I drive it on the street for sure. But it's just a toy for me, not a DD. When I get tired of the silky smooth ride and ultra deluxe features the Denali has,.....I drive the Vette.
No car I have ever owned has the raw power my Vette has,.....but ...No AC, No PB, No PS,...and rides like a go cart,.....on steroids.

When I first joined on here a lot of guys were posting pics of their projects, and I learned a lot. I decided to do the same, but made the mistake of using a free hosting site. Cobbled HTML code to make the site, and over time it grew and I thought it was pretty nice. Then the free hosting became ad infested, and ultimately they shut it down.

So,...no more web site right now. Maybe someday I'll put another one up.
