Default VROOOM...

Just wanted to say thanks!!! After four years I finally got to take my beast for a test drive.

You answered my stupid questions! You helped me keep the car through a bankruptcy! You made me laugh! You made me think! You sold me good stuff on E-Bay! You ripped me off on E-Bay! You made me some friends and I especially like my Corvette Forum T-shirt from Carlisle.

Now, if I can just find someone to wave at....

I loved it man!!! I only got to third before I was at the gas station, and then straight home. It was a pleasure not to have to carry a five gallon gas can home again.

Once I get the tuning the way I want it and get it aligned, I'll be lookin for that wave..

:cheers: :cheers:

May something four years ago I dragged the beast home. It has been more of a rescue than a restoration. Started with a new frame and went up from there.

I will have to find another when I'm finished. I can't sit idle... :flag
