Default Welcome back Jim

Now you have to deal with pain in the ***'s like me who have infinite questions about whether your system follows CA smog certification as well as remedial STINGER installation guidelines. Glad to hear your BACK!

Always glad to hear those kinds of stories. Glad you made it through. Good luck with continued recovery. And the best therapy is parked outside (or in the garage..you know where I am going with this).

During my radiation therapy which lasted almost 8 weeks, I contracted the flu, which sent me into the emergency room with it's nastiness.

Wow! What a year!

I expect to be back in the thick of things by this summer, with a new C6 Stinger Intake by April.

I want to thank Andy Green of A&A Corvette, who I conside a very good friend. He held up our ship during this storm by keeping the intake systems alive.

Thank you Corvette Forum!!!!!!

That's incredible, Jim. Your determination doesn't surprise me one bit, however! I could tell that you are a fighter, both as a businessman and as a friend of us Corvette enthusiests.

Welcome back - now get back to work!!!!!!

Jim,

It's great to see you back, and of course, I wish you the best of health and happiness in the future. My visit to your shop last year in April was a pleasure. I still tell friends how absolutely incredible your turbo vette looked, and how well you treated a total stranger (lol, me)

Stay well,

Bill
