Default The problems begin.....

Just got my car back from the shop. Had a new windsheld put in(last one shot up by punks) and a new stage II Spec clutch put in. Its like driving a new car. I haven't drivin a vette with a new clutch. I now need to relearn how to drive it again. All is good, one would think. NOW the "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" light came on. It goes off when engine is turned off and on, but comes on again once I reach highway speeds. Well back to the shop again. Until now all the money that went into my vette was going toward parts for my engine build up and regular stuff(oil changes, tires, etc). This last month has been the worst. I hope everything will settle down again.

Yeah I know that the problems never stop, but I can think happy thoughts, can't I? Part of my engine build up is set aside for parts that are probably going to die that should be replaced(opticrap, etc.). I just hope that nothing goes wrong for the next couple of months while I get all the parts together.<crosses fingers>
