Default Nice weather for Driving

I hope that some of you have been taking advantage of the relatively nice weather we've had here in Seattle this week to drive your Vettes to work

Oh goodness I forgot about the idle rich.

Phil I hope that between counting all of those stacks you get a chance to take a break and take the aero lightweight out for a drive

the only "stacks" around here are for a R-R Merlin exhaust and I need to rebuild them since I don't have the bucks to buy new ones at $300 each and up.

As for taking the C6 Aero Lightweight (one of 42) out for a drive, I guess I've become a victim of my own philosophy and since it looks exactly like a standard base '07 Corvette I'm worried about being seen driving something that appears to be all I can afford.

I may take it out later tonight and drive to Walter's. Nobody lives out there save but a few homesteaders, trip-wire vets and some ne'r do wells and I've been watching old sketches from Monty Python and think I know how "Not to be Seen". Besides, despite the distance, I won't need to carry my passport.

Great idea.

Geezzz Mark, you're the only one I know brave enough to drive a plastic car in the rain.

Hey, let's get together for a drive Sunday. I'll be sober and Phil will have lost all his money at the casino by then.

Issaquah XXX Sunday around 9 or 10? I know Mark needs his beauty sleep....

Fairly certain they don't open until 11. XXX burger sounds good but NFL playoff games are this weekend.

Sorry, three weeks after my flu shot I came down with the flu day after Christmas. Fortunately that only lasted a week or so but still have a cold so just resting on the weekend.

Would love to join you, but I don't even have money for gas. I blame my wife; Snoqualmie Mary, #1 Financial Supporter of the Tribe.

What bunch of old women (no offense to any gal that can still stand me after the first meeting) (and Pat).

Now I have no excuse but to go pretend I'm helping my daughter move. Wouldn't be bad if I could just watch the kid....but have you ever tried to get in between two Grandmothers and a baby?!

Not personally, but I did watch that disgusting 8mm film you loaned me, so I have a pretty good idea... Oh, when do you want your projector back?

I just washed my car yesterday; I had to change the water it was so dirty. Even started rinsing my limited edition microfiber wash mitt (one of 42) before putting it back in the bucket.

I almost forgot that my car is yellow... At least the wheels are all shiny & polished again.

Go Seahawks!

Nope, but I suppose it has to do with what you man by "beat". I suppose you could dance to it, but you'd probably miss the good parts while trying to remember the steps to "The Stroll".

Oh, god, here come those moderators that kicked Walter off the forum a couple of years ago...

Walter started it, really.....
