Retirement is highly overrated in my estimation. I am a man of action, I need to be challanged and worked to think I have some worth to the world. I know my wife says I am challanged in some areas but I think she is talking about something else. I will chose to work as long as the Lord gives me the ability and the health to do so....

I also want a ZO6 someday, who is going to buy that for me?

Very cool and rainy here today which is a nice change from what we have been having. That heat gets to me after awhile. I can see why Tommy does not like summer in Florida.

Gotta go work out, I have been slacking off for awhile after I finished P90X. Time to fire back up! Come on lets get going Guru's, you can rest when your dead!

Wow, I am impressed and also motivated to get back to the gym. I have been lagging for a couple of weeks now and needed to see that.

Geez Bill......err StigBill, another day another casino dollar! Got my laptop back from getting healed. Never let your AVG not update, never let your AVG not update......a hundred bucks later and a house visit because nothing was working right and I am up and ready to rock.

Who needs an answer to anything related to agriculture? I'm sure you all have questions and I have answers. Mmmm wrong forum....

That has never happened to me in my 90. You could always take the top off and get out that way......

Don, I hate trailer queens so don't worry about it. I used to trailer around my 63 and show it and hated to get it wet if it rained that kind of stuff. Finally got sick of it that and the red corvette always won.......speaking of which I am still pissed I didn't win the Guru car show....I should have at least won my class..........Just kidding!

Nice water slide Matt, I could have used that yesterday! TB safe driving today and have fun.

Not as hot today so I am not dreading going out in it. If it had been as hot as yesterday today I would have called in sick I'm thinking.

Have a safe day everybody!

Holy mother of pearl it was hot out today. I was out in it all day riding over the fields on my 4 wheeler. I think the wind was worse today. I am now slaming back a NA beer and laughing out loud because I want to. Tom I hope it cools off for you when you get there. Gotta go watch the ball game, I am not cheering for any team with the name of Heat!

Good words Don, we all need a reminder what is important in our lives and something like what happened to you and Kathie can bring it in a rush. I think I am going to go give Ultrawoman a hug for no reason...........be right back!

Man look at the time! I gotta get out before it gets too hot. It's already hot right now, corn is growing like crazy though. It's Big Tuesday which means lots of miles and lots of fields to look at. Got plenty of water and thank goodness the trucks have cold air in them. I am not complaining........

You guys have a productive day, I did not say have a reproductive day so you should not be able to fix it for me. ............

Man it's hot! But at least the wind is blowing so it makes it feel worse. I'm not complaining of course just making a statement. 99 here today and I got to be out in it all day. I am looking forward to an ice cold Busch NA and a cool shower.

TB have a great time, I gotta do that some time when I don't have to do this all the time. Don what did you guys find out?

Nuts Don, hope Kathie is ok. Keep us posted. Prayers your way. I would love to go to a big time car show like that someday.

It is going to be 98 here today so I am headed out early to the fields so I can be back in by 2 or so when the heat really hits. It must be summer.

Gotta go, I will check back later.

Geez somebody cue the Twilight Zone music....

It was hotter then the hubs of hell today and more coming tomorrow looks like. Must be summer.

My kids team won a ball game finally. He made three good stops at 3rd and made the throw to first for the outs. He did get picked off second though.....have to work on that.

I looked at the C5 today. Very nice all the bells and whistles. Interior wasn't as nice as I expected but would clean up ok. My C4 was setting next to it and in my opinion did not have to hang it's head at all. We will wait and see down the road what happens. My C4 is very nice and I have a plan for it and that is my project for now. In fact I think I am going for a drive......

Looks real good Bill, what do you know about fixing front porches.......just wondering.....

Good Morning! Just got back from making coffee at the church this morning. Can't have a grumpy choir. Drove the Corvette and it was a great morning to cruise slow with the windows down. Went by some hay fields that had been cut and that added to the ride.

My laptop in the house crashed yesterday. I was on Guru and had just opened the flying lizard post when I got a pop up that my AVG had detected a trojan virus and had blocked it. 3 minutes later my hard drive is crashing and everything is a mess. I will take it in Monday and see if they can defrag it or what ever they do. I hope they can save what was on the drive. Not blaming Guru at all I just hope no one else had a problem.....

Got baseball again today. Lost by one run yesterday. Nuts! What is harder to play then baseball? So many skills needed and it is such a game of failure. I love it so!

Have a good day off Guru's. Funny Tommy, when you started that out I was wondering where you were going with it.

Love my new mufflers. I highly recommend them. Cheap, great sound and NO DRONE!

You guys gotta hang in there, Nolan isn't giving up so we can't either.....much prayers your way!

Maybe some vitamin C also Tommy, and a good Zn lozenge will heal you up quick. Up early today we have to mow and then we have a ball game and I need to attack the shop it is so bad in there even I am becoming embarrased.

