Have you had any time to drive it ?


Jim S. :w
 
Plenty of time. I work on it in bits and pieces of time. I LOVE owning a Vette. It is about TIME I had one! I have waited all my life, since I was 8 years old when my grandmother had one. Since then I have been a real Vettehead and there is NO other car for me! I would trade in a Lambo for as many Vettes as I could get. All other cars to me are just a means to get from point A to B. You could call me obsessed. I have models, calendars, books, clocks, mugs, mouse pads, fobs, hats, photos, shirts, and a zillion other things Vette related.

Yeah, its in my blood.
:D
 
If its a C5 I want it for Christmas!!
;)
Hey, Paul! Be careful! When I had my C4 I spent all of my spare time (and money) working on it; replacing things, upgrading stuff, adding goodies! Then I sold it! Now I go out to the garage and look at my C5 and think "what can I DO?" Nothing's broken, the interior's great, the paint is almost perfect, engine runs like a....ape! Then it comes to me; Oh, Yeah! Go for a drive! :lou :cool :w

Well, that's ME to a T! I drive it a lot but since I can't work aircraft anymore, and I love turning wrenches, and I no longer work, I NEED to turn wrenches! It is my hobby, my "fix", it's like a drug and I'm SURE a lot of ya'll know what I mean!
