I drove home in the rain, but I'm de-stressed by the time I hit the parking lot when I'm in the Vette. It's only a few miles so I'm barely settled in when the trip is over!

Nope not this evening sort of a nasty night out.

Man, thinking about it now I could have used one. I went through a two day audit at work and it was painful to say the least.

This weekend she'll be ready LOL!

I did that last night with another forum member who had never been in a boosted car and he could not hold the Video camera while I was in boost so no Vid, but then we were on a closed course for sure

Closed course



Jeff says he has never been on anything (even bikes) that go from 20 to 140 that fast!

Steve, I told you to give the poor guy a ride. Not to scare the living daylights outta him

Thanks buddy

Didn't take the drive tonight, but kind of wish I had. Would have been a good way to unwind.

If I don't drive my car during the day, I always seem to find an excuse to go for a drive in the evening. Just love cruis'n around dusk!

I went for a few short rides as I do everyday, it was a beautiful day for the top to be down. I even took my Dad's C6 out for a spin because it just sits and doesnt get driven, but I only drove it to get the fluids moving through it.... yea that's why....

I did but that was because my Corvette Club meeting was tonight. Of course it doesnt relieve much stress when you get into rush hour traffic with dumba$$ tourists.

I took out the 64, the weather here in Indiana was beautiful and a top down ride was very relaxing and fun. The C5 was covered and I wanted to get the fluids moving in the old one. Makes the neighbors gawk too when they hear the roar of the 327!

Got home from work last night, stressed to the max. Took the '03 out for a spin. Picked up the REJEX polish I ordered, had a bite to eat and drove home. Everybody HAPPY. Life is good.
