I drove mine to the shop in the morning and picked it up in the afternoon. They just put on my THIRD power antenna ( all under warranty, of course!Approve ). But man, the car is runnin great, the A/C blows cold, and it didn't rain today (it looked pretty bad in the afternoon, though). All in all, Life is good!

Very nice day here so I drove mine to work and I'm still here at work (swing shift). I got a wave from a red C5 on the way in, that was cool!

Took the wife for a ride in the '81 on some of the best roads there is, Calaveras County, California. All the bikers come up here for the best ride on earth. Winding roads through the Sierra foothills (the Mother Lode). Only compitition is the coastal route in Ca. Hwy. 1. I'm in heaven.

I drove the 01 to job #2 but didn't take a pic. (Somehow a pic in a WalMart parking lot doesn't strike me as all that glamorous.)

It was a top up with air on drive to WM but a top down lookit all dem purty starz drive home...... Ahhhhhhhhh!

Vette(s): 71 Colonnade Hardtop Coupe Torch Red with black interior originally L48 built to push around 360hp

44 mile trip to and from work. Found out my temp. wants to climb to 220-230. Replace stat, reset timing ( for some reason it went to about 16 deg. advance). Now its at around 210. I would like to see it lower. Anyway, like Marshall I didn't see a single Vette on the road.

Life is good. "T"

Drove my C5 to a Gig that I had on Friday (work).  Just like Fred said, it was around 107 here in Texas, had to have some air.  The Poop-On (C3) needs the A/C charged - she's just blowin' hot air.  At least we were in a vette!WinkBig smile
