Damn, I was trying to catch up, but the traffic to Story was rediculous, after that, alllll clear!
Casey, we went around Story on backroads and got back onto Hwy 135 South of Story, but north of SMS's house. Made great time, lots of turns and ZERO traffic. We did the same thing around Nashville on backroads. We even had to pull over for a short bit south of SMS's house for one person suffering from motion sickness.
Overall, we were very well behaved the whole day, but scared one Z gy that came down from Michigan hafl to death. I guess they drive slower there. LOL! SMS...while we were waiting for the car sick person to get better, I mentioned you house we flew past and the 308 sitting in the garage. The group wanted to turn back and raid your garage for a look. We thought it best not to surprise you with a sudden visit.

Bill, the Corvette drove by so I couldn't find out what engine. The Camaro, I didn't even see the side of, only the taillights.

Well you can tell from just the tail lights too, but this ain't Camarochat.

As far as I'm concerned a Camaro counts as a sports car, and it was in the Midwest, so, how do you tell the year of a Camaro by the tail lights? 
I don't think I'll remember enough detail but at least I'll know in the future.

I don't think I'll remember enough detail but at least I'll know in the future.Ok, tail lights. 67 and 68 both have rectangular lights surrounded by chrome metal bezels, but the 68 also has a verticle chrome piece of the bezel dividing the assembly into two separate lenses.
69 lights are not really rectangular as the outer ends are canted toward the center of the car following better the curve of the seam between the fender and rear panel. 69 also has different bumpers and the gas cap is consealed for the first time behind the license plate.
Lens layout and colors vary by trim options but the above notes stay consistant.

You mean besides thinking about Camaros and trying to raise our boy Webby properly?
I was sitting in the Louisville airport waiting on my flight crew to show up.

I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood
Know the song?

Camaro songs:
Is it Yellow Camaro? Or Bitchin Camaro? "I've got a Bitchin Camaro and they have to ride the bus"
Other Camaro songs, there was a late 60's Chevy promo ad song, faith Hill has one that says "t-top Camaro". Also Bob Seger's Horizontal Bop talks about "pony cars crusing on Woodward Avenue." That means Camaro to me.

Trying to make sure Webby doesn't end up like Dan you mean? I take it your flight crew showed up ready for action.

Noblesville used car lots on Allisonville Rd: 60's Chevelle blue with white racing stripes. Looks to be a 454. I was driving home with a hot pizza and in a hurry, so didn't get anymore than that.
Dreamed about a 56 Nomad last night, orange with white top. Just kept driving back and forth past it. Odd dream.

I really can't say what was in my dream this morning, but I did have another interesting sighting. A small motor home with two "barn find" looking project cars on the trailer. A 65 Chevelle SS and a 73+/- Dodge Charger. The faded paint showed the outline of the old RT stripe package. Both needed a lot of work but was a cool looking pair of project cars.

Two sightings today...nice to be out of the house...
~ 5pm. headed west on 465 around Keystone Ave...Red NSX with window tint
Just a short time later, I HEARD it before I saw it. I was walking into the Costco at Castleton, and heard the sound of a 351 Cleveland, stopped in my tracks in the parking lot, looked toward the road and there it was...Pantera. I couldn't name the color. Not sure if it was blue, green or a shade of the two. SEXY!
Duz185...I need a fix...please give me a ride! I'm begging!!!!
