Default Killin' time....

.......at Borders Books in Bethesda MD today and of course I went to the "transportation" books and looked at the Corvette books. I found a really nice (among many) hardbound coffee table book titled, The CORVETTE DYNASTY by Matt Delorenzo, $25.00. It contains six special pages of scaled down memorabilia relative to each series, such as a '67 sales brochure, all with in 159 pages. The cover shows a side view of a
'56 or '57 in red. The car is actually a raised texture along with the title. It also has a CD inside of various corvette exhaust sounds. It's not a good example of our favorite sounds, but it'll do. Dennis

Looks interesting. Think I'll get one from amazon.com ($18.95, no tax).

My wife surprised me with it two days ago.

Good Corvette wife. Still can't get her to wet sand like she did when we were in College when I was rebuilding a 68 conv we found in a field.

I got that one for Christmas - nice book, but should have been edited by someone who knows Corvettes better than Matt does - has lots of technical errors.

I got it for X-mas as well.

While we haven't had the chance to meet yet Dennis, I probably passed you as I had a lunch meeting across the street yesterday. Now if you were driving the Vette and parked it on Woodmont I would have come right over......Jovi
