Same here...
but since I couldn't go anywhere I decided to change out the AC Condenser on my baby Lux 19
It was easier than I expected (I was used to working on my '01 SS Camaro.), BUT it had just the right amount of clips, bolts, and laying-on-the floor-time, to satisfy the gearhead/garage mechanic in me. I fell in love all over again.
I also perused the C7 spy pics all over the web, and...I hope that the C7 is just as garage mechanic friendly.
Happy Sunday Everyone, I'm off to play gran turismo 5

not the best weather so
I worked on a project for my grandson
I bought this battery operate C5 on EBAY for 15.00
cant give the little dude a pink Vette
So I tweaked it a little LOL
No more pink
Its now Torch Red
Base coat clear coat with correct paint code too!
I need to buff it out, toss some black carpet on the floor, install the little vinyl door panels I make
and the new black vinyl seat. We ordered a brand new battery on Friday.
The wait for Xmas to see the reaction

due to the surgery and not being able to shift gears.Had to recruit a buddy to drive it home for me, another buddy was nice enough to come over and give me a ride in my own car this weekend.
Thinking it will be today or tomorrow and I'll finally be able to shift forward gears without pain. Hope you recover soon.

That's an impressive line of Corvettes. Looks like a fun weekend....good times!
What did you do this weekend?
I was racing with NASA Arizona at the Chuckwalla Valley Raceway (located between Blythe and Palm Springs, California). It's a challenging 2.75+ mile road course with some decent elevation changes. There were lots of fast cars and the weather was great around 75 degrees. They changed to an anti-clockwise configuration so it was like a new track for me. I still have room for improvement but I got my lap time under 2 minutes so I was happy. Even the 60 mile drive to the hotel in Palm Desert wasn't too bad.

Safety Car
I had similar surgery on the 9th of Nov, I picked up my new 427 on the 28th of Nov. In the 5 days I've had the car, I've driven 0 miles due to the surgery and not being able to shift gears.
Had to recruit a buddy to drive it home for me, another buddy was nice enough to come over and give me a ride in my own car this weekend.
Thinking it will be today or tomorrow and I'll finally be able to shift forward gears without pain. Hope you recover soon.

Most of you had a fun weekend while I spent mine lounging in a hospital after getting another heart stent installed. I still had the bandage on my head from the cancer removal last Monday and hadn't yet mastered/regained control from the prostratectomy in September. Getting old sucks, but I hope I'm through this crap and can get back to racing soon.
I'd post pics, but the forum would ban me.
