Life Is Really Good!
Fired up the Vette today for the first time in about 4 months & took it for a spin! Gotta love it! Coming from Houston this is the first time the Vette sat under cover for any length of time & I was a little concerned. Not to worry! Oh, how I missed that sound of that V8! Filled the tank, put 35 psi in the tires & the Ctek 3300 on the battery & put the cover on & that is all I needed for the winter...Got to luv these C-5!!!

Spring !
Yeah, I started mine yesterday. I slowly took the cover off and in the sunlight coming through the garage windows, She looked just like the day I bought her. Sleek, shimmering and glossy ! Yes, life is good.
