Haha it's ok, I figured that.

I saw a while back that you had got in a wreck in yours. Have you got it fixed and back on the road yet?

Yeah, hopefully for not too much longer. Someone I know needed cash and sold it to me for cheap (or at least what I thought was cheap) and told me to flip it to make a profit, and it ended up needing a lot of work. I'm most likely gonna take a loss on that one, but I guess that's what I get for not researching those things enough before buying it. On the bright side, I learned a lot about LT1s, so if I ever wanted a late C4, I would know how to work on it

Not back on the road, but I do have a bunch of parts to put on.

The one time I took my glass T-tops off I left them in the garage as I was afraid to leave them in the back of the Corvette when I wasn't with the car. I can't see ever leaving them in the back of the car if I was to drive without them on again.

I sold my 95 Impala SS with 223,000 on it and it would still boil the tires and I never did a thing to the motor. I love the LT1

I don't think I would ever feel comfortable leaving my car parked with the tops off in my area.

Mine's got about 170,000. It ran horribly when I got it but we replaced the optispark and the timing chain and it runs great now.





I took my dash apart today to try and seal my ducts up because I wasn't getting much air out of the vents, and found my build sheet tucked underneath something on the back of the driver's side dash pad. It's very brittle, but fortunately I was able to unfold it without completely destroying it.

That too.

The other day I saw a super nice 67 Impala convertible parked with the top down. I just kept thinking how if it was my car I wouldn't be comfortable leaving it like that.
