Subject: Re: Monday Chat 12.14.15 by rklessdriver on 2015/12/14 20:53:12 Man I am wore out! Thursday I drove to Indy and walked the PRI show Friday and Saturday then got up Sunday and drove home. 627 miles one way..... On the plus side my 2013 GMC Sierra Z71 averaged 18.4 mpg on the trip there and 19.1 mpg on the trip home. Loaded with auto parts both ways running 75-80 mph at most all times. PRI was very good to us. Talked with a lot of people and cut some great deals on parts and other stuff for the engine shop. Both my brother and I are doing so much work with the engine shop we really needed to get to get those agreements in place for 2016. We have some very serious engine builds/projects in the works. Made a somewhat significant (to me) decision this weekend as well. I am going to let my 92 6speed go.... With the race car, I just don't have the time, money or space to keep the 92 maintained and enjoy it like it should be. When I want to have a fun weekend drive, I honestly prefer to take out the 72.... The 92 means a lot to me.... building it up and racing it since 2005 has been a very fun part of my life but time has marched on and the car is going to waste away if I just continue to let it sit with only the occasionally good weather drive to work. My brother expressed interest in the 92 and I know he will take care of it and enjoy having it, so we are going to work out something. Of course I still have the 84 race car and 72 we just bought earlier this year so I don't ever plan to be totally without a Corvette. Will |
