Default Think Vettes Are Really Inanimate Objects??
That would be a logical assumption but why is it that everytime I get into working on my S15 Jimmy project something breaks or goes wrong on the Vette? First it was the cam wiping after several years of use. Now I've started on the truck again and yesterday out of the blue the driver's side window on the Vette stopped working. I think the Vette is jealous!

I go out in the garage at least 4 times a day just to say hi.
It helps in eliminating the jealousy

It like the nightlight I installed to
