Another Vette in the stable
Seems that Corvette ownership is an addictive lifestyle.
First was the 1993 Corvette that my father, daughters, and I worked on last year, and now my father has picked up a 1981 from a family friend's barn. He's got the engine fired up after close to 10 years of sitting and will be surprising my daughters with it Monday for their next wrenching project together. Lord help me, this one is to sit in my garage when it's running. I'll post a pic later.

That's just cool. Big nosed 80-82's are the sexiest. Can't wait to hear the story behind this one.
