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.

Moved ours out of the shop to the garage, to make room for a new friends C5 in the shop so we could work on it... had a blast working on his car... great kid! Don't know why a 24 year old would even remotely want to hang out and work on his C5 with a 60 year old grumpy, cranky, ole fart... but it sure was nice...this kid restores hope for the next generation, works hard, polite, respectful, quick to learn, appreciative... just a class act! 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 drove mine to a family "one year old" Birthday party, stayed overnight to fix some house issues(toilet running, sink clog) drove home last night in the rain, some punk in a late model Mustang wanted to have a go at me(in the rain ????)I declined, got home and cleaned it ??? How exciting ?????

I've been on the fence about powder coating my Y2K wheels so I plasti dipped them this weekend just to try out the new look. They look much better in person.

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.
