I'm Back!!!

Look what found it's way into my garage yesterday:

Been almost two years since I had a Vette. Sure felt good to drive this one home!

Welcome back! That looks like a great addition to the garage. I noticed the homemade ramps against the wall. 6" lift?

Haha. It was about 30° when I drove it home. That's +30° by the way. Not much of a winter up here this year!

I have to agree with you Friz. I was Vetteless from Jan 03 to Sep 04 and it drove me crazy.

Welcome back, your Vette looks familiar but, it has a much nicer paint job and wheels.

Nice looking vette

Have you ever heard of the Cruise to the Woods? It's billed as Iowa's largest cruise/car show and is usually held the first sunday in october. We all meet in Stratford Ia then cruise through Dolliver State park on the way to the fairgrounds in Fort Dodge. Be nice to see another C4 there
