Default Taking it for a Spin

The 22k mile survivor, stored for the last 10 years ..
just replaced the alternator , the battery was draining , so I pulled the negitve wire from battery and the car turned off .. lead me to replace the Alt .. got a Brand New one from Auto Zone . For $160 .. Father’s Day sale 😁
Really easy to install .. took about 30 min total ..
1st time doing one — thanks to YouTube ..


getting use to being a Corvette owner is Kinda cool?
