I was calling it "mid life crisis red"!:rofl: :rofl: Bad thing is, I'm only 33. Some of my friends have asked me if I have hit midlife crisis already, and I tell them "No, but by the time I have this paid off that is when I am expecting my MLC and then I can go trade this puppy on a Ferrari":lol: :lol:

Man those rims are sweet.:thumbs:

Congrats and welcome to the forum! There's alot of great guy's here in the Indy Group, and they always make you feel welcome. Between the meets here and the Midwestscc.com "cruises" (Whew!), I never seem to get anything else done. lol

Hope to see you around!

:cheers:

Oh BTW - I'm in Anderson!

Great looking wheels! I almost got those myself. In the end, I decided on the SP16A's instead. They are shipping out tomorrow and I am so excited:willy: I went with 20x13 rears and 19x10 fronts with the Michelin PS2 tires 275/30/19 fronts and 335/30/20 rears. I almost went with the nittos as well, but heard too many great things about the PS2s to pass them up. $4926 to my door.

I made many a trip to the city where "vulcanized car tires were first invented"; but this was looooong ago.


It is called DELPHI ELECTRONICS this month. It has changed names a couple times since Delco. I dought it will be here in another 10 years.

This is becoming quite the reunion in here.:lol:

Paul - those wheels are AWESOME. I will definitely be at the track day again. I had so much fun and it shouldn't be too difficult to beat my previous times.
RJ, Brian - looking forward to getting together again. Maybe next time Brian won't forget about our Hooters trip.:rolleyes: :D
Phil - I met you last fall on the square one evening and sat and talked to you for a while. I'm sure we'll cross paths again one Saturday evening.:thumbs:
Jim - I STILL need to see that C5 racer.


Sorry GMAN for hijacking your thread.:o As you can see though, we have a good group of local guys and a lot of them haven't checked into this thread yet.:willy:

GMANS C5 03-20-2008 10:00 PM

Eric.....I can't wait until we have our first "get together" again! It's great to see all of the familiar faces and new ones alike. Hopefully we can get something put together for April.

Oh BTW - I have a new addition to the Vette to "show off". HINT: She sounds alot different at Idle and has a bit more power! :D

Once the weather gets warmer you should stop by the Hardees on the West Side next to the Bob Evans and Kmart. Local car club folks gather there on Thursday evenings. They do the same thing down in Bedford every Saturday afternoon/evening in the Kmart parking lot just of Hwy 37.

Come out and join us! Here's a picture of my car so you know you're in the right place...

Welcome Gmans! If you get down south Bloomington way we could gather some peeps for a cruise.

I sure will, Hardees is just a few minutes from me. Here's a picture of my black coupe sitting next to my old neighbors C5. Maybe I can get him to come up too.
