Default Daylight Savings Time

Just a reminder to "Spring Forward" tonight. ..unless you are lucky enough to live in a certain part of the US that doesn't need to save daylight. We have plenty of sunlight out here in Arizona. Come on out and share it...........and make sure you give the V wave, It's the Law out here. The gunfight at the OK corral would have never happened if the outlaws would have given Wyatt the V wave. It's true, read up on it on Vettes in the West book I am writing today.

Yep - guys and gals, forecast for sunny Phoenix today is not a cloud in the sky, light breezes and 88 degrees!

On the agenda today is lunch with A.C.E. (Arizona Corvette Enthusiasts) at the Split Window Diner and then on to the Pavilions for Corvette Saturday. There ought to be 600 cars out there today and tonight, about 100 Vettes of all vintages around a rock 'n roll McDonalds playing oldies.

They are calling for our first 90's on Wednesday and Thursday.

If that ain't top down weather, then I don't know what is!

I know, sucks to be me.......

Hi Randy!

We've got Santa Ana conditions in San Diego today! Its a good day to be alive (and own a Corvette).

My gal friend and I enjoyed meeting you & your wife and seeing your 'ride' a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks for all the tips! I decided to go with the Hurst. I may install it today. Also got the new fuel rail covers so your live demo on how they go on and come off was priceless.

..rickko..

I'm glad you guys enjoyed it - too bad the weather was threatening that day and the turnout was so light.

I saw another post of yours where Patches gave you is intall tips on the Hurst. You'll love it, and it's a pretty easy install. Glad the help on the fuel rail covers was of some value....just remember to remove the oil fill cap before you take off the fuel rail cover! Post up some pics when you're done!

I was great to meet you and your gal Rickko - I hope you'll come back again soon!
