Twiddling my thumbs.
We put are CE back in the paint shop a last monday to get the little rear bump from the drag strip fixed, and a couple of other flaws in the paint fixed.
Dang it stinks not having it here to cruise, :cry
Anyone want to lend me their Corvette till mine is back home. :auto:
And just to note, the kid who hit me at the drag strip, his Dad showed up with a check. :thumbs:

Desertdawg --- sounds like you're making a perfect case for buying another Vette --- as a spare --- good idea

OK I'll rub it in ;) . Here is the agenda for the day.
And I am almost ready to go. Just one more coat of Zaino....
And a little more Simple Green.
Seriously, I am pleased to read that Dad showed up with the cheque. Still some honest people left in the world.

No awards but it was a decent (not great) show. The rainclouds started to roll in about noon and I headed off home.
