I have not started or seen my Vette since Feb. I should go over and put a charge on the battery and then start her up afterwards. Might be another few weeks before we have enough $$$ for plate and insurance.

Be on your way then. Clean her,wash her, listen to her, dream about her. It will be well worth the trip.

I should, another confession.... By the time I get home and have dinner, play with the kid and then get her ready for bed it is 9:30 at night. Then to drive 30 min to get to where I have her stored makes for a very late night. I know, lots of excusses...

Be very, very careful. Last Saturday, I cleaned the engine compartment for the first time in years. Then I lovingly washed the car and dried it. Next, I got out the touchup paint and gingerly fixed all teh gravel divots in the nose. Finally, I took off the top and took her out for some spirited driving. Some *&$@!% spirit - my D36 gave up the ghost, and now I have the cleanest Vette on the block sitting idly in my garage awaiting a transfusion of money.

Being jobless really put a drain on our bank account. Just trying to build it up a little $$$.
