It's like that day over MuchoMacho.

In 1978 I headed off to the University of Illinois as a freshman, ready to expand my mind. With me, I brought a magazine clipping I posted on the bulletin board of my dorm room.

Junebug, my ‘98 Z28 never ceased to amaze me with the abuse she could put up with. After putting near 100,000 miles on it myself, I finally spun a rod bearing at around 170,000 miles, and while that may not seem like much, this was after a decade of daily driving that including:

I haven’t had any issues, the only mod I’ve done is the Ford Racing brake duct kit to keep the breaks cool at track days.
