Classic, always an experience...

We all know that the old muscle cars are a hot item for any car finatic. There are so many old classic cars to think about, but specifically I like to think about the 1969 Cheverolet Camaro. As I stated in one of my previous posts, "Oldies but Goodies", my dad bought a 1969 Cheverolet Camaro RS/SS at the Auburn Auction and it needed a lot of work.

I was driving this car to get it to the shop so we could fix all the little things. Of course, it's a huge project to restore the classic cars to their best state like they used to be when they first came out. Most classic cars are 40 or more years old. There are plenty of things wrong with the Camaro but they are all little things. For example, there are some knobs missing, making it impossible to turn the air on or off. The new thing i found wrong with the car was that the windshield wipers don't work.

As it started to rain on my way to the shop so we could drop off the car, I found that the windshield wipers weren't working. With all the water drops falling and then looking like little water skiiers gliding up my windshield, it was a very wonderful time to figure out this inconvenience. I'm not going to continue to bitch, I just wanted to tell of the experience of finding out new things that aren't always to a benefit. Luckily, I had the top up so I wasn't getting rained on directly. Only a little rain spraying in at the top of the windows where they should be closed securely, they don't really go up all the way. It was quite a cold ride since it's the middle of October and the rain was coming it every once in a while. Also, the air vents were blowing in cold air directly from outside. It was all quite humorous for me, it really isn't that big of a deal because I have fallen in love with the car and the way it rides, sounds, and looks.

This shop is a friend of ours and he has restored some classic cars such as a '60 Corvette and another '69 Camaro. I would have taken a few pictures but I forgot my camera so I will have to show you what these cars look like by other people's pictures.
