Yet another Chevy badged car flips at Indianapolis - I hope they fix the issue before the race. I'd have to think they are making progress on the issue and not just allowing people to race even after three incidents.

Meet the 2016 Chevy Camaro, now available with a Turbo 4. I like how they've sculpted the panels. Gives the appearance of being a smaller car. I wonder how much smaller it is than the current Camaro. Also it does not appear like Chevy worked on driver visibility much either. So, external visibility should be much like the old car - about as much or slightly more than the view out of a Sherman tank port hole.
What do you guys think of this car?

Did not drive the car yesterday for fear of thunderstorms. Today I wanted to wash it. After spending time pondering on whether I should just take the short cut and use the Griots Garage waterless wash, I determined that it was only right to use the hose and the two bucket method.
Of course no sooner than I start washing, neighbor lady decides to raise a dust cloud under the cover of edging her lawn. I knew there'd be surface contaminants. Pulled the car into the garage and used the clay bar on it. I was amazed at how much dirt came off of the car. I usually clay once or twice per year and have never had so much dirt. Probably had to do with the dusty paddock at Lime Rock and the drive to Billmans.
Clay complete, I took the short cut and applied a coats of Meguiars NXT, as much as I wanted to do the two step Poor Boys World products. I was dog tired after washing the Si, the Subie and the S2000. Wax complete, I stepped back and admired it. Not quite M355 perfect, but it looked rather good to me. Also cleaned the glass on the car. I then decided it was time to give the seals some shiatsu and applied Shinetsu. That complete, I just finished lunch. Now I plan to get JJ to join me on a spin through the countryside. I hope I hit no dirt roads.
