Once again finding ourselves off topic... At least we had some good ideas
 What?!! I was just resting my eys! |

| Wes: | Hey Ross, what's the deal with Steve's Camaro? We've been meeting every Thursday for awhile, but never seem to work on the car. Is that it? No more Camaro or what? |
| Ross: | I was beginning to wonder about that myself. Maybe he didn't like the way we were playing with his toy. You now, like he took his ball and went home? |
| Wes: | More like he took his ball and went to the beach! Have you seen the hulk of a car sitting in the garage. It, and the garage are covered from top to bottom in sand from blasting. Maybe we should bring a Volley ball net next Thursday. |
| Ross: | Hmmm... You may be on to something there. We can push the hulk out of the garage, get some sun lamps, lounge chairs and have a day at the beach! Why not?! As you said, the car's not getting worked on anyway. Might as well put all that sand to SOME use. |
| Wes: | Good idea. On a serious note. He did get the frame rails in from Arizona. They are surprisingly well preserved, but that comment comes from a New Englander where rust rules the road. |
| Ross: | OH! That's what those were. I hadn't seen them unwrapped after shipping. For all I knew Steve had found Jimmy Hoffa and Al Capone's accountant and had them shipped to his house. |
| Wes: | Sure looked like that didn't they? Fitting to have two dead bodies in the same garage with a dead Camaro huh? Anyway... I was calculating Steve's rate of progress and I came up with some interesting Data. If you use the expressed law of motivation derived from the University of Tallyville, and plug in Steve's weight, and age, multiplied by his attention span, and the inverse of his I.Q. he should complete his project sometime in late June 2023. |
| Ross: | Think so? Someone ought to tell him that it's already an antique and he doesn't have to wait that long. I was going to stay away from "the inverse of zero being zero." But, I guess I really didn't, did I? Was that a "Piss Off" that I heard? |
| Wes: | DOH! I think that definitely ranks a "Piss Off!" We'll have to see what Steve says. So it looks like so far this Peanut Gallery is the most useful part of this website, wouldn't you say? |
| Ross: | For some reason, the WB characters Mac 'n Tosh come to mind here. "Wouldn't you say?" "Oh, indubitably." But I digress... I have to agree. Especially since The Peanut Gallery is the only thing getting updated. His promised "Product Reviews" haven't even chronicled the dastardly Exploding Spring Compressor yet. What service. |
| Wes: | Ahhh Yes, the exploding Spring compressor. In case you are out there building your own cruiser we will offer fair warning... DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use the Harbor freight spring compressor tool on anything larger than a Chevette coil! Steve almost earned the nickname Lefty. Then again, I suppose when you are compressing the front spring of a car with a curb weight of 4600 lbs (not the Camaro), you probably shouldn't consider using a $15 dollar tool to begin with! |
| Ross: | True, but those Fords certainly are killers... Who else would design a car that tries to squeeze a two foot spring into a space the size of a loaf of bread? Whoops! Where'd that come from? |
| Wes: | Now would be a good time for a "PO". I tried to keep the Ford off the site, and you, a Chevy guy, drag it in anyway. You should feel ashamed. Let's try to keep focus here. Instead of picking on the almost completely intact Thunderbird let's focus on the wonderfully dismantled Chevy Camaro as it lays strewn across the garage floor in all its glory. Similar, I think, to a certain Chevy Nova right? |
| Ross: | Ahhh... Is that the dinner bell I hear? |
| Epilogue | That's it for this banter session. Stop by again and check out The Peanut Gallery in its next installment. |
