Wish i could drive it let alone to work, whole interiors apart, waiting on my heater core to arrive, and then have to put it all back together, along with new brakes and tires and glue the carpet down..... Then finish on the inside.....

... maybe ill just work on it and call that a drive.

Good luck with the project. Looks like fun!

I wish I could, but the engine is knocking from what sounds like a spun rod bearing. I'm afraid it'll sieze if I drive it.

So, until the engine's rebuilt, no driving.

As I've been veturing out a little further each time I drive mine,this may be the perfect oppurtunity for a 30 mile each way ride.If it doesn't rain.....Baby steps..lol

I won't be able to drive mine to work Friday because I'm not going to work. I will be on vacation. I'm driving my 78 vette to Providence, RI. in the morning for a couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to the 5th gear with the cruise control set at 80 mph

Then some of this....
<jeopardy music> lets see, 2006 is the year, minus 53 years... equals 1953. 1953!!!! that's the year the Vette came out!!!!!!!!</jeopardy music> Looks like you were destined to own a vette!!

Other AT&T(previously SBC) folks are going to be vetting to work on Friday. We usually take a bunch of pictures and then create a AT&T employee Corvette calendar - I'll post a couple of pics after Friday.

I know this may sound negative, but I thought SBC/AT&T was kinda on a downward spiral and ended up moving their corp offices out of St. Louis...

I know they're going to be downsizing again soon, as my mom, who works as a service rep here in California, said that they're going to offer early retirement again.

At any rate, I'd like to see some of those Vette pics that you guys take!
