, they were there forever. That's crazy.
I think Ive highjacked my own thread
