Don't laugh at my "grocery getter" - she's quick!



I'm allowed to drive a non Corvette because I'm instructing...and have a lot of in-Corvette driving experience. Some of you old timers may remember my previous track cars:




It'll be great to see everyone again. I'm looking forward to a fun event - but Tom, can you do us a favor and arrange for it to be air conditioned?

See you next week!

I have a old window air conditioner down in the basement that I could bring. It might fit in the back window of the Bimmer.

a) That sounds pretty good as long as it doesn't weigh much
b) I'm glad you spelled "Bimmer" correctly
