RE: [Chevelle-list] New to the El Camino world ( tell it like it is)

I try to stay out of things like this, but copocloner did come off sounding a bit harsh.  The original poster was just trying to get a recommendation for a local mechanic to fix some carb issues.  Sorry, I don’t know any Florida mechanics.   Frankly, I’d love to find a good 78-87 Elky for a daily driver.  If there’s a rust-free one around for $800, I’d buy it.  I miss the ease of hauling things I had with my ’72.  V8 power, it ain’t 5000+ lbs like a full-size pickup, and it’ll fit in my 20-foot deep garage.  Perfect for urban rednecks like me.  :-)   -Dave   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clint Hooper Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2005 11:36 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] New to the El Camino world ( tell it like it is)   Better put on your flame suit,dude. I think you're going to need it. The truth hurts,I agree,but you come off as an insensitive jerk. No offense,of course.
