Glen Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Ran both cars to my parents house to change the oil because the Old Man (meant with the utmost respect) has every tool under the sun. Not to mention oil and filters for every car in the entire family which he keeps stocked. And like every time I’m there for something he insists on crawling under the car to get his hands dirty. No doubt he misses working on cars regularly. Not to mention it gets him out of the house and away from Mom 🤣. He’s gonna be 84 in July. Check out the ride he just bought himself a few months ago… he’s awesome (even though he didn’t order the Hemi 🤣). Quote: “306 HP is more than enough. Don’t think so? I’ll run and beat BOTH your Monte Carlos”! I know better than to argue… 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jft69z Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 That's awesome! But then again, who lets their 84 year old dad crawl across the floor? (I know, he'd do it no matter how hard you try). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly… He won’t take no for an answer… Hell, he wouldn’t even use his creeper. That’s why he’ll be getting invited for prime rib the next time we go to my favorite supper club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 And if you wanna get technical, Joe? Dad kinda slid and rolled. Totally different than crawling 🤣😂 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 That’s awesome Glen. He may also be a great addition to the Carlisle mini meet. I’m sure we can get a plus one in. Besides it would give Rob someone to reminisce with. Lol. Sorry Rob had to. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know better than to argue… Ok, gotta ask.......I was told (by a friend who recently bought a new HellCat) those yellow pieces are for trailering/delivering to the dealer, supposed to be removed at the dealer. Ive seen a bunch on the road with them still installed????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I did on my CTS-V. The bottom lip was a separate gray piece, I turned them black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are supposed to be removed by the dealer during the PDIs. They actually do more damage if left on. Dirt and debris gets behind them and scratches the snot out of the paint. My son purchased a 2018 SRT Super bee charger that had them on it. That's how we know first hand what paint damage they do. He now has a 2019 HellCat supercharged charger without them also. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
