Glad to hear you're keeping the Vette, Phil!
It didn't sound like your heart was into selling it, anyways. You look good in your Vette, just like the rest of us! Put me down for the "Spirited Run" group; as long as I stay behind Morzoff, I'll be okay. I don't want to get all nervous, and end up in a ditch like the Mustang!

All I have to say....This will not be for Vegetarians
I'm oing to probably skip out on the run....and get everything finished for the Q....So I can kicked it after the run...
Dojo....there is no date set yet....so, I'll let you know as soon as possible so you can ask for permission to come out and play..
Oh yeah.....If you just got you're Vette or do not have tons of seat time with "Spirited Driving" though the hills, track etc.....Do not.....Do NOT! go with the first group!

Count me in! But I might run with the "slow old farts" group. I gotta say that the memory of just how quickly you can lose it hangs with me now. When you're hot-footing it, it just takes an instant of anything to lose control, even if you have good driving skills and lots of experience (a minor misjudgment, moisture/dirt/oil on the road, animals, pot holes, less than perfect equipment [i.e., nearly bald tires], etc.). And on the tight twisties you only have maybe 6 to 10 inches of extra road, and that goes away in a mili-second if something goes wrong! And beleive me, that mili-second does not give you time to ply any skills you may have, no matter how good or quick you are!
I always thought I left ample margin for error in my driving. As you guys know, it wasn't enough margin! So take it from someone who got lucky and only tore up a car -- Have fun, but leave lots of room for the unexpected! And take the extra time to check out your vehicle completely before hand.
Be safe!

Hey Phil, if you're taking votes (or at least "can't do's") on the date, May 27th is a can't do for me. It's my son's college graduation. Hey, that's reason in itself for a party! . . . Whoo-hoooo! - No more tuition, books and rent to pay!!!
