Default If you Drive em - Post em
I've been a car guy all my life - Mustangs, don't hate me - and always wanted a corvette. I found my corvette, and bought it back in October. Yes, I've worked on it, but this car was met to be driven...!

So, that got me to thinking - "If you drive me - Post em." I'll start

This is me with my car at the gas station. I just got my classic plates and now I’m getting ready to finally drive her around for the first time ever besides up and down the block which does not count. Really was excited as it been many years since I’ve driven a C3. Now I can truly break in the new engine and rear and just give the car a good shakedown.

in the spring I’m planning getting her ready for paint.

I just recently got mine back on the road, finally, and still have a lot to do. Here is a quick run with my youngest to fill up the gas tank before a few test trips on the highway.
