Just when I'm thinking about selling the Vette .....
I take it for a nice drive on a crisp clear morning, and that thought quickly goes by the wayside. 
I've been looking for a '55 Chevy semi-seriously and hadn't driven the Vette too much between the heat and rain we've been having. Things cooled off and I drove it around this morning. The L-46 just loped along at idle, and screamed above 3000 rpm. The 4 speed has been freshly rebuilt, the clutch is new, all new suspension front and rear. Why would I sell it???
Now I gotta convince the wife that a nice '55 would be a great car for her to cruise in on nice days like today.

Just add another couple bays on that garage and you're all set.
