First drive after 2 years!!!

Ok, started with a sheared axle (bad bearing went south very fast) and wound up rebuilding the entire rear end. I MADE myself stop at the rear of the drive shaft.

Went for a short drive earlier but the Qjet was acting up. Put on a carter I had on the shelf and went for the long drive.
Lots of thumbs up and waves; C6 waved and honked!!

I'm running the sidepipes with no muffler. One couple asked if I had a cam in it

Said, "yep, of course".

Now I remember why I love that car!

That would drive me nuts if I could not drive my car for 2 years

Glad to see that you got to go for a drive
