Default C5 Section Vampires??

Anybody from the C5 section up at late hours of the night working on their C5 or browsing the forum? I'm currently up sanding down my radio bezel and center console to prepare it for some paint. Who else stays up working on their car?

I can't say I am working on my car.... But I am working nonetheless. Until 0700 hrs.
But I certainly am guilty of spending long summer nights in the garage cleaning every last inch of the car, or finishing up what ever project I am working on.

Time flies when you are having fun!

It sure does . I'm actually taking a break this damn sanding really works out your forearm .
I'll probably have these good enough to throw some primer on them tomorrow.

Nothing better than progress!

Time seems to stand still though waiting for UPS to deliver my damn TPMS so I can mount my new wheels and tires!

Just got home from a gig. Sometimes it feels like work but on nights like this it is just too much fun to call it work.

There have been a few times I've been up in the early morning hours and find myself hanging out on the forum. Sure beats watching the junk they have on TV.
