Nothing too special... of course the first pic of the camaro is at Road Atlanta, and the second is at Watkins Glen Click on the pics for the real deal. Just bought the bike in October... it has just 2k on the odometer!!!

Yeah I love my Cherokee... Ive been itching for one since this style came out in 97... I bought this one for 9k in 2003 with 36k on the odo... now she has 75k on it and looks as new as the day i bought it. NEVER a mechanical failure, just lots of routine maintenance as all Jeeps require.

I sold my Wrangler (albeit I want another) but the Cherokee is here to stay permanently.

Oh, and they are dirt cheap now... ive seen 50k mile 2001's going for 5500 bucks !

Nice collection,I love the camaro especially.

yeah i was in the market for a wrangler, but was not excited about having no room at all. so i figured a cherokee is still a jeep, plus i can still get it with a 5spd(although hard to find). i agree though, has to be the newer style

I still have a pair of shoes stained red from Road Atlanta. Awesome track. You should come out with us this season.

My biggest issue with far away tracks is the lack of transportation for my car. Last time I was at the glen I burned up the set of brakes for the track (rotors and pads), my backup set, and then seized a caliper after the last run session. I am in the process of trying to set aside some dough so I can upgrade the brakes... the C5 corvette setup is an inch larger and directionally vaned without increasing my cost of replacements so I think thats the way I am gonna go. You wouldnt have wanted to see how bad the rotors were... the car needs to be on a diet

I am in the process of upgrading the cherokee for towing duty but Atlanta might be far for it... its only rated to tow 5k so I was thinking more like Mont Treblant, Pocono, NIH, Limerock, or the Glen...

I looked for a 5 spd for about 4 months before settling on the auto I have... it was a deal I couldnt pass up on a specially ordered lease return factory freak... Has the NP 242 case and full size spare (a 1g option back in the day) and electronics packages, but no cruise, tint, a tape deck, and at the time the steelies. Since then its gotten the alloys off a 04 wrangler (and 30" ATs with a 2" lift), cruise out of a junked XJ, driving lights from summit, painted bumpers and trim (a practice project for when I paint the Z/28) and some clarion tunes. Now its becoming my tow rig as indicated above.

FWIW, the Unlimited body style of the wrangler has a good amount of room, maybe as much as my cherokee with either rear seat folded.

And here are the previous rides... you can see why Mike called me Mustang

I hear ya, RA is too far to drive. I dont even go to VIR unless the car has a ride to and from. I should be able to make it to all those you mentioned at least once.
Early dates up here (north) so far are:
3/24-LRP-PDA
4/13-Pocono North-BMWCCA NY Chap
5/6-LRP-BMWCCA Patroon Chap (Local Albany area guys)

Dale, another local Camaro owner, should be coming as well. We'd love to see you there!

Nice rides. Seeing that bike makes me want one even more. I finally have the S40 sold, so once we get caught up on bills I think im gonna take the MSF course for starters.

Oh yea, and I miss my camaro too.
