Air bags are slowly putting Darwin out of business. ?
After a decade of being a cop in the general Los Angeles area, I can attest Darwin and Murphy are doing very well.

Easy there big boy! We need to have a conversation.
There's so many things I see potentially wrong with that car that it could get very expensive real quick!
The steering wheel is the first obvious clue of what could lie beneath that shiny paint job. If the primary point of contact right in front of you has multiple cracks in it..... what's being hidden?
I've seen so many muscle car buyers be led to the gallows by a shiny paint job that covered up some seriously artistic bondo work that concealed fender, door, quarter panel, cowl, and floor pan cancer that was only repairable by panel replacement. To the point that the structural integrity of the body was seriously compromised.
Just for an extreme price example of a decent paint job, here's Mark Stielow's Hellfire Camaro being pounded while cashing Mike Maier's Mustang on the race track at Vegas after being in the Optima Booth at SEMA in 2014, just the cost of the PPG paint materials alone for this paint job were $6,500 in 2013.
There's some really good buys on very good cars out there, but they're 1 in 10ish. There are so many crooks it's demoralizing, Barrett Jackson and Mecam's auctions created the shiny paint for profit over a rust bucket game IMO.
I'm not trying to shoot you down, just save you from taking a bullet in the back. I've been a mod on a Pro Touring forum for 8 years and have seen way too many members be seriously screwed once their cars were closely inspected.
Nice mid-80’s WY truck plate on the lid.View attachment 7054702Out on date night with Jamie. I don’t drink beer anymore but this is pretty funny ?
I don’t want original. I want a modern 8.1 with a carb. And a lumpy cam.... I mean, just listen to a Raylar 8.1.
I just messed my pants.... I’ll be right back.
Keep what you want old for style and add some modern big block for hp and TORQUE!!!
I'm in the middle of swapping an 8.1l vortec into a 76 K5 Blazer. No cam or heads i just really want no carb bullshit and easy low end torque for mountain hunting trails. Should still get about 400 hp and 450 ft lbs with just a tune.
I think the 350 that was in it before was making 250 hp and 45 ft lbs. It was a dog with the big tires.
I love a cam, here's my 2010 SS right at 500hp / 462 at the rear wheels NA.
it is indeed my friend....Partagas Black label....Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar......
Is that a cigar?
Have a few of those shirts myself, my son retired out of the 160th almost a year to the day (06 April) looks great on him!View attachment 7054939Our buddy Pat is retired army and a huge patriot. He also likes buying shirts! Got cash a line nine shirt that had his old unit on it. Cash is pretty proud to rock it?

little strong for my taste, but damn was it a good cigar.
That would be a better setup for mud where you need to keep some wheel speed. They make good power but not in the right place for me. A stock 8.1 makes about 300 ft lbs at idle soo....The GEN III/IV GM Vortec engines are ridiculously awesome to make solid power! With a 5.7, good tune, heads and a mild cam, you're talking 425+ to the wheels no problem.
I'm jealous you have a K5. I would love one with the 6.0L LQ9 engine that came in the 2004-2006 1500HD and GMC Denali lines. Very solid engine with excellent potential to go wild.
I love a cam, here's my 2010 SS right at 500hp / 462 at the rear wheels NA.
Terrible news @Tucker301. As always let us know what we can do and we'll get it done. Obviously best wishes to him and the family during this crisis. Thank God he's still with us all. Please keep us posted!

Prayers sent. And will keep sending.
If there is good news (there is, sometimes hard to see) it is these are common injuries with a lot of experience treating them in a trauma center. Lots of good info on best practice and predictions of how he will do.
Gonna hurt for a while.
@Geno C. I agree. My experiences in work for the last 20 yrs has kept me off em. Mostly due to other drivers. Some from the unpredictability.
Plus now I am just a giant pussy....... ?
Nice. Don't recognize the year though. 95 ZR1 here, had it for 20 years now. Old but it still is enough for me. 35K on miles and still good for 155 mph on a smooth road.Nice Camaro, here's a buddy's Vet and he has spent a small fortune on it. Flared carbon fiber fenders, supercharged, the only original body panel is the top. I can't even begin to remember all he's do to it and it's stupid fast.
Thanks all. For now it's just thoughts and prayers. We'll give it some time to settle and see where they stand. I'll probably slip her some walking around money the next few days. I don't know how long she will stay there with him before she gets home for a night, but knowing her the way I think I do, it's going to be a while. She does have the children being well taken care of by family for now, and they have a solid network for support from family and friends.
My family and I will be keeping them in prayer. Definitely seems like a "Good Guys With Guns" opportunity when the time is right. As a fellow Virginian, I have a lot of respect for VA State Troopers, and they have shown me mercy on the highway on more than one occasion when I was younger and more leaden of foot.Thanks all.

Please keep us posted in this thread. I'm sure there is lots of help out there but just speaking for myself, I stay out of The Bear Pit for the most part, I'm angry enough as it is.Thanks all.

Matthew has requested that I take pictures and names of all departments that are coming for his presentation that he’s giving in 5 minutes. On the motor vehicle code....he made a PowerPoint for it. They’re waiting on him so he needs to go now....?
And the pain meds have finally kicked in.
Night night.
This is also probably happening because he was making me practice motor vehicle code with him earlier today. He has to be quizzed every time he wakes up to exercise his brain. He got tired of me asking “what’s today? When is JD/Leah’s birthdays?” And told me to start asking him code numbers for offenses. ???
