Nice picture Dave. Vette looks great. Glad you solved your ignition problem before the trip home. What size of TA's do you have on her? Thinking of replacing mine next spring as they're over 10 years old.

Thanks, guys!  And thanks for the calendar suggestion.  I'd be honored if that happened, let me know if there's anything I need to do.  

Case75: the T/A's are 235/60's.  Mine are over 10 years old ('bout 11), too, but only about 6K miles.  I think I'll be replacing them next spring, especially if I make the trek to CO Springs.  I'm pretty sure I'll go with the BFG's again - I've been pretty happy with them for the 11 years I've owned the car.

Thanks for the info Dave. Mine came with 245/60's and I've been wondering about going to the 255/60's next year.

Whenever Adam posts the notice for the 2013 calendar submissions, just follow the directions to submit your car. If you send it to him now, he'll forget, or loose it before then.....LOL LOL LOL
That's why he has the procedure for submitting calender pics. Should be about time to do that, too....
