Re: Meet Snowmobile II (Snowman)
Nice car Doug, congrats!
Could you bear driving it? What I mean is, I know you are not used to a quiet, smooth riding comfortable car! :D

Re: Meet Snowmobile II (Nate@CorvetteGarage)
Well Nate, Mr Smartguy, you know I will have to have a Corsa Indy exhaust waiting in the garage when the car arrives at the very least. :D
I have an excell worksheet already filled with items for Round 1 and have been comparing prices across the internet on those items. CorvetteGarage looks pretty good so far frankly so I think we're going to have to address that quiet car problem pretty directly very soon.
I will either drive the car up to Lubbock or you could drive down and stayover or maybe will ship the stuff and I will have a mod day at the house with my band of misfits here and we will do a community mod session. We'll see. Depends on when the car will be delivered.

Re: Meet Snowmobile II (Tuan Le)
Thanks guys. Got a great loan rate. 4.99% Check arrives tomorrow and turns around to Boston on Friday. Car available to be picked as early as Sunday. Now the challenge is to get Intercity Lines to pick it up early enough that I can play with it during the holidays.
I requested quote tonight for new wheels for the car. Getting CCW 19's with Michelin Pilot Sports. I am going to see if I can get a little more rubber on the rear without having to tub at this point. I will tub the car eventually.
I have a shopping list which I am going to give to Nate Caro at the CorvetteGarage to fill as much as possible. I may be able to do better on the Corsa Indy's with WCC but we'll see if Nate can meet their price.
More news soon. Hopefully will have a ship date in a day or two.

Somehow I think that my money will find its way into many people's pockets by the time we are done. I'm not at all worried about that. There is always enough to go around.

Re: Meet Snowmobile II (speedy-vet)
Doug- I was just getting ready to ask you where you lived....my wife told me she saw an EB Vert yesterday with a white top in Friendswood .....I told her about your purchase and I was pretty convinced it was you. I see you haven't had the car delivered yet.....looks like you gotta twin close by. I just thought that was strange since I have never seen an EB/White vert until I saw pics of yours. Congrats on your new ride my friend, lookin good. :cool: :thumbs:

Re: Meet Snowmobile II (C5Longhorn)
Hey Rick I don't know at the moment frankly because the owner doesn't know.
Is there a way to plug in a VIN number and read out the original build options?
