Careful... he BITES

Went out and dinked around on the Camaro a bit ago. He BIT me! Peeled a nice little piece of finger off, too. But got a little adjusting in on the front end, though I think there may be a tad too much toe out on the driver's side. I wanted to make everything nice and snug, because I'm taking him out further than before on Wednesday if the weather permits. Thing about cars like Meanie is that he does NOT like wet roads. He is extremely squirrely and will spin out. Made in 1969 there is NO traction control beyond my right foot! Hell, he'll flip on you if you go around a corner and give it to much gas. In the long run there's some work I'll be doing on the back end that will give the traction more bite.
Time for some softer rubber! This spring, I just need to do what I can to figure out the biggest 17 inch rim I can stuff in the back. It's not as easy as it sounds. I have to figure out the backspacing and such, clearing the suspension, not ripping the tires with the sidewalls and all that jazz.

My car is the same way. No one who has ever done any type of work on my car has come away unscathed except for me. They can be such ornery things sometimes.
