BarryB72,
to your ride!

We celebrate our Corvette's Birthdays. Great excuse to have cake and beer.

It's not my car's birthday. It's a new holiday I just created.

March 3 = C3 but sure, cake and beer works.

and do something nice for your c3.

Hate to poop the party, but C was the date code for March in 1970 and no other year due to a labor dispute (strike) in 69......I think

I really just had an alternator date in mind.

But poop on cake does not sound like we'll ever get our own holiday.

Pretty funny. Today, I'm chasing down a black phosphate hex nut with an integral swivel washer used to secure the two threaded studs of the small gauge dash bezel to the lower shifter counsel trim piece. I was really looking forward to cake and beer. Any reason at all to celebrate something, anything besides trying to find parts for a 51-year old car. I'll have a beer later to celebrate your alternator!!!!

Yeah, sorry about that.

But here’s to your alternator!

I can see it.

The letter C is the 3rd letter in the alphabet so C=3

Count me in. HAPPY C3 DAY ON MARCH 3

I never rain on a parade that is trying to have fun. I like the March 3 date and the C-3 took some thought. I like it.
My 1974 Convertible will be 46 years young on Friday the 13th this year. I have to celebrate that, then I can say the devil made me do it.
Thanks for the early morning smiles.
