Default On It's Way Back

Well, after my wife's little "incident" in the vette, things are finally starting to come together. Insurance has been taken care of and Tim Burke is starting to work his magic. And since one rim was cracked, I got black Z06 motorsports in 9.5x17 and 10.5x18. This time I decided to not go with runcraps and got 265/40-17 for the fronts and 295/35-18 for the rears.

She is going to feel like a whole new car when done I think new shocks will come very soon

Unfortunately I forgot my camera when I got it towed. But I will definitely be posting pics once it is all finished

I know the feeling of not having the fun car around...four weeks after I bought mine, some jackazz ran a stop sign on me and I was without my dream car for two weeks...I went !

Black on white? I think that is going to look great!

I thought I would try out the Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval this time. No more runcraps for me. I really like the black Z06 wheels on white. Now I am thinking I need to put on the CE Stripes.
