AGM batteries have always been more than standard flooded PbA.

University of Kentucky was only $1200/semester when I went in the 80s, but believe me it didn't feel any more affordable then.
I've paid for my 2 daughters to go, so this boomer is paying for 3 college degrees in the end. not cheap.

I'm the last year of the "boomers" but still buying houses like everyone else is, and doing so now actually.
So most all of us are in this boat together.

Changed the side marker lights to the LED strip. Smoked them a bit to blend into the body. I can say I'm a fan.

Had to remove my wrap. It was starting to get weird stains on it so it had to go. I need to find something to put on it. Something different. It does t look as mean to me any more but that can be a good thing too

I know this is gonna' sound crazy but back in the old days we used to actually paint the hood. If you want something different, paint it instead of throwing vinyl on it like everyone else does.

These days few people are willing to commit in that fashion.

Yeah don't worry that has crossed my mind, the thing is I live in a small community and for two years I was the only "black hood" Camaro. Now there are two others. I really love how my car looks with it but I hate being the same as others. I just can't decide what I want to do.

Honestly IMO it looks good plain too. I put a carbon fiber hood on mine but didn't sell the oem hood because I liked the plain look also. Maybe one day I'll switch it back. Your car looks good without the black hood. Enjoy it.

Man, that sucks!! I know GM has had problems with parts recently due to the strike and now the pandemic, but them having your car for a month now just sitting on there lot just ain’t right. I’m sure the loaner they provided you with sucks too.

Im stuck with a base model Trax :( They don't want to give me the car back because my bumper to bumper ran out a week ago. I guess their afraid that GM will pull "its out of warranty so were not paying for it"
