I'm home!
Just got back from Overland Park, Had a GREAT time, & seen LOTS of nice vettes. Heard this car coming down Metcalf, couldn't tell what color it was, but it sounded UNBELIEVABLE! I caught the tail lights thou, & it was a vette 
Car ran great, got good gas mileage, and handled perfect after the lowering job a week ago. Got a new TREK bike, and hauled it home in the back 
Found out there was no room in the car for certain other stuff

It's funny you mention the Trek Bike.. A good friend of mine owns a Trek store in Shawnee Mission along the parkway...
I was going to say something to you when you posted that you were going that way but I thought, she ain't gonna fit a BIKE in her VETTE!!! I guess I was WRONG!!
I can't tell you the name of his shop but it's on the North side of Shawnee Mission Parkway, East a mile or two from the Smokehouse barbecue place... I think...
Probably not the same place you went to since you mentioned Overland Park...
My bad...

Thank you, always nice to get compliments on her. The tint is 20% I personally wanted to go darker, but the guy said it would have been TOO dark
Lowered on stock bolts, took the front bolts completly out. Sit's at 26 " all the way around

On more of a CAR note... lol... Is it just the relection and the angle of the camera?? It looks as though you have white backrounds on the two left hand gages in your car... in this picture anyway...??
Just curious...
