Default Going through with-draws

I picked up some curb rash on my left-front 505a couple weeks ago, got it shipped off to CCW last Tuesday for repair.....but I'm missing my baby!! I need my weekend fix, I mean drive that I usually take on Sat mornings!!!!
Now that I can't drive her, I want to that much more!!

ahh the insanity of it all, but I love it. You know these cars are special when they make you feel like that!!

(Sorry, meant to post this under General)

I think we all know what you mean. I always read the Sunday paper in the morning, but with the nice weather, it's going to be hard to do that before taking the Vette out for a nice, quiet, relaxing drive. Ok, Ok, it might not be so quiet, and I might make the drive a little more exciting, but still..........

Sorry for your misfortune but it will that much sweeter when you get it back. Maybe you should call a friend with a Vette and talk him/her into a ride.

Actually.....I kept my z06 chromies w/runflats after I mounted the CCWs. When I let this vette go, I plan to put the z06 wheels back on and keep the CCWs (for the next vette?? we'll see).
Anyway, I decided to tough out the repair period which will make it that much sweeter when I do get it back. And not only that, if I did in the meantime put the z06 wheels on, my wife would never let me hear the end of it!
