Default Last 2 Gatherings In Arizona

Went to my last car show here in Arizona on Saturday. Not a big one but had to go talk to some friends and say so long. Didn't have our car there, but it was still a good time.


Then today, Sunday, we went to our last Arizona Corvette Enthusiasts (ACE) lunch out in Peoria. Also didn't have the car, but it was great to see everyone again before we leave.


Now, it's on to new adventures out in Tennessee. Probably won't have any videos to share until after we get settled for a while though.

Almost forgot, I will have 1 more video to make that will be about the rear bumper cover. Maybe next week sometime.

I am sure the AZ crowd will miss you and the Grape Ape. Cool videos - gets me anxious for show season here in the Tundra. About a month away from waking up the cars from hibernation.

Best of luck with your move!

We bought a place in Clarksville. I do have a friend that loves in Elizabethton so maybe we can be out that way when you're visiting.

As always, thanks for sharing. I know it was sad to leave old friends behind. Now you get to make new friends in TN!

Cool videos Mark, thanks for sharing.
That music on the car show video had me bobbing my head like Night at the Roxbury!
Lots of Corvettes representing at that show.

Sorry we didn’t ever meet.

I think it was you who offered to help me work on my A/C on my 1999 vert July/August 2018, doing compressor replacement, condenser coil replacement, flushing out lines etc. after compressor failed and left junk in system.

Ended up stopping the work and car sat until November to finish as it was way too hot, then in cool weather it was complete.

Don’t blame you escaping the intense heat here.

Glad you liked it. I usually use some type of heavy rock/metal but this one screamed something different. 😏 The Roxby, it does remind one of that movie. I didn't even notice that. 😂 😄

Yep, that was me. I'm the same way when it comes to the summer heat too. I usually tried to get things started early in the morning and then try to quit by noon. Glad you got it taken care of. I'm really looking forward to the 4 seasons again.

Thanks, Jack. I'm really looking forward to the new surroundings and new people. I have a really good feeling it's the right thing to do.
