Default Sleepless Nights?

Am I crazy or does anyone else lay in bed at night and toss-n-turn thinking about your Vette and the mods you want to do in the spring? The guys at work think I've gone off the deep end. Just call me . . . sleepless in Vernon Hills.

. Hey Slammed Vette - Do you have a VRod, or just using one for your avatar? I was soooooo close to getting a VRod, but the SO put her foot down after my dad opened his mouth about getting run off the road on his bikes So, I told her I guess I'll just have to put the money towards a C^ Victory Red vert.

OK, hey sleepless in Vernon Hills, yes you are crazy! LOL Wait a minute, last time I checked I have at least one Ecklers cataloge in every washroom, one in the kithcen and I can't even count all the magazines I have in the living room. What's that Mequire guy say, yes I beleive we are certifiabley(sp-is that really a word?) car crazy! Hey Steve, I beleive your car was @ hp when mine was there a year or so ago. With the new season approaching we need to hook up at one of the car shows this year to chew the fat so to speak. To answer your question, no you are not crazy, what you are experiencing is Vette withdrawal, a very common experiance around the Chicago area this time of year. Now go get some sleep! Later

Hey Johnny, I bet your like a cat on a hot tin roof now in anticipation of those mods. It sure it will sound sweeeeeet! Ya gotta love the sound of a car with a cam in it. And your getting a jump on it so when the weather starts to break, you will be all ready to go. Looking forward to seeing everyone again this spring. Best of luck.

It was great seeing you guys and having lunch. Hopefully, it won't be too long before we're drinking Mike's Hard Lemonade and pestering Kevin on a daily basis.
