At least he didnt tell him to buy starter fluid.
I cant wait until Mr. Neighbor gives his opinion on the Opti Spark, how to drain the differential and which headers to buy.

The Silver is not an anniversary model, its the 96 Collector Edition which there is nothing collectible about it.

there were no anniversary package cars that weren't ruby red. they all got the bagging, but only if you checked the anniversary package did you get the official package

Damn.
All these years, I've been starting my car incorrectly.
Probably why my '76 carbed Stingray ran like crap, too.
Pumped the gas before I turned the key, once.
Now you're gonna tell me I should've pumped it twice, turn the key 3 times, step on the brake, dump the clutch, and check the blinker fluid, then crank it. Right?

The double key turn may be 
but from my experience it occasionally takes a prayer or a little verbal coaxing. Come on baby, come on . Start , start, Oh God not again ............. vroom , vroom ............ There ya go.

Your neighbor is the proverbial Corvette Queer.
Bet it takes him a half hour to do his special african honeybee dance he made up then his prep procedure before he figures out what hole to put it in.
