Wow, I haven't been on for a week and there's only 12 new posts... Sad period we're in.

8/24/2016 - The sun was intense

I was mixed on the show last year and inevitably decided that it wasn't worth going to this year. Pros: Met Steve Saleen Met and took a photo with Vaughn Gittin Jr. Chip Foose was there, but the line in the heat wasn't worth standing in. Tons of cars Jet car was cool. Cons...

If the weather holds up, here's a show in the capital district: Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1142825609084621/

Looks to be a good event, too bad I'll be at the Glen for the Cheeze-It 355 all weekend.

As far as muscle car sounds go, I have the RTR Street Axlebacks. Deep low RPM growl but tapers off at 3500 rpm and up. The Competition Axlebacks are supposed to be louder. They aren't cheap though. If you're lucky, you may be able to squeeze 5-10 hp out of an axleback. The roush exhaust you...

I can only speak for the 2010-2014 gen from experience, but I think his views are a little skewed... Technically, the Mustang GT (5.0L V8 420hp/390tq) competes with the Challenger RT (5.7L V8 375hp/410tq). The 15+ plus generation makes it a little harder to match them up since the Challenger...

Event website here Curtis Lumber Car Show Hundreds of cars, get there earlier than later! Wide open parking lot, no shade, make sure to bring sunscreen! Unique trophies!

Anyone have some good suggestions on what to see during our downtime? Obviously the falls... but what else?

Emails made it out, main event seems to be Saturday. Anyone else been to a MCA event? Do we really have to stay till 5 even if we're not judged?

So I vaguely mapped out the Southern Adirondack loop with my phone and it appears to be about 210 miles and about 5 hours to complete it (not including stops). There is most likely points of interest along the way but I couldn't deep dive on what was along the route. It would be safe to say this...

There's plenty of routes on the site, the one most local to the capital district is the Southern Adirondack loop. For us, a good starting point could be Lake George. I'll have to take a look over the weekend to see the points of interest they have mapped out and get a good estimate of mileage.

:bump:

As far as discounts go, decide on the sound you're looking for and then search out deals. There is an AmericanMuscle club discount, I believe is 5%. Sometimes items aren't eligible, but I believe most of the exhausts are. You enter the code mentioned in this thread...

Show is still on as scheduled per the website. I'll be there!

The paint on the fuel door has seemed to fade and turned grey. So I picked up some low gloss engine paint thinking it'll be a little more durable and resprayed it. Since there are letters on the door, I thought it'd be nice to highlight them. I'm satisfied with the outcome using touchup paint...
