Carlisle...end of August!
Drove it yesterday for the first time in about 3 weeks. The only things I know of that are wrong with the car are:
1. Driver's door does not turn on the interior lights, although the "door ajar" on the console lights up.

Runs and sounds great, drove it 50 miles in 116* weather yesterday on the 101 and the coolant temp only got up around 200* which is about what the pavement was. :cool:

My vette is running great. I drive it some every week-end and after about a year since I did the motor work it still looks like the pic in my sig.
