I had a serious motorcycle accident in August 1977, and it ended up getting sold off piece by piece over the months I was laid up. Damn shame... that thing was sick.
I was really digging that scoop. What did it have under the hood?

p.s. I just thought of something. When I was 18, my dad thought I was crazy for "souping" up my car. But, after a couple months, he ended up going to the track and enjoying it. Here is a pic from 1977... I'm in the driver's seat, and he's the guy with the beard behind the car.

My Dad was the same way about my motorcycle.
Loads of grief about how I was going to wreck my bike and break my neck and use up all my insurance and become a leech on society's back.
Then two years later, he and my Mom drove up to my house on Harleys.
I gave him the speech. "You're going to break your necks and use up all your insurance....."
Jeezus... what's with your dad? Isn't this the same guy who thought putting a CDC Classic chin spoiler on was "too hard"? It doesn't get much easier than a CAI/Tune and a Classic chin spoiler. Why do I have a feeling this guy wouldn't even consider a DIY oil change. And a flat tire would require a tow truck... hahaha. Tell him to do some reading on the forums... the rest of us "old" guys will have to educate him some.

To tell you the truth my dad is very into cars. I think he might know how to do some of the stuff but says he doesnt know so maybe ill change my mind on it. My dad has alot of cars like his 82 camaro with only 3k miles which he loves and has never been in the rain. He has two really old impalas and cleans and fixes them up all the time. But about the chin spoiler...i dont really think he knew what i was talking about when i said it. He hasnt seen pictures or anything of it.

Well im only 17 and he doesnt want me to spend all my money on the car. Im doing two jobs and so far this summer all the money i have made has gone to the car except for the 200 i have from the last paycheck. I allways listen to my dad, even though i sometimes dont like his reasoning at the time. I didnt mean to put it out like my dad was like that. I know he just wants the best for me.

That's right my friend. You don't want to spend ALL your money on the car. Sock some away. All those goodies-to-buy will still be there later.
I installed the CAI and oped the package to the SCT. It says STOP and plug into a computer to update the latest version. It then installs to my computer and nothing happens. I thought I could install the CAI and just plug the SCT int my car and it would work. Can I do that or can someone provide step by step advice on what I'm doing wrong?
