As for checking the temp of various SHIT on your car, go to harbor freight and pick up one of these: > **[Harbor Freight Tools – Quality Tools at Discount Prices Since 1977](https://www.harborfreight.com/non-contact-pocket-thermometer-93983.html)** > > Harbor Freight buys their top quality tools from the same factories that supply our competitors. We cut out the middleman and pass the savings to you! I used one for checking the heat sink temp on nitro r/c engines, works great on full scale cars too. > [@\*\*\*\*Official: Southgate Meet Thread\*\*\*\*](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-southgate-meet-thread/29171/3277): > > The truck is actually pretty clean underneath. > > I thought you traded in the SS on the Camaro.

Nope, had a black on black 2010 SS with 6 speed and hurst shifter. I kept the Cobalt because it isn’t worth anything and makes a good winter beater. The Camaro was too heavy for the LS3, but I especially didn’t like the 2010 interior (shitty seats, gay steering wheel, no HUD, gay radio). It also got 16 mpg around town - I drove it hard, but if I’m going to drive something that gets 16mpg it’s gonna be a Tahoe. Sold it to some habib from KY. :rofl --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/overheating-brakes/267224)._
