Finally took the vette to work yesterday, good day for it too, considering it was warm on the coast. The bad part is that when I got home and popped the hood, the battery was sizzling I checked the voltage a couple hours later it was 12.5, then 13.6 when I started it again.

------------------
I remember posting about a c4 a couple years ago with a c5 rear, looks like they're trying to sell it on craigslist. Good luck with that... $9800 for this:

I'm reluctantly selling this beautiful black 1985 Corvette w/ C5 rear with not even 80,000 miles on it. This is not like any simple '85 vette. Custom rear end, lowered, ground effects, custom fuel pump. Power windows, Power Locks, Power Seats, LEATHER seats, Cruise control, Power Steering, CD player w/ remote, new speakers, glossy paint, bra, tinted windows on passenger side and rear window, and last but not least, it runs smooth and handles like a dream. The turns on highway 299 are awesome for this car, and of course it has a V8 350 5.7 Liter LT1 engine with that beautiful Corvette horsepower and REMOVABLE sport top that I've had down ALL summer long to drive in the sun and warm winds. I'm ONLY selling this to fund an investment. In the last year I've had installed: New radiator, new fuel pump, speed sensor, K&N air filter, new ECM computer, new distributor, and manual illuminated switches that control the fuel pump and cooling fan. If interested, please email me back and we can talk about price, meeting up to see it, any questions you may have. Here are the issues I have not and may not address unless specifically requested by a potential buyer: needs new weatherstrip, needs wiring for rear window defroster, minor interior work, one reverse light is out, not smogged yet. If you want a unique car that runs great, is fast, and looks absolutely beautiful, email is preferred so I can organize all of the offers made and questions asked.

twas what I was thinking, but I checked it a couple hours later, so it may have discharged the excess by then (?)... who knows. It needs work regardless
