Thats a good story I like it.

I had the opposite problem...Only if my ex-wife's car was in the driveway did they stop!!!


Can't go wrong w/ a five spoke wheel on a vette- especially like the deep dish old school look!!!

Post a picture if you have one of the gills flipped. I don't think I've ever seen that and have been searching the web for a pic.

There were a bunch of pics in a previous thread.... but it looks as though they were removed. Here`s a couple from the web, not as good, but you get the idea.....
