I have been wicked good this year - no breakdowns! I sure could use a new set of tires so that I may safely take my owners for long cruises on those warm summer nights. My size is 225 70 15, although 235 60s would probably fit better these days. Please help yourself to the beer and pretzels I left for you out in the garage. Keys are in it, run it through the gears -but please drive it before drinking the beers. 🍺 Merry Christmas 🎅 (OK everyone - What's on your list?)

Actually I got mine already. After two years in my shop, I took the vette for a ride. The day after Thanksgiving, I took my two grandsons < assistant mechanics> fora ride , T Top off and we froze but enjoyed every minute. Afterward, they both said That was awesome GrandPA, and they talk about it every day . I don't know who was smiling more me or them. ButI could use a new carburetor , the PO replaced the original with a much newer carb that requires a computer , which isn't there . So I'm thinking of an Edelbrock 1405 to go with the Edelbrock manifold that's already installed. Big Al

I got my wish too, bought the car 2 days after thanksgiving. It had only 35 miles put on it in the last 15-20 years. I put 80 on it the day I bought it. Weird that I put more miles on it in my first day of ownership than the last 3 owners. Anyway, a nice pair of blue floor mats with the corvette logo on them would be just right.

A New Stinging Ray with a Lambo chaser would be nice....

If not, then I guess just the "Peace on Earth, Good will toward man" mumbo jumbo will do...

Dear Santa, How about a set of new sneakers and alignment.  Maybe you can get the elves to install the new horns as well!
