Many thanks to our GM cousin's... the F-Bodies (Firebird and Camaro)... who have invited regional enthusiast car clubs to particpate in their annual cruise.

Their selected cruise region, just outside of the metroplex, is really a lot of fun. If any club members would like to join me... that would be awesome, I don't want to be the only one representin'! I think we will be stopping in at the Pate too, some of you guys may remember it from Spring Fling II.

I know that some of the W-Bodies (Grand Prix, Impy's, and Monte's) will be going too.
Should be a lot of fun, and a great way to spend a Saturday.

That would be fun. But I can't make it. I have a shoot to do...just can't remember what it is for. Also, that is the day for TMS Laps for Charity, and I can't make that either.

Argh!

With AER not rained out... I am still commited to making this.

Since we will be out in my neck of the woods... any participants might have to head back to my place for supper, cigars, y cerveza.

Yeah, I should have no problem coming to this one. I just finished bleeding my brakes ...again. I found something that makes bleeding brakes super fast and painless. It took me more time to take off the wheel than to bleed the line.

C-ya there!

Ask for Speed Bleeders at your local auto parts store. (M10 x 1.5 for my '87 rears. I don't know if it is the same for '88s) They are about $7 for a pair. You sub these out for the bleeder screws. Tighten them down and unscrew them about 1/4 to 1/2 turn. SLOWLY pump the brake pedal. These bleeder screws have a one-way check valve inside that closes when you are not applying pressure. It will let air and fluid out and keeps it that way. Tighten the bleeder screw when you are done. It took me less time to bleed the caliper than it did to take off the wheel.
