Well, at least sort of. I've been reading this post for years.

I moved back to Woodland Hills a few days ago and as much as time permits (work is a b....) I would love to attend some local gatherings.

A little about me:

My name is Attila. I'm 27, spent a few years in the Army, sold cars for a while (I'm still not that bad a guy...) and have been a Corvette-a-holic for as long as I can remember.

About a year ago, I had the good fortune of picking up a nice 2002 M6 in Electron Blue Metallic with all the options I wanted and now I get to sped countless hours polishing her

Are there a lot of guys in the SF Valley area? Where do you take your baby for service? Routine or otherwise

Yes, watch out for Old Fearless Leader, he'll likely take a wrong turn on a run.

"Wrong turn on a rub".



What can I say? We'll give Pat the benefit of a doubt, did he mean "run"? I'm so sure....

Yeah, it is hot around here, but not as bad as southern Utah. I was living in the same climate as Vegas, the only good thing about it was that it was dry.

As for her making a good hood ornament, try this one



She's a good friend who my ex-wife was always jealous of (for no reason) so I had her take these after we split and made sure she got to see them
