thank you all. I should have been more thorough in the intro. I am a retired educator- middle school for 35 year. I have been diving bus for 46 years and 5 years before entering into the classroom. Yes, I drove and taught at the same time. I continue to work driving bus and in the Summer I rive bus. My 75 Vette has been interesting. I should say never buy a Vette based on emotions. Well, I did. Was told a lot of bull about everything being new and never had it checked by a mechanic. Well, $12,000 later I am happy with it but not satisficed.. Thank again for the welcome.
