I’m pretty sure a guy in my neighborhood just got a new chevelle

Gotta remember, a lot of us farmers are car guys, too!Must be nice to live around car people. All that lives around me are tweekers and farmers.

Nothing real interesting or exciting here.
Mexican guy next door had a not so nice 71-72 F250 when I first moved in.... but he sold it a while back.
A farmer guy down the road has a project '78 F-250 crew cab 4x4 that he's pretty proud of along with an 80's S10 Blazer that he's been working on.
The tweekers have a couple of 80's early 90's Ford diesel pick ups they're tweeking on along with some 90's early 2000's pieces of sh** torn apart.
Maybe I should buy an old F250 so I can fit in..
Naturally I want to say, just pull up on the street in front of his house in your chevelle when his garage is up.
On the other hand, I had a guy follow me home a few months ago just to pull up behind me in the garage and tell me how cool my car was and I was on the defensive immediately. I was immediately pissed and read his body language to see if he was being sketchy and reading his eyes to see if he was looking into the garage to see what else I may have in there. After a few seconds I came to the conclusion that he was just into the car and wanted to chat.
This was when I was still in San Diego. So I guess it also depends on the local climate. If he pulled up in a chevelle, I’d probably be a little more relaxed about it. I was still pissed that he followed me.

That kinda reminds of a guy I used to know who was doing wheelies with his Jap bike in traffic, and this motorcycle gang on Harleys began chasing him all through the city. He did his best to get away from them, thinking that they were going to start trouble since they were all the long haired, heavily tattooed grubby looking type. They caught up with him due to the heavy traffic conditions, and when they did, they said to him: "Dude, that was a real cool wheelie you did!!! Can we see you do some more???"

I’m in Bonney Lake WA, 10 minutes from Puyallup.
Oh yeah. Unfortunately I moved a few years back or else I’d say we need to organize a cruise

I’m right off 176th in Spanaway! We need to cruise this year. Are you part of yesterdays chevelle club?
I knew the guy very well and saw him every day. We called him "mental Mike" because he was just plain crazy on wheels. It caught up with him though, because he ended up being killed in a bad car wreck in his Vette that he himself had caused. Anyway, I had seen him more than once with front tire pointing at the sky in heavy traffic situations even on side streets, as did other people see the same. The guy also ended up on the roof of some lady's car because he was doing a wheelie while riding behind her, and she had to make a stop.
Like I said, the guys on the Harleys caught up to him as a result of heavy traffic and he had to stop for a red light. as crazy as he was, he wasn't in the habit of blowing red lights that I knew of.

No I’m not part of yesterdays. I’ve done Sumner, Puyallup and Enumclaw cruises several times this summer as I just got my rough looking chevelle on the road last year. I also drove it to good guys and ran at the vintage drags. I’m ready to cruise this spring when you are or any other members in our area.

Pretty sure I saw your car in Puyallup this year. Wasn’t in my chevelle. Hopefully she’s ready this year.

Valentines Day is coming. Try sending flowers from "A secret admirer" Address it to the Chevelle.
Guaranteed to get the neighbour to peer out from behind the curtains and wonder what kind of neighbourhood this is...
On second thought it might look better if you just uncork your headers and blip the throttle as you drive by. I know if I hear a big rumble on the street I will flock to the window to see what it is. I've seen some nice musclecars, a neat vintage Triumph chopper, and whatever the mechanic down the street picks up to tinker with.

Alright everyone!!! So I just drove by on the way home from grabbing food tonight and his garage door was open! I stopped and he does have a 70 chevelle in there. Got to meet the guy and he was really nice. It was a little weird walking up but I told him my name and said I have a chevelle right up the street. His reply was, “the white 66!?” 😎 talked to him for a min and got his number. Tried not to talk his ear off but there ya go!!

New besties. Nice. Had a guy in my neighborhood buy a house I was trying to buy in a short sale in my neighborhood. He put bid on it right before me.
We both had 350z’s but never talked. We both ended up getting Mustangs around same time so stopped by finally to talk.
He’s a good friend now and we shoot the $h!t 3-4 times a week.
