I have a great way to make your car shake a little at idle. I have a 68 Camaro, and it works for me. First, I get my wife REALLY angry, it doesn't take much believe me. If you don't have a wife a neighbor will do. Then, I run out into the garage, fire up the Camaro, and lock the doors. When my wife chases me out, she starts slamming into the side of the car, and the harder I laugh the better the rocking becomes. Works every time-- Terry

Another idea is to disconnect a couple spark plug wires. Then rev the motor up, the hood will start shaking like mad, and you'll get the desired effect.

(just kidding, don't try this at home).

Easy. Get your girlfriend, park somewhere, and, oh sorry. You're screwed. It will never shake...

Install a .500 lift cam in it......

Hmm, this might be a problem, if you can't get the car to shake at idle w/ the girlfriend, it will never shake if you marry her! Sorry 'bout that I couldn't resist-- Terry

True, however, the original poster obviously has no car or girlfriend...

Definitely a problem there...

Believe me, I speak from marital experience...after being married long enough, not only will you not have the rocking motion, but you won't even get 'er to turn over!

PS Maybe there should be a newsgroup for married men who still try to maintain muscle cars in the garage, like me... my wife just doesn't get the whole Camaro thing....have you ever seen a woman try to shift a muncie

4 speed when she DOESN'T WANT to be able to drive it? Not a pretty sight.... or sound.

Lol. You're lucky. My wife wants to drag race me and win.

Mmm...I think a peugot might actually be worse.

So....you're wife is just like a car.zq

No matter how much you need it, on a cold morning, she just won't turn over.

True, but the lasting image of a large woman chasing some poor guy out of the house and into his car, then the same large woman running into the car over and over like a pissed rhinocerous on PCP was much more funny than the Peugot image...

I hope you understand...

Boy, do you ever have that s#$t right....she calls it my "mid-life crisis" car.

I call it a garage queen, as > PS Maybe there should be a newsgroup for married men who still try to

Hi, you're pretty close, actually my wife is pretty small, more like a bulldog or pit bull chasing me to my only refuge (inside the Camaro).-- Terry
