Default Forum more important than ever

The forum will be more important than ever for me for the next week.

I just dropped the car off at the painters to have some paint damage repaired, he is also going to re-colorsand and buff the whole car - fix all errors made in the original job and repair all rock chips. In addition he will paint the new front spoiler and te side pipe covers - all in body color.

So its a whole week without my vette while it is in the hands of someone else. I will be relying ont eh forum to take my mind off the absence of my car.

there is some good news however as I have just recently recieved a new centerpiece for my coffee table. :lol:

Only a week? Shucks, in Michigan we are without the privledge of driving
Corvettes for 5 months altho some get lucky on a few nice days. Fortunately
I keep mine at home in heated garage and when I leave the house it's
always there awaiting spring just like me and anxious to hit the road. Steve
