My, my is what I said when I was getting on the freeway and I turned right in front of an oncoming Mustang that was going to go my way...I swear I saw his eye's pop wide open when he realized what was right in front of him right before I turned onto the on ramp. I wanted to be sure of what I saw, so I poured on the coal getting on I-84 and watched in my review as he sure enough "tried" to keep up...he quickly gave up and settled into traffic behind me. Was fun while it lasted.

Had to feel good getting the car out for a drive. Was beautiful here today also, but the streets still have a lot of salt/sand on them so it will be a while before mine comes out of the garage.

Maybe I will catch a glimpse of your beautiful Vette next month when I fly into St Louis to attend a friend of mines retirement at Ft Leonard Wood. Hopefully the roads will be cleaned up buy then...

The truck turn around... I hate it when people park in ours thinking it's a parking spot. especially when we have a truck come and they are blocking it.

However I do usually park my vet in it when I know we aren't getting a truck

And here all this time I thought McD's was just thinking of the Corvette community when they built the parking lot. Silly me..

It was raining like hell this weekend, but today is nice. Oil change light came on yesterday, I just noticed I've put 10k on my car since I bought it. 3 months ago...

Yep, it is a perfect spot, no idea why they created it that way, but I made sure I put it to good use
