Default OK...I'm gonna do it.

I am going to leave at 6:00 am tomorrow with BigAls01 and make the trip to mid-Missouri (Columbia Mo.) to put the car in the first car show of the year, the Corvette Cup......truly a great show, the Corvette Museum folks are usually there with all their goodies too..

Twenty-nine days after open heart surgery...I love the cars and the great people associated with this show...

This is MY therapy...

Moderators: please allow me to keep this in C5 General...where most the C5 Forum members reside..

Good to see you're getting out and about Steve.
Go easy on all the bending and stuff detailing the car, and ooglin' the slims. You don't wanna bust open your new zipper.
