Suprise mini car-show.....
I stopped over at Blockbuster yesterday to get a flick. There were some open spots up close and I knew I would be quick so I parked there. I usually park in the distance to keep the car by itself. I'm in and out longer than I thought I would be and of coarse there were cars on both sides of me now. Usually I would be all worried, but it was kinda cool this time. Didn't get my phone out quick enough before the Thunderbird pulled away. The lady getting into the Thunderbird said to her man, I really like that Red ; )
The owner of the Camaro was cool. I had a couple quick words with him. I told him he had a beautiful car. All he said was that " it's nice, but it doesn't handle like yours" ; )

Looks like the Blockbuster near Arden & Eastern. I've used that one before as my in-laws live near Arden & Mission. There's also a great Chinese restaurant there, think it might be called The Mandarin or something like that. Haven't been there in a few years, but I remember loving it.

Still a long way to go. Really want to powder the calipers and get new rotors. Re-paint some of the damaged paint areas, headlights, Halo's,............. never ends does it?

Good call. You nailed it. And yes, the Mandarin is still there and is the bomb. I grew up right there on Arden and Mission. The Garden of the Gods. Olympus Dr. is the street before Mission on the left coming up Arden from the Blockbuster. I still live in the area. The original owner of my car, my friends dad, lives in the Rich area on the other side of Eastern right there. The car and myself stayed in the area we grew up in. ; )
Nice to meet'cha neighbor!
Going to Hooter's next Saturday? If so, a large group of us are going to meet at MSI (Roseville) at about 9am and caravan to Hooters from there. Hope to see you there.

Boy that would have been weird had we known each other. I'm 87'. Just turned 41. Still pretty cool we attended the same schools though.
You were at EC before it went Fundamental, lucky you.
I have my kids next weekend so it's a no-go for me. I have them every other weekend. I'm yet to do any Vette functions. Only one I know of is the Saturday thing at MSI. I work nights at UPS and get off work between 3-4am so it's tough to get up early enough to get out there. I'm gonna try in a couple weeks though. Maybe get there by 11am or so. You a regular out there on Sats?
