Default little buggers

I just got the cover off for the first time in 3 months. I opend the hood to check everything out before I started it and found this little pile of trash. Chipmunks runnin all over the place. They didnt do any damage. I just vacuumed it up, topped off the fluids, washed it real good. Then went and got some gas. The brakes took a few good stops to come back after the surface rust on the rotors but eventually they are strong again. Cruised around without the radio so I could listen for any signs of trouble. Heard nothing. Popped in the Motley CD, cranked it up, hammer down...IM BACK!!!!

Just curious - Do you plan on trying to improve your dragstrip times this year? (They are pretty impressive already.)

Thanks for the compliment. I dont have any play money left since wife is not currently working so there are no real plans to change anything at this time. I may go to the Corvette event at Cecil Co. Dragstrip in July to have fun and run some brackets but I doubt there will much of an improvement in my times if any at all.
