Well, I picked up the Vette today at Lew's and brought her home. However, there IS a problem. Lew told me I had to take it easy on the motor for a few hundred miles and then bring it back for final tuning and an oil change to see if all is alright before the Gathering. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO DRIVE A CAR "EASY" WHEN YOU KNOW HOW MUCH FUN IT CAN BE????? The car pulls amazingly well and drives perfect in every way. So this will be a tough month, but I'll live! Wiil try to get some pictures up later in the week when time allows!

Looking forward to seeing it in person soon. Wow. Hadn't thought of having to drive easy after major engine work... Might be something I need to worry about someday...
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!
