Default Corvette hookey.

I'm sure that we are all guilty of this. Haven't had the vette out for a couple of weeks due to poor road conditions. We had a good rain that washed down everything the other night. So I'm sitting in my office, the rain stops, sun comes out, the roads are drying and I'm getting the urge. I tell my secretaries that I got alot of stuff to do and on my way out one of them says "keep it under 100". They know me like a book. After a couple weeks lay off it's great therapy. Just might play a little hookey again today .
