Default Days like today!!!

It is about 70 degrees with beautiful blue skies here in Knoxville, TN and I'm stuck at work. These days like this really makes me miss my vette even more. If I don't finish my frame off soon I am going to have to borrow someone's vette for a couple of hours to relieve some tension. It wasn't that bad in the winter when it was cold and ugly outside, but now :cry I guess I can continue reading about everybody else driving and having fun in theirs to get me by for now. :cheers: Is it just me or did anybody else have withdrawals when there vette was not running for a while? :confused:

I go through those every fall!

It is pouring rain here today. (Washing the salt off the road) Hopefully it will clear up this weekend, and the Vette will see the road again!

:cheers:

It's not just you - trust me. I'm at least 4 weeks away from being back on the road with Miranda.

But - I always have Miranda's stable-mate if I need a fix!


It's not the same as the sexy lines and that rumbling big block that scares women and children, but it will do in a pinch (if I can talk the wife into it).
