That is why I love living in sunny California, the toys are enjoyed year round, as long as flying debris doesn't damage your passenger side. Sorry, had to vent a little.

Turn it on, rev it up and enjoy the sounds, even if you can't drive it yet.

Sorry to hear that, Steve. Amazing how careless some people can be. You'd think that someone attending a car meet would show a little care and respect for the other participants. Can it be touched up?

I took advantage of dry roads yesterday, they were calling for snow all day but I managed to put about 100 miles on mine or I should say my 4 year olds Corvette lol. It was to cold to put the top down but I got to try out and adjust the new HEI dist. and all I can say is wow I can't wait till spring.... When I put the car away it started snowing and 2 inches fell over night here in NE Ohio.

Took my 71 out for a nice little run yesterday. It was sunny and dry. Streets were pretty much salt free too! Car ran nice and when I put it back in the garage I had one of those Vette smiles on!!

1/4 inch of snow and they want to load up the roads w/ salt. Guess that is southern living. I'll have to wait for another inch or so of rain to clear out the roads. Maybe next weekend.
