Yes, that's my 8-year old. We've been taking her to car shows and swap meets since she was in diapers. She thinks it's pretty boring now. She still likes riding around in the cars though.

Thanks guys.
The Mach was a nice car. I put a lot of work into it over the years, but it still needs a few minor things. I will miss it though.


When all was said and done, I figure I have about $25k into the Corvette. I know values are down currently, so I'm not sure if I did well or not. It was a solid (not perfect) LT1 convertible that fell into my lap though. Not having to travel, ship a car, etc. is worth something.

Yeah Man, you really got a nice ride, in spite of letting the Mach 1 go to run in a different pasture.

LT-1 was a rockin' option. I couldn't wait for a real one so I made a wanna-be clone...kinda. Or was it a ZR-1 I was thinkin'...? Nevermind.

Congrats!
