80/20
Hello,
92 lt1. You may wonder what 80/20 means ? Well ? I'll put like this. 20 percent of the time I bitch about the car and wish I had a big bag of money laying around to work on it. The other 80 percent of the time is pure therapy. It should be the other way around? Lol. Working on it and looking at it , and driving it. That's what does it for me. I have to say that , If by some miracle I hit the big money someday ? It would really, I mean really be a tough decision to run up to the vette dealer and get something newer , or stick with the C 4 and get it all strait and true top to bottom . Anyway ? That's my two cents.

If my car had expensive problems, I would probably bitch about them once in a while. It's odd to think about buying something I don't really need, and then complaining about the problems it has. Guess it's just human nature.
But really, I am lucky and grateful to have such a fun car. Every time I go into the garage, I look at the stance, the fat tires, the singleness of purpose (fun driving) and I have to smile because it is mine! And that smell it gives the garage after a hard run, smells like hot rubber and metal... heavenly smell to a gearhead.
I can afford something newer but this one easily fills my need for a fun driving car. It is a toy and nothing more. Plus it's paid for, has no problems, everything works. Life is good. Thanks for the reminder
