Re: I'm Back!! (Red73)
Thanks for all the well wishes :cool:
I'll post more next week when I actually pick her up.
Thanks for the vote of confidence George. :cheers: I owe you one.
I don't think that I'll be swapping out for white walls any time soon :p: :p:
I got enough razzing at the track the first time :lol: :lol:
I did however, get permission from my wife to have another Chili/mod party this winter.
I also am in the middle of renovating the garage, with heat and all to assist in these winter activities :cool: :cool:
Are there any significant idiosyncracies about the 73 that I should know about?

Re: I'm Back!! (phoenix)
BTW, in reference to the new name, my wife has already started calling the new car "colonel mustard" She then came up with "woodstock" in deference to my prior vette the "red barron." Also, she likes "tweety."
I was looking for something more manly, so I am not going to change my name for now :D
Any suggestions?

Don't change a thing!!! Your wife and your car are perfect!!! I love Warbonnet/Metallic-Yellow/Riverside Gold 'vettes. Best colors ever put on Corvettes. My car was originally Riverside Gold and a previous (foolish) owner painted it red. If I ever repaint it's going back to Riverside Gold!!

:cool: :cool: Welcome back! Now you're in the Chrome-Shark pond!! Enjoy your 'new' ride! Love the warbonnet and the orange cars although I'm a little partial. I'd call her 'Warbird' which goes nicely with your CF name! :cheers: :yesnod:
ps: Look for Toms73's website which is an excellent site for 73 owners.
