That is so freaking cool they still do that at the Pavillions! I used to work at the Target there as a kid and remember many many evenings of hanging out drooling over the cars on saturday nights there back in the 95-97 timeframe. Awesome.

Worked in the garage today....just looked at it. Hoping for a dry morning for a breakfast run. Little airport close by with a cafe. Train tracks parallel the runway. Good way to get my planes, trains and automobiles. Even the occasional motorcycle

Washed off the dirt and grime accumulated from driving to work all week. Saturday I managed two coats of wax and wiped down the engine compartment. Now, it's ready for another work week.

We did the Modified Ranger Method to try and start getting his clutch fluid cleaned up.... Pulled his shifter out which he didn't know was a B&M aftermarket... it was FILTHY....took it completely apart, cleaned, greased and reassembled, his bushings were shot, so we used my stock box, till we get some poly bushings for his box. all the bolts in the top half were very loose...Vented his flywheel dust cover... removed rear Cross flags emblem... tinted reflectors in the door panels... and a few other little odds and ends..
I think that car guys come in all shapes and sizes, I think it's great you could spend some time with a young-un !!!!!!

Drove my dusty and beat up beloved black beast '99 over to meet a fellow forum member. He lives 2 mi from my house.

He just scored his first 'vette. 2000 (I think) Nassau Blue a4 coupe. 38K orig one owner all records..just a pristine car loaded with all the toys. Great guy he dropped by my Gig on Sun.

Woke up Saturday morning to a garage door with a broken spring. Could only lift up door high enough to get C5 out. Have to wait until tomorrow, Tues, for it to be serviced as it's the holiday and all the door shops are closed. Drove C5 all weekend

Packed up the road bike, dropped in the back of the Vette, and went to a short ride today. 28 miles at 16 on hills. Nice to get back to the Vette when it's over.
Saturday did a longer, 44 mile ride at 16MPH. Got to work on getting that speed up to 18MPH so I can ride with the B groups again.
