Welcome Peter! C3s are great! Post some photographs sometime, it sounds cool. By the way, if you don't mind me asking, what part of East Texas? I live in Tyler.

Yeah my sister told me about the car show last night, we would have gone, but we were out flying to Mt. Pleasant and Sulphur Springs yesterday in the Cessna. I live less than 2 minutes from pep boys. What time is the car show?
