Default New Member from Iowa

New member from frozen Iowa. I have had several Chevy's over the years. Started out getting out of the Navy in 1972. I ordered a 72 Nova SS. Wasn't sure they could get one, since it was late in the year. Anyway I got it. Sold it 3 years later. Had many more Chevy's, Too many to name. Lately, I had a 1996 Suburban. Ran like a champ. 255000 miles on it. Just died last week. Bad Fuel pump. Cost to repair is more than it's worth. My wife was diving it. So yesterday went out a bought a 2015 Chevy Cruze 2LT. 46000 miles. Good thing it's for my wife because I can't fit in the damn thing. She loves it though. That's all that matters.
Anyway. Just a list of Chevy's I've owned over the years: 72 Nova SS..Chevette, Can't remember the year. Vega. 88 Corvette, 1996 Camaro Z/28. 69 Camaro RS, Several Chevy pick ups. 7 or so. 2005 Chevy Colorado.
Navy Veteran. Retired Firefighter. NRA Certified Pistol Instructor. also Loves motorcycles. Good to be here. Jerry

72' Nova SS

Ya me too. A few years ago, I got ahold of the guy I sold it to. He said he was sitting at a red light when someone plowed into the rear of the car. Totaled it out. I think I almost cried when he told me that. It was a 4-speed, bucket seats, 350 with no air pump. Every one I've seen, had an air pump installed. It was late in the season. Color was Mulsane Blue. I put Crager SS mags on it. Still have the plate stamp for it.
