Default What's Your C3 Doing For Thanksgiving?

Mine is waiting quietly in the garage; getting ready for a tankful of BP Premium! Then it's off to pick up Nova for a fall drive followed by a dinner that dreams are made of. I love Thanksgiving; my favorite holiday!

I guess mine will set in the garage all day. We are heading out to family's house to eat around 2. I may get it out a little before we go. But for now it is setting in the garage. The cardboard is from the attic stairs I just had to replace, it also is going to make a nice leak catcher for a while.
This picture was taken at 9:30am Thanksgiving morning.

Eddie that's not fair. You cleaned out your garage.

Me? I'm cooking' TG dinner. Getting ready to make the stuffing from scratch. My Vette is in the garage, untouched in the last 2 months.

No, I just stepped to the other side so you could not see the mess. My garage is piles of shiz that needs to be thrown away.

I'm going to take mine for a cruise this afternoon with my 5 yr old son, I'm sure a few trips to the store for forgotten cooking supplies (I'll take the long way)

Pics, please...

I was trying to finish my car last night so I could drive to G/F's for dinner today...her brother is a Mustang-guy. Thought I might rub his nose in it a little...oh, well. Christmas, perhaps.

They're impossible. You have the polished edges and the painted centers. Either the aluminum polish gets on the paint or the cleaner for the paint screws up the aluminum...I feel like Prometheus!

I'm planning on driving my car to Christmas dinner in Tequesta. If you don't have yours finished by then, I'll stop by...rather do that than listen to G/F's mother lecture me about Jesus.
