ANOTHER SUMMER DAY IN THE NATIONS. TOOK THE '87 FOR A RUN TO IHOP OVER AT MUSKOGEE WHILE IT WAS STILL PLEASANT. HARVEY HASN'T HAD HIS LID ON ALL SUMMER, THE MORNING AND EVENING CAR :-)

THE OBSTACLE COURSE NEEDS CUTTING AGAIN; I MAY IGNORE IT ANOTHER DAY OR TWO.

WANT TO HEAR ALL THE SKINNY ABOUT THAT THAT ORANGE CAR ASAP.

Howdy! I'm back in prime form as I made it past 10 this morning. Meanwhile, the Vette will stay in the garage - we have to go somewhere with dirt roads this afternoon, and the truck is already filthy, so we'll take that. It's gonna be stinkin' hot out, too.

Enjoy your Sunday, Gurus!

Good Morning CGs!

We actually have no rain today but I am at work so I can't enjoy it. Rain in the forecast the next four days.

Supposed to go to parents' later and install the new bathroom vanity.

Good luck with the cars, Bill and TB.

Hope everyone has a great day!

She's home! Long trip down and back, and had to wash the bugs off of her before I put her away. The six speed manual is fun. I think I'm going to like that. I missed third gear twice, tried to shove it into 5th. I messed with the radio, the PO installed a Pioneer AppRadio, Alpine amp and speakers. I couldn't get it to link to my phone, but connected to my Ipod easier than pie. So with the mobile hot spot, I listened to XM, 60's on 6, on the way home.

I Love this color!

At home on the lift.

The seats are very comfy, but that's a lot of black back behind the seats. I've got a cashmere mat ordered. Not sure what to do about the Alpine sub woofer sitting back there either. Filled it up, up the road from where we met and I picked it up, and drove home. When I punched the MPG button, the damn thing only made 30mpg. Texas roads have speed limits of 75, so I was taking advantage of that. The Borla Stinger exhaust is more, uh how do I put this, aggressive sounding than my Corsa. When we got home, Rosie said, "I could hear the exhaust every time you pulled away from a stop sign." Not terrible inside the car really.

Don't think I'm losing track on you guys' Vette exchanges. I see all of you moving up a generation or two. (Or fixing up a blast from the past).



I'm happy if your happy, tee.
