Trying to make sure Webby doesn't end up like Dan you mean? I take it your flight crew showed up ready for action.
Safe and sound in Pittsburgh before you guys got 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.

Bill, what on earth are you doing up at 4:45 AM?
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.

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.

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.

Brilliant!
Dan, maybe this would also show Webby how good you are at being responsible when you have authority over people.

LOL. That is a hilarious line, but we know what Dan does with authority, heck his entire workforce hates him.

Dealer Service
in forum Local Services
Hubler Chevrolet get a negative star rating for customer service to my Dad.
A piece of hood seal came loose up front (small piece to keep air from getting under the hood) of his new Z06. He ran down there to see if they could fix it for him while he bought a spare cf spoiler lip and front underneath air dam. The service manager said they did not have time to take care of it. That's it. No, "too busy can we schedule, etc..." it was just "we dont have the time to look at it" and went on with his business.
So, where in town is a good Chevy dealer who appreciates people who buy their new high end cars?

Mark, the Lotus links pics are great!
Big spotting weekend for me. Of course this time of year everyone is out, so too many to list but some high lites:
Z club buzzed the house. I was in the barn and heard them but by the time I could see, Mark was gone and I saw the last couple cars.
Red new Z06 on 135, possibly with his foot to the floor as the exhaust cut-out were wide open.
The roll cage Bimmer Mark listed with company came by too.
A Ferrari 355 yellow coupe twice now in Brownstown. Local plates for me. Gotta find out who he is.
Oh, and the best one, Casey in the silver Subi, chasing the Z club, but about an hour behind! Your new wheels look great.

Same red 308 and a blue Boxster S today.
Vettecop, the 308 if an 85 QV with tan int might be Tami A, she lives up there. Her dad may drive it some too. She is a non-posting member here, says she'll get to one of the gatherings soon.

another different '73 Stingray (red again, but a coupe)
a 60s Camaro, didn't see the front so I don't know what year
a 60s Camaro, didn't see the front so I don't know what year
Time for "Weekly spotting tip for Webby", with your host, SMS.
You don't need to see the front/rear of a first generation Camaro to ID the year. 67 has side door vent window, 68 does not. 69 does not, but of course also has the squared off wheel wells.
Now the quiz... what engine was in the 73 Corvette you spotted?
