Default It's ALIVE again!!

Finally! After 6 months and many set backs, today @ 3:15PM I fired Ol' LOVE up. It sounded real healthy for the couple of mins I ran it wathcing the oil pressure. Just had to blip it once or twice before turning the key off, but not too much. No coolant is in it yet. That's a complicated chore that will wait for tomorrow. I want to go to bed tonight with visions of 1/4 mile passes dancing in my head. Oh, yeah, guess I'll have to put the exhaust system back on tomorrow too. My poor next door neighbor never knew what hit him! Glenn

I hope the neighbor wasn't napping, or enjoying an afternoon delight with his girl.

He probably WAS sleeping. He's 87. That lets out his girl thing! Nice guy, that's why I turned it off right away. Good neighbor and all that stuff. Glenn

You can bet on it. I'll try to get someone to video it tomorrow when I start it again, before I put the exhaust back on. You guys should like that, right? Glenn

Glenn, did you notice my update on the "Whatever Happened" thread you started? That was quite the feeding frenzy there for a while wasn't it? Odd that there are not many comments (or apologes for basically calling me a thief) now that I have explained things. Pretty amazing stuff, eh?

BTW, Good job getting your car going.

You can count on it!!
The plans are to visit a LOT of various vette functions once it's sorted out. That's what it's all been for. Glenn

Glenn....You know....you should have fired that ***** up at the same time they sent the Shuttle up a few weeks ago.

No one would have noticed the SHUTTLE!

I have never cared for custom Vettes in general....the 1st time I saw a pic of yours, I was speechless. It is gorgeous! I use it for the wallpaper on my computer.....It's THE BOMB !

We need fresh video!
