I've probably enjoyed wrenching on mine more than driving them. Just some satisfaction in repairing something and learning new things.

Like riding a motorcycle. Think of this as 'the ride' vs the destination.

It will help keep you off the streets and out of trouble lol

Got a shipment of random parts they found around the shop they “think” might be mine.

What is this part? Seems like it might be important or they would not have mailed it.

I don't think it's a chunk of yours with that funky number on it.

GM stuff is press molded (smooth on all sides).
