As you may be able to tell, there has been a lack of updates in 2011.  There was a lot of great things going on that kept me busy and kept me running.  Car shows, racing events, and general life got in the way.  So to make up for it, here is a quick recap of 2011, and then what to expect in 2012.

My 2011 Camaro Show Schedule

Welcome to Spring, 2011! I am glad to be posting here again.  I have some cool things lined up for this year, so be sure to subscribe for updates in the upper right hand corner.

Now that the snow is pretty much gone and the days are getting warmer, I am getting excited to bring the Camaro out of storage soon and get it ready for the upcoming shows.  I have been thinking of the upcoming year and in addition to some new mods, I want to make sure I hit more car shows with it than I did last year. I think anyone with a nice car needs to take it to shows, period. It gives you a good chance to detail your car thoroughly, spend a nice day away from work, make some new friends, and it helps you to continue to take pride in your ride. Plus, you might walk away with a trophy or door prize.

So let’s kick off 2011 with my 2011 car show schedule!

Well my friends, another summer is over.  Time to start preparing to put the Phantom SS away for another bitter cold Michigan winter.

I wanted to take the time to cover highlights that have happened in the past year, in addition to being featured at SEMA 2009.

How to save money on car parts, or just about anything else!

I hope no one minds my tangent on this one. I have been pretty busy with a lot of cool things for the summer in between working hard and trying to have fun and haven’t been able to update the blog about the car in a while. I hope to find the time to write about my 1st place win at Camaro Superfest soon, along with a very cool addition to the photo gallery from that show.

But for now, here’s something I wanted to share with my loyal readers and you will thank me for this one.

Recently, someone posted on CamaroZ28.Com how to save 20% or more on Advance Auto Parts’ web site by using coupon codes. I realized that I know how to save even more from there, or AutoZone or just about any other major online retailer for car parts or nearly anything else. I am talking about cashback programs, and I have been using them for a long time and I have probably saved $3,000 over the past few years.  I mentioned in that thread that I figured out a way to save even more and offered the info to whoever PM’d me.  I got dozens of PMs, so I thought it would be easier to make this entry.

So here’s how to you do it…

A Few Small 2010 Camaro Appearance Upgrades

People always say, “the devil is in the details”. I truly believe that. I always like to make my car unique, and it doesn’t have to be major changes. Here are a few small appearance upgrades that I made recently to set my car apart from the rest…even more.

Black Bowties
This one became a must.  I cannot tell you how many times people would compliment my car, but then would add “but the gold bowties gotta go”.  One of the first things I did this year was change the gold factory bowties out for a set of DefenderWorx billet bowties.   Here’s the front…
