So I had a real crummy day and was just pretty depressed. Came home from work and the family wasn't home. So I had a little time to kill before everyone came home. I said let me go in the garage and make sure I hooked up the charger to the vette after the last time I took it out ( knowing I did). Got in the garage and looked at the vette saw no cars blocking the garage so I went for a real quick spin. Couldn't have been more than 5 minutes. I feel much better now. Wow, these cars have magical powers. Just thought I would share.

I can go into the garage and just do a quick detail shine and get the same feeling. Just knowing that they are there, and all the work that I did to get them in this shape is therapeutic to me also. but going for a quick drive with the tops off... thats great.
