Default The Vette fixed itself? Up and running again...

I went out to the garage this morning, and I was preparing to take the car into the shop to figure out why the gauges weren't working. Low and behold, when I cranked the car over, everything was fine. Everything. Amazing.

Electrical problems are the weirdest.

I like it when they heal themselves. I used to have one that did the same thing.

My wipers fixed themselves on the way to Carlisle. What I didnt know was the switch was on and suddenly my wiper door popped up and the wipers started and scared the hell out of me. But hey they worked !!

Wouldn't it be nice if they would paint themselves?

Every spring when I take my car out of winter storage the temp gauge goes deep south to the right. I used to get in a fuss about this but with time I realized it goes correct in a matter of days. And stays just fine for the entire summer. Can't figure it out so I live with it.
