I am just getting back on my feet from my quadriceps rupture. I haven't driven the vette since the first of Sept. Bummer.

I agree with (alphabetically) Cruz and Rubio. I have some issues with each but they seem to be the frontrunners.
Glad you are on the mend.

If we were neighbors, I would gladly wash that Vette for you.

As far as the debates go, at this point, I don't care which Republican gets the nod, I will support them 100%

If a dem gets in again, it's game over for this country, if it's not already.

Hameister

Glad to hear you're feeling better,...I didn't even know about that.
I've missed a lot here.

I can only hope that Independents come out strongly for the Republican candidate.
That would swing the election. 3% or 4%, makes all the difference these days.

You know my grandson is in the University of Buffalo Medical School.
I received an e-mail a few days ago, and he told me that several of his professors spend most of their time, trying to make him feel guilty for being born a white male.
It's just unbelievable what's happened to this country!

I like being a white whale...er...male I mean......I did not know we are not cool anymore....

Rubio would work for me....like Gma used to say....if its a yellow dog running on the Republican ticket vote for him.....no really she used to say that....

Hope that shot helps Hammy....if you knowed you was gonna live so long you would have taken better care of yourself.....

My problem is Sciatica.....both sides.....I go to the bone cruncher and that helps for a while but it keeps coming back......its a bitch......

GS Jim love that pic.....I love the *** end of the GS.....it is sooooo much better than the C7.

Speaking of perfection.......

Hameister

I agree,....I truly like Dr. Ben Carson, but just don't believe he has the skills to debate Hillary.
She'll dance all around him with 20 years worth of ingrained rhetoric, and Liberal talking points.
Dr. Carson will know most of it is BS, but his responses will be slow, and clumsy, and he'll look terrible.
Rubio, has the capacity to eat her alive. I hope he gets the nomination.

As for my spinal tap, I think it may be working. I realize it's much too early to tell, but I have a little less pain today, than I've had in months.
Also, the pain is different,...feels more like a muscular ache, than a sciatic nerve pain.
My doc said it will take approx. 3 days for the Cortizone to take full effect, so we'll see, but so far, so good!

Remember when TV comedy, and variety shows, were good clean fun, and entertainment?

Remember this guy...

Sorry, no I do not.

jdlew

not to interrupt the conversation, but i said i would get a better picture for you. so here they are.





i need to stop taking pics with my phone and break out the camera

Hameister

I enhanced them a little for you. Makes them "pop" a little.

jdlew

Glad to hear that your shots could be working for you. Hope you get to start driving again soon.

jdlew

For a comparison, this is how it look when i bought it back in January.

Huskerman

Much improved JD.......did I ever tell you I love that color on a Corvette.....and the black halo really makes it pop........

Hameister

I'm partial to that color as well.

I'm also feeling much, much better today.
I think that spinal stabbing procedure I had done on Wednesday is really working.

As soon as it gets light, I'm gonna fire up the Silver Bullet, and I'm outta here!!!

EDIT: Oh, some time back we were talking about the viability of Fuel Rail Covers, on vs. off.
I removed mine, and I gotta tell ya, so far, I'm seeing no difference in temps, although common sense dictates everything directly under the covers has to be cooler.
AND, I'm hearing no difference, either in the sound of the engine, or the sound level.
I'm leaving the Fuel Rail Covers off, primarily for ease of access to plug wires, and for whatever cooling is provided for coils, cables, etc.

jdlew

I too like the look with out the covers mine just is not as clean

Hameister

Were the valve covers on the LS2 painted black from the factory, or did you, or someone else, paint them?
As you can see, they're an unpainted aluminum color on the LS3.

Also, what are those decals on each coil? Again, stock, or aftermarket add on?
As you can see, my coils have nothing on them.

Hameister

I answered one of the questions myself.
I blew up your photo, and the decals appear to be "Granitelli Xtreme Power" logos, so they're after market for sure.

What about the valve cover color?

jdlew

Coils are the Granetelli Xtreme's, bought them when i bought the valve covers along with the wires
Valve covers are Holley textured black. had a valve cover leaking on it when I bought the car. Figured it was a good excuse to change them out for the new ones

The marks on the intake are from the plastic covers

The Holley valve covers allow me to do away with the factory coil bracket also.

My neighbor invited me along to a game farm with his church group. A good time was had by all.

A few pics. I got a few roosters but didn't do so well with the ducks.

jdlew

^^^ looks like you had a good time

R&L's C6

We did, there was about twenty of us. A member of my neighbors church paid for it all, at $20 to $25 a bird, it was a really generous thing for him to do.
