What would you do instead of typing replies and posting threads in the forum, this very sunday afternoon?

i'd get on my vette and run around looking for challengers to beat...

IF IT WASN'T RAINING!!

I would like to work on my 'vette today, but it's back at my parents house and I'm here in my dorm room with nothing to do. I saw a '78 corvette for sale, I think I may go look at it just for something to do.

Panic - This morning I worked on my Vette, took it for a spirited drive, fixed Sarah's car, went grocery shopping, and am hunkering down to watch a movie with Sarah.

Later I'll do some Sunday chores, go for another drive, and meet some friends for a few drinks over dinner.

I plan on a lot more driving for the rest of the warm days this year before she gets put away.

Sitting around doing some planning for a trip to Basel, Switzerland in a couple weeks (going over on the 13th). Will be spending 11 days in the area and am trying to have a bit of a plan.....

Most of the websites are in German, and do not translate, so it's a bit of a chore......

I took the Vette out early this morning for a quick 10 mile drive with the radio off and listened to the side pipes roar a little , and then it was off to work.

I washed both trucks and started pressure washing the deck, the rains stopped that.
Usually don't work on the vettes on sunday, its mostly a "during the week" thing.

My son and I spent some time this afternoon working on ideas for the LS1 fuel pump and filters placement. I've also been painting the vacuum tank over the weekend so I can put it back on the body. It's been nasty hot and humid up in Mass. this weekend but this car will never get finished if I don't do something on it every weekend.

Hah ha, I am a noob in the broad scope of things. I'm also a cradle robber too. I'm 29 and my Fiancee is 22. This pic was taken a year ago though.
