It's been in the teens and 20's with snow on the ground.
It's the Black Hole of Vette Disusage.
I didn't anticipate this when I signed on.... Rough Sailin.
I hope the lucky ones are enjoying! "We'll be back".
Went out a couple of days ago to get her out cuz the ice was finally
gone. Took her for a little spin with Momma cause we were stir
crazy and had a major overheat before we could get home.
$*$&%) radiator had a hole in it at the top in the fins on the engine side. It's the original POS. Got her out and limped her to 71Sharks today for a new 4 core radiator and new harmonic balancer (old one slipped the rubber).
8 hours later, I got to drive her home (THE HEADLIGHTS NOW WORK TOO). It was 30 degrees or so and Momma's side T-Top leaks lots of cold air, but it was sure fun to finally get to go 50 miles or so without any temp probs.
I sure do sympathize with you northern guys. My stepson did a stint in Anchorage Alaska for the Air Force (he's in Okinawa now) and we went up during the winter to see them. Sure is purty up there!!! Can't wait to go back.
