After 5 days and a few hundreds miles of constant use. Checked the fluids, tire pressures, and gave it the day off. But a 89F outside now, not getting this afternoon off. ;-)

My wife and I drove in the Memorial Day parade in Westcliffe, CO today. We drove behind a '57 Vette... and the owner, who I met at the carwash and asked to ride in the parade, reminded me a million times that "All Corvettes Are RED!"

This was my first try at adding all the flags and I learned how to do it better just before I was nearly through - LOL!
I'll try again for the 4th of July parade and make the front look better.

Beautiful country you have there. Most of my ancestors are from Sweden. I hope to get there some day to see it. Unfortunately I don't know any Swedish so I can't talk to you in code....LOL

I installed 9011 bulbs in the high and low beams, and installed a new ignition switch that fixed some electrical gremlins. My abs light is off, no more O2 heater circuit codes, and my hvac works again.

Swedes usually speaks very good English. I don’t really speak Swedish myself since I moved here a few years ago from France.

Added some leftover LED lights I had from another project to the footwells. Very easy install.

Got it home and put the cover on it for a few more weeks. Wife is having surgery so not sure how soon I'll be able to play with it again.

Nice C5... and love the car cover! GBR!!

Between yesterday and today, ordered a few $$$ worth of stuff. Most expensive was a bucket of -10 stuff for the scavenge pump setup and breather tank setup. Also ordered air filters, some aluminum tube, and some upper injector adapters.
