Oh - so that's not your dog's name - Willie ?

I know who the other Willie is - been listening to his work since he wrote MoTown (Will you still love me tomorrow, etc.) and have seen him several times. Ever heard Toby Keith's "I'll never smoke weed with Willie again"?

Good luck with your new toy and hopefully you will enjoy it as much as you do your Camaro.
BTW, what year Camaro do you have. We have a forum member here that is not only considered one of the top experts on C1/C2 corvettes but is also a recognized expert on first generation Camaros, plus a lot of forum members on here also have early Camaros so you have more than just Corvettes in common.
Thank you! After talking to Rich, that's the plan... and the Camaro is a 2011 Imperial Blue Rally Sport-- it's in my garage She's my BABY!

Hi there and welcome. It's nice to have another lady around here to make sure everybody behaves! Regarding warranty motor replacement. Most of the GM's in those years came with a 5 year drivetrain warranty, and service replacements could be any of the years in that period. The 68 I worked on last summer had a warranty motor in it that was 2 years newer than the car.

PS.....You look good in that hot rod!

Dah! I was talking about Curvette, and the other girl, DianeJD, that started posting last year.....nitwit!

BTW to the new girl in town, there's a guy over on the Other Topics looking for those exact slotted rims is you're changing them out. He was having a hard time finding them.
