There's nothing like the feeling of new tires~

My Husband took the Car up to his Brothers on Friday to get everything fixed for me..

We had a leak in the fuel pump, awful gas smell was always in the cockpit.. ( ? I think that's what it was called) and Hubby bought me new tires, brakes and brake pads.

My car smells so wonderful and it drives so nice with the new tires and GM brakes. (The Car had aftermarket brakes on)..

I drove it over the weekend, I just love that car. I love everything about it and I say this every time I drive it.

I had to drive my truck on Friday, and I despise driving it now. The Corvette just feels good, I love how stable it feels, the steering is strong, I told Hubby that I was made to drive a Corvette. Nothing like it.

Glad everything worked out. There is no better way to enjoy a drive than to be in a vette. Road trips are best when done in a vette as well. All other vehicles are boring to drive.
