I feel inclined to make a Photoshop of your GTO with black wheels, mainly for my benefit to see how rad it will look, but I'll post it here. Hopefully tonight after work.

The whole murdered out GTO thing is played out. Just about every modded black GTO has black wheels, and light tint. Be different!
or do this

I'm not liking the satin/flat finish on that goat.

Being different and doing something the way someone else did it? Oximoron. Most evey automotive mod has been ultimately "played out". I want it o look different to myself moreso than anyone else.

Well, here it is. It's a rough and crude representation of how it might look with satin-black wheels and tinted lights.

I'd hit it.

I think I'd hit it too; twice on Sunday.

They're all pink on the inside.

Wait, what were we talking about?

So Tony, what ended up being the root cause of the issues you were having at the meet? I don't remember that you ever posted about that...

Wasn't it something with the LSD?

Tony got some bad acid and had a bogus trip? Bummer!

My suspicions were correct. After a while the royal purple synthetic LSD fluid I had in there started to cause the popping of the LSD. This is a cone type unit rather than a clutchpack type so the cones were gripping too much at low speed and releasing, causing the pop.

I'm currently running GM spec fluids, however on a very rare occasion it will pegleg. I am told Torco fluid with the GM spec friction modifier will solve that. Frankly, it only peglegged once on me and that was right after the fluid change. Since then I've been able to step the rear end out on any occasion with good grip from the LSD.

Talk like a pirate day is over - no peglegging allowed now.

I miss Michelle. I'm itching for warm weather, dry roads and a nice cruise in the goat.