I had some new mufflers put on the Vette yesterday and really like them. They are NAPA Sound Master's made for the Vette. They were 96 bucks each and seem to be made well and bolted right in. Part #'s were 18417 and 18418.

The stock mufflers had a drone at 1500 rpm and did not have the tone I wanted. Amazingly the drone is gone with these and I think they sound great. Not to loud but you know there is a V8 in it.

I know, I know I am trying to get my kids to make a vid with a sound bite. Pics when I get them. I remembered someone saying that a turbo style muffler sounded good and was a lot cheaper. Heard that on a place called Corvette Guru.

Time for my oatmeal and coffee pop. Have a fun day Guru's!

I want to walk my two girls down to the altar and see them off on their lives. I want to see my grandkids! I want to pick up my new C8 at Bowling Green.

I would like to spend some winter monthes where it is warm and I can drive my fast cars anytime.

I will think of more........

Whenever I hear the Gunsmoke theme song it takes me back to simpler times. Happy trails Marshal!

Hi welcome to the Guru! I read that article, sounds like you bought it right. Nice car!

I wished I had bought that C5 when I had the chance......number 6 on the list.......

LOL......that's naughty Brad! Holy cow this is headed downhill already.......

The article is saying that GM is targeting the Porsche and Lambo guy. I don't know if that is a big market here in the States. Porsche maybe, but the Corvette is unique in the roll it plays they just have to make all aspects of the Vette more desireable. The LS engines are the best they have ever been.

I agree with what Durango is saying about small displacement engines being what works in Europe but not here in the good ole USA. Long live torque, cubic inches and rock and roll!

Here is some Jan and Dean to help me get moving.....

Good morning everybody. I am tired also Tommy, had a late ball game last night and was all wound up when I got home so had to relax a bit before bed so it was like 12:30 when I fell asleep in the big chair......then I woke up and had to go to bed.....I'm feeling it now. I need more tutti frutty coffee to get me going!

Congrats to Sukanya Roy 14 who won the national spelling bee yesterday. She survived 20 brutal rounds and spelled Cymotrichous for the win. There is a word for the day Matt, I have no idea what it means. She is from South Abington PA. Smart folks up in PA. I never was a good speler.

I must go work today and I don't want to.....I don't know why. Gotta go get the ball rolling looking forward to the weekend. Have a good one Guru's!

Let's face it the current customer is getting old? Who the hell else has the money to buy a 50 to 125K sports car? I'll show him who is getting old!

Quote:


I thought it was a little high also. That is why I don't like to buy from folks I know. I don't feel like I can beat them down like I like to. Although the 14K milage one you listed is 100K car with a broke odo. If the car I am looking at was only 40 or 50K it would be more in line. I also don't know what option pack it has.

Didn't your blue car that you are going to ruin come from Texass?

Thanks TB, I think the rear end seal is what I was thinking about. I was reminded that this is a wedding year and not to get stupid. Nuts, that's going to be hard for me to do.

I am going to look at the car just for the sake of looking I haven't been around many C5's.

We have a front plate law and like Kansas does not. If I don't run one in Nebr and get pulled over likely I will get a fixit ticket depending on the mood of the officer. He has the right to ticket me if he wants. It is the law to run both plates. Even if I have it with me in the car makes no difference it has to be displayed.

If I have Nebr plates and I go to Kansas and I get picked up for speeding and only have one plate I doubt the officer will give a hoot about that since he is going to write me up for 98 mph in a 65 mph zone.

Not that that has ever happened to me.........(what no warning ticket?)

Good morning Guru's, time to rise and shine! I hope that paperwork goes well for you Tommy. I have had some frustrating times down at the court house trying to get everything together that they required.

I had one of our vendors approach me yesterday wanting me to buy his C5. It is an 02, Mag Red with Black guts. Auto and he says it's perfect in every way. He wants 16K but already told me he would take 15K. He has a young family and needs something more practicle he says. I can identify with that. Says he looked all over the country to find just what he wanted. This car came out of the Houston TX area. The down side to me is that it has 83K on the clock. What say you guys? Was there an issue with the 01's and 02's? Seems I heard that on the Guru once.

TB and Volzfan what do you think? The car is in town and I have only seen it once on the street. LS1 engine with 350 hp I think.

You guys all have a great day, don't forget to look around and be thankful for what you have been blessed with.


P.S. Don congrats to you for winning the car show. I like your car and always enjoy you comments.

Ok, now I have heard something I don't know about. Tell me about how to lift my C4 in the air. What is the deal with taking the top off. I never take the top off. What up with all that?

That will keep you busy and out of trouble. Keep us posted on your progress.......looks like a good deal.

Glad to have you in the mix Ralf. I never have been on CF much. I found this place when I googled something for my C4 I had just bought a couple of years ago. I had a lot of questions and got a lot of answers. I have been learning ever since.

