Default I am almost back...

Well, last night I looked at a clean MY Coupe...2001 MN6. I am working with the bank to get the paperwork processed quickly, so I can pick up the car. The money is ready for payment, but his bank is taking the day off for the holiday.

I was so stoked to be back behind the wheel last night that I found myself with the grin and driving 5 mph under speed limit to enjoy the cruise, by making it longer.

My wife laughed at me all night, because I was like a school girl; all giddie and "poop" before and after the affair.

I will post pictures once I get the car!!!

There are a few things I need to fix, SENSOR for the Oil Pressure and the blinker switch. I have the blinker switch on order!

Micah

BTW, I don't need any of the "THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PIXS" BS.

Well - welcome back, almost Micah! But I thought you were a black car guy (and I'm not talking skin color here!) MY? Regardless - glad to see an "old timer" coming back to the fold!

Safe Miles, bud.

I chuckled over your comment about going 5 MPH under the limit... I always think to myself when I'm in the Vette that it's pretty unusual how little I mind getting stuck at lights!!!

Regards,
Dave
