Vette(s): 1982 Collector Edition #3413

[QUOTE=dwright] [QUOTE=Iron82] I need to fix the A/C and find out what the noise is from in the rear wheel.   It's annoying when you have a list of things to do.     [/QUOTE]
And don't forget that annoying problem of not starting when hot. [/QUOTE]

And that too...  but after I fix the others.  Thanks for the reminder.

Vette(s): 71 Coupe Black on Black

These cars are getting pretty long in the tooth so what do you expect.  Get in turn the key and have 100,000 miles of trouble free motoring?    If you buy 'em to drive 'em, you gotta be able to work on 'em or at least not cry when you get a stone chip.

Running over a Pipe is a scary one though Joel.  Hope no big time damage has been done.

I finally had a chance to wash mine today.
One small chip about 1/16" in diameter.
Wouldn't feel so bad, except I just had the nose painted in March
The good thing about the rain coming home- no bugs on the windshield
And it kept me awake
Gonna drive her tomorrow-- TO WORK!!! It's DYCTWD.

My lady laughs at that quote....     She finds more and more and more for me to repair.      

Women are so yucky.....

Vette(s): 1981 all original unrestored C3.

Well on my way home I added a quart of oil, and thought I turned the oil cap tight, but no and oil was all over my engine and out on the fender wells, so I thought I ran over something but my brother lQQked and said, you just lost your oil cap and thats how all the oil got on the Vette! So went and bought a new oil cap, took the Vette up to get an oil change, and they found the oil cap still inside the engine, amazing..so I have an extra cap! I got the Vette washed, waxed and now covered up till Tuesday when it will be in a 4th of July Parade in Brandon.
