Looks like she's ready to head out as soon as the door opens

nice touch with the padding on the garage support bar I did the same in my garage I used the foam stuff that you wrap around pipe to insulate it looks like the long foam play toys that you use in the pool

and my garage is always under construction.


great looking car , I could never get my wifes black car to look as nice as yours . So I sold it and bought her a new car in pearl white.

My previous black C4 always had streaks, no matter how hard I tried. No such problem with the gray C5.

Due for some upper 40s here in Chicagoland, maybe close to 50, by the weekend. If it doesn't rain (too much), it will be time for a short winter cruise.

It's actually lowered all the way own stock bolts. Didn't cut bushings. My driveways kinda has a steep lip, so I may leave it.

I like Winter! Skiing will help pass the time until I can take the Vette out of Hibernation.

Here, they keep calling for 40's and 50's. Each day I've looked for the past week, it says in 2 days it'll be 45. Well, then two days later, the high is 30, at which point, it again says in 2 days, the high will be some other fictitious number. Yesterday when I was getting ready to leave work, it said today it would be 47 by 2pm. STILL says the CURRENT temp is 42 right now as I type. http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick...Type=graphical Well, newsflash for these folks, the temp is 24f. far cry from 42. Very big diff from 47.

They are calling for >50 on Saturday. Maybe it'll be above freezing. I'm not hold'n my breath.
