Default Many Thanks

Well my car is done and back on the road and I want to send a HUGE thanks to Z06 Jim

Without hesitation he sent me the OPS that I needed to get may car back on the road to make sure we did not have to miss the CI. I have never been able to thank the friends I have made on here enough--they have all been closer to me than friends I have here at home---and you ALL know who you are. This forum has been one of my most cherished places for relaxation and support and I will be forever in the debt of all those who have taken me (and my husband) in without reservations and gave us one hell of a family

I'm really glad to hear that you are "Happy Motoring" once again....but what do you mean that you're done? You've just started my friend!

From the pics I've seen - you've transformed your car from just another Corvette coupe into a show car that is personalized to your taste.

And as far as the friends you and Wayne have made here - you two are a couple of really nice people that I am honored to call my friends.

Enough of the gushy stuff - so what's next? LT's, high flow cats, twin turbos, etc. I think you should try to get that car into the 9's!

Hi guys---thanks for everything. Jim not only has a kick azz car but man---what a great person. For those of you that we will meet at the CI---we can't wait---for those of you we will not get to see---sometime in the future I hope.

Jon--yeah I know---just found some more stuff I want to do---all bling though

Randy--no performance for this one---it's going to Kat when she turns 18---it's fast enough---but you can start another list for the next one I get And stop showing Wayne pics of your garage He doesn't need any more ideas

Steven---my car will never look that stock

Oak--thank you my friend--again---you had me worried with all that bad weather---glad to finally here from you

Nomi--just damn man damn--here's to us staying in our cars

Lori, my car is pretty much how it should have been from the factory and have lots of fun at CI

Oh I just put on the Koni Shocks and while you are having a blast at CI I will be boosting away in the Hill Country giving them a workout

Hey Oak, this was very minuscule compared to the generosity you and the other guys displayed for Nouman when he was having his health issues...
My hats off to you my friend and hope to get a chance to meet up some time down the road...

Lori, congrats on getting the car ready. Everyone, have a great CI. The wife and I are heading to Daytona Beach from Pa this Friday so we won't be at the CI this time, maybe next year.
