Good Morning CGs!

Wanted to drive the Vette to work today but the forecast is cold with rain and possible snow. Bummer. It's April, so I'm wondering where the spring weather is? It's about 33* out right now. Not very "springy".

Kids had a wonderful time on Wednesday. We visited the Jelly Belly factory in the morning and they got to go on a little train ride tour. After that was the jelly bean store and they had some samples and we bought a few baggies of goodies. Then we drove over to the water park and checked in. Kids swam for hours and hours. They both liked the tube slide quite a bit. We took a few breaks here and there to rest and eat, and our room was three doors down from the entrance to the pool so it was perfect. They really enjoyed themselves and it wore them out.

Yesterday my buddy brought over his brand new 2016 M3 4 door. He bought the BMW lower chin spoiler and some carbon fiber splitters to install. It involves the drilling of about 20 holes in the bumper and cutting the lower air shields. He doesn't have all the tools necessary and wanted some help. I was glad to cut up a brand new BMW! Actually, it was a nice compliment that he trusted me enough to do so. Aside from some spotty instructions, it went well and looks great.



Hope everyone has a great day!

Hidey-ho! Glad it's Friday, I'm ready. Cold and dreary again, same old, same old. The forecast for Monday (when I'll be going to the Twins game in the afternoon) is calling for a high of 41. But at least it will be breezy.

Great job, Matt!

Hope everyone has smooth sailing into the weekend!

Morning guys...The trip to KC was basically uneventful. Not a lot this morning, but have the Woodworking show this afternoon, and a swim meet this evening (#1 GD).

Nice ride Matt, that's a pretty penny's worth. Enjoy the game Brad, 41 and breezy....sounds delightful!

...never could understand why they didn't build a dome over the new baseball field.....

Nice work Matt.....I'd trust you with my cars......and would keep busy looking at all your tools......while you did all the work...

Today we must also work...right now the wind is not blowing so it should not be as miserable as it was yesterday.......holy moly it was miserable outside....

Have a safe and sound day Guru's.......

SUNNY, CALM, AND COLD IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, A GOOD DAY TO PIDDLE AROUND IN THE YARD. NEED TO TRIM UP SOME BUSHES, BUT THE GAS TRIMMER PLAYS HELL WITH MY ARTHRITIC SHOULDERS. OH WELL, GOTTA BE DONE :-(

Yard clean up continues. It's a 1 week plus thing that gets done twice a year. I like to have everything under control before summer gets here. That way all I have to do is mow and weed whack. Front yard is getting there on day 2.

My local dealer called me and said they had a brand new 2015 C7 Z51 7M Daytona Sunrise Orange 2LT Black interior with Competition seats.....Chrome Wheels......nice car I have seen it......don't know about the competition seats though for touring......stickers at $71K they will take $51K for it........that's 20 grand off......... Just passing along the info.........I am staying where I'm at for now.........

I'D RUSH RIGHT UP AND BUY IT, BUT THEN I'D HAVE TO STAY UP THERE AND LIVE WITH YOU ALL. YOU'D LOAN ME THE MONEY FOR THE LAWYER, RIGHT?--- HELL, SHE'D PROBABLY GET THE CAR IN THE DIVORCE---JUST FORGET IT---

I GOT DONE BEFORE THE TRIMMING GOT DONE THIS AFTERNOON. THERE'S ALWAYS ANOTHER DAY :-/

Terrible day here weather-wise...changed from sun to cloud to sun to snow to rain back to sun....multiple times throughout the day and in the course of minutes in some cases. Unreal. Did get the vette outthis evening after work and went to visit mom and dad.

Marcus, sounds like a decent price....I think that might be your new color!

....Matt, I would not be the shining example of common sense and conservatism that my wife thinks I am if I showed up back here with a new Corvette............now a new Harley that may be a different story............because we all know that Ladies love outlaws.....and there is one more thing.....I got the pink slip Daddy....comen off the line when the light turns green.....hmmmm hmmmm.....sing it with me now....well she blows em outa the water like you never seen.......I get pushed outa shape and it gets hard to steer when I catch rubber in all 4 gears......you know the rest.......that's my GS......Nice!

I'm pretty sure Marcus should get that Vette, and then order up that wagon hatch from Callaway.

Who doesn't like to save 20K? You can buy it, bring it home and say. Honey, I just saved us a ton of money.

By the way, it's not the 51 k that bugs me. It's the taxes and after-charges that really piss me off. My state would get another $3500+ in taxes, then there is tag , title, dealer fees. That 51K goes up real fast.

Agreed. Last time I was toying with the idea of getting a much newer one, I decided I much prefer paying the state $50 a year for license plates for the old one to handing them thousands for a newer one.
