Road trip a couple weekends ago with Steve, hope he doesnt mind me posting a few of his pictures since he has a better camera than I do haha.

Anyway, it was a blast

That was an awesome trip, thanks for posting those. I'm almost done with the video.

Looks like an awesome trip you guys




Any of you VW guy's going to make it to this?

The ws6 trans am is sweet, way under rated.

if I wasn't busy I would be tempted to bring the wife's mini van steve, of course my truck would be more fun, hopefully in a few months here I will have something that i can go do some twisty mountain roads with you guys.

thank you... i believe the same thing. you dont see them around ( yes there are a million and a half formula birds out there along with our v6 retarded cousins but not many WS6's rolling around in good condition

Now that's a cool road, where is it?

Are you asking about this road? - click on it to make it bigger.



This is Highway 12, between Bryce Canyon, Escalante, and Boulder.

 

[MikeGyver]

Epic, i need to drive that. It one side better to start at than the other?

 

[sixstringsteve]

It's awesome no matter which way you drive it. I like going from east to west, but they're both extremely fun. My video should be up later this afternoon, and it has footage from that drive. Incredible area. Every Utahn who hasn't been to Escalante needs to get down there asap.

If you search the Utah scenic byways, it shows you the most scenic/fun places to drive.

thanks guys, its got a couple minor things that need fixing (clearance the headers, fix the back up lights so they work, fix a minor clutch leak, and figure out shake in front end) but its got front suspension done, ls3, T-56, posi rear end, about 4000 miles on complete rebuild including taking it down to bare metal and repainting. only about 1400 on the new ls3.

 

[Greg]

Lucky SOB!

 

[blznnp]

Lucky SOB!

I wanted to build one, but for the price of this one, I might have been able to build it, but that means I would have had to of gotten one with a good body/paint for cheap, cheap for a 1st gen camaro that is.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Congrats, that's a beauty.

road bikes would belong in the pavement thread, right?

anyway, here's my wife and mine "hipster" bikes. hers is a baby blue late 70's sears brand all-pro with oddball 26x1 3/8 tires. her old tires still have Japanese with some English on them!
dude I bought it from said it was his granddads and he hated to get rid of it. been a fun bike and my wife loves to ride it.
mine is a 1981 Schwinn varsity with faded stickers and some crusty spokes but all the chrome and badge are in great shape. been a fun bike but slightly heavy and a learning experience with some time at the collective to get it going. just did a pub ride downtown to watch the Real game and it was awesome.
