Default Very Few Parts But Lots of Smiles

Only a replacement battery and a washer-fluid switch has led me to 15 years of miles and smiles.

Today she is 15, and if not for some snow here in the Memphis area, I'd take her out for cake.

Happy Birthday to my 50th.

Congratulations Your Vette has been very reliable. How many miles have you put on it?

Congrats on the anniversary. Went through Memphis last Friday on the way to Columbia, TN. Got stuck in the huge traffic jam east of Memphis on I-40. What a nightmare - about four hours stuck at a stop/barely moving due to all the semi trucks and cars off the road.

Yep, that all took place at the 120 mile-marker. UGLY

I was actually going to head to my place on the TN River (exit 126) when I heard of the pileup. Decided just to stay at home.

Take care
