Hoped to get it out for a Mother's Day cruise, but storms just over the border in OK that are headed generally in this direction. Not sure if they will make it over the Red River or not.

There is some rule about that, a Chinese proverb, or Murphy's law that says 'when garage door open **** will blow in'.

You know, you could have had a one-of-a-kind. I see PPF, Ceramic, Wax, and other polishes and coatings, but have I never seen a cement coating.

Thanks! Got an inch+ of rain in about 20 minutes. No hail! Looks like the fun part is over. Apparently, the wind did something to kill the Hail Protector, so I have an afternoon project. Looks like you may get wet, but will miss the interesting part.

Default My Carvana purchase

Saturday I took delivery of a14 Stingray auto, one owner 25k miles. Carvana offers a 7 day money back guarantee so who better to help determine if this Vette’s a keeper than C5diag moderator Robert. He performed battery health test, voltage dtop test, full vehicle scan including a relative compression test. Thankfully the report card was favourable. Robert is super knowledgeable and meticulous. I’m lucky to have his help.

Congratz @Pauleyboy she looks gorgeous!!

Sad to report Yvette had the service suspension, stabilitrak, and rear axle issues pop up 5 lap into the autox event yesterday.

I'd share the video but there was too much inappropriate language for most viewers!
