Default I have a back up C4...

My main ride C5 needs to be refreshed after losing an engine and now currently in process of rebuilding. I can't complain since it's been boosted for almost a 100,000 miles and a lifespan of about 170,000 miles on the LS1. However I'm lucky enough to have my trusty 1988 C4 in the meantime to drive as my backup ride when weather permits, if it's bad weather I'm in my 2005 Dodge Ram. The first phase of my rebuild involves pouring a concrete foundation for the shop expansion I want to make pulling the engine a more enjoyable experience. Then the 2nd phase will be to pull the engine for inspection and determine the rebuild plans. Anyway, here's the morning shot of the C4 at the Starbucks for my cup of coffee.

It's a beautiful car and get's a lot of attention in public.
