I just thought I'd let everyone know that I finally drove the camaro yesterday for the first time in 11 1/2 weeks. It felt great to drive it in nice weather. It hurt driving it but I did it anyways.

For those of you who don't know, I took a nasty fall at a junkyard on 5/31 and severely dislocated my left knee. I know, I'm an idiot!! As of right now I can only bend it about 60 degrees but its SLOWLY getting better. This summer has been a complete waste but at least I can finally drive the car again, sort of. Sorry guys, I guess I just needed to vent.

 

Don't be sorry! Glad to hear you can drive your car again.

My summer was shot too (school work). I can't even believe we're in the middle of August already.

 

Back in the saddale again Yea good to hear man you probabbly have no problem using that lead foot.

 

I know the feeling. I dont drive mine much, but when I do its soooo much fun! Glad to hear the knee is getting better. I hurt my knee over the winter. Slipped on a snow covered wooden platform at a customers site during one of the numerous snow storms last year. I was only on light duty for 3 weeks... but I felt the pain for weeks. I know first hand how a knee injury can really put a strain on your daily routine. Its not fun, not at all. And to think all I had was a bad sprain and a bruised knee cap. Now get out there and DRIVE!!!!!

 

Oh I plan on driving it now! What has really made things tough is the fact that I'm a tech at a chevy dealer so I'm in work boots and on my feet on the hard shop floor all day long. I only had 2 weeks off from work, and thats only because I used up all my vacation days. Working has been tough but I had no choice! I just hate getting out of those damn tiny Cavaliers!!!! All I have to say is that knee injuries are horrible!

 

Glad to hear you're up driving again man. You should be good for a trip to the track before summer is out.

 

I sure hope so. I can't quite shift it fast enough yet, but I'm sure I'll be good to go again in a few weeks.

 

Glad to hear you are driving your Z again. In reference to your sig....you definately need to get some better tires on that thing!

About you not so comfortable boots....did you see the commercial for the GEL shoe inserts ....pretty funny..."Are you gellin' like a fellen?" LOL
you might wanna try them bro.

 

actually i am gellin! i went and picked up some of those a couple weeks after i got back to work

 

hahaha that's funny. Are they as comfortable as they say?

Now go get some better tires for that car.

 

yeah, actually they made a huge difference! im gonna get some drag radials for it next year so hopefully i'll get some good times!

 

If you wanna go with the best street slick, get the ET Streets!
You can expect 1.8 60 ft times and that will in turn lower your 1/4 times to 12.6ish.

Good luck.