It's big Tuesday on Wednesday, this could get confusing. The weather looks to be fine and we could use a little fine around here. I enjoyed the car show and seeing everyones rides. Cool cars all of them.

Matt, I am sorry to hear that you have backslidden in the driving and care of your dream car. It is time to redescover your first love and drive the wheels off of it. Do it today!

Gotta go make the living, check in later......Go gettum Guru's!

I have to make the IMG's into a small letter img to get my pics to go.

From those humble beginnings to the ZR1.....The Corvette has pretty much moved forward decade by decade if you look back at each generation. I feel that the C4 was the beginning of a true overall handling performance car. The LT cars anyway.

I also can't believe they went with the powerglide instead of a 3 on the floor.

I have never seen Mick's car, I am thinking it's tuned well!

That deserves an Atta Boy! Way to jump in and get it done!

Big Griz!

Here is how I had it broke out. C4 was Big Griz and Flyboy but I had to go with BG's interior as the tie breaker. Although Joe's car is perfect. C5's was TB and Volzfan but as I learned early in life the red car always wins so TB's gets my vote there. C6 was JDtireman because his was the only one entered I believe and the same with Trea76 for the C3's.

Then there was Andrew's and Steve's 40th.........hell, everybody's a winner!

Good morning, the sun is shining and the wind is not blowing it looks like the perfect day.....and I have to go to work. Nuts! Yesterday was not a good day to do anything the wind was horrible and it was hot to boot. I felt sorry for the folks camping or having picnics.

It did storm last night but that system has moved east. I did not even move the Vette all weekend. Ended up watching The Longest Day and Midway yesterday.

Gotta get some motivation to get back in it today......I'm taking suggestions on how to do that. Have a good day guys only a 4 day week.

How about a few old pics Andy? A lot of us have never seen your car.....

It is 90 something here and the wind is blowing about 50 mph which isn't good. I also went out and was going to start the car and the battery was dead. I had left the door partially open the last time I had been in it. Probably best don't want to drive in this wind anyway. Hope I don't burn the steak......

Happy B-Day Letty! I'm thinking you don't look a day over 29.....

Nice Bob, thanks for the pics! Love those chrome wheels.....

Good Morning Gurus! Man, I slept in today and that is unusual for me. I was up early but then was reading my Corvette Mag in bed and fell back asleep. I dreamed I was at a Corvette shop and people were driving their cars in and there were things to eat and I was giving advice to them and telling them about the Guru........then the dog jumped up in bed and I woke up. It was a good dream.

I'm with you Tommy, 21 years for me since demon rum has passed my lips. I am at a point that I could drink a cold beer every now and then but then I just get a Busch N/A and that takes care of it. I have seen alcohol distroy a lot of lives and it was on the way to mess mine up if I didn't quit. So with some help from above and wanting to be a responsible husband and father I gave it up. Never looked back and never regreted it.

Thank you all who have served and are serving for the freedoms I enjoy. A lot of men and women have died or been hurt a long way from the homes and folks they love, to do that for me and mine. I never forget or take what I have for granted.

I am going to eat steak and potato salad and drive my Vette today! I hope you guys have and easy day......

Wow, way to go Jeff. That all happened fast I think. I will be interested to hear how you like it when it all gets worked out.

Free Guru car stickers to all entries! Yay Yay........or not.....just saying.....

I am wondering why this hasn't been done before. Are these new products that are just now coming on the market? This is the first I have heard of the single plane on an injected C4. Of course I'm a newb on all this performance stuff.......

Good morning everybody! Cool and cloudy but almost 80 by mid afternoon. Don you should have got a loaner from the dealer......like a new ZR1 or something.

I am sore today after a full day of working on the yard. It takes a lot of work to get the place in shape but it looks good after we are done. Of course we are never done it seems.....always something to fix or change. My wife is in charge of those decisons. If not for her I would probably live in the corner of my shop and sleep on an old couch serrounded by car and bike mags and old pizza boxes...........hmmmmmm maybe it's better this way.

Indy 500 today.....I used to get pumped up for it back in the day but now I am not all that excited. I like the racing with the Corvette team in the GT bracket. I have something to identify with there.

Gotta go, have a good easy day Guru's!

I have tried them all too and the Busch when ice cold is as close as I have found. The alcohol adds a smoothness that you just can't duplicate. Ahh spring in the high country.

Be nice Tommy! Maybe he is into cars.......or boats....or plants.....or.......

Got a bunch of yard work done today and the garden tilled up and planted. Had help from the rest of the Ultra's.

After I got done I sat out on the deck and had a nice cold Busch NA. MMMMMMM refreshing......took 4 ticks off me while setting there. Nice!

Good stuff Will! Thanks for all your input.

Nice Andrew! The coveted 96 LT4, some say the ultimate C4.

My car does not picture well in direct sunlight. It looks better in the shade or evening to catch the shine.
