Just took the Vette out for a hundred mile run! Even brought the wife! We stopped at a 7-11 for drinks and the cashier asked if he could take pictures of the car! And then he thanked me for stopping in his store! Too cool!

Way to go, Barry! 
Took the Pace car out for a first run after getting the engine bay put back together and cleaned up over the winter. Went about 5 miles and ran out of gas. Figured I would stop on the way back. What a dummy.   Thank God for cell phones and neighbors.  Don't tell Elaine.

That WOULD be embarassing, Jeff! I try to fill up when I'm coming home. I don't like the car to sit with an empty tank. I always heard it caused condensation in the tank. Just think about years ago when there were no cell phones. LOTS of walking! Hey, by the way, you got 58 cents?   (sorry, had to do it!). Wish you and Elaine were coming to the gathering. Dave and Mary, too!

With that badazz motor you have now Barry, you'll have to fill up before going, during, and on the way back

I know you're joking, Dan, but so far it doesn't seem to get any WORSE milage and it may even be better!  I'll know more when I fill it up next time!

Post some pictures of ole blue!!

Well, Jackie and I were invited today for a cruise with The Frederick County Corvette Club. It was from Frederick to Front Royal, VA. We had Lunch down there and came home. All in all a great day! We put about 200 miles on the Vette but one thing concerns me. At idle and at cruising speeds the engine temp is fine, but when you steaddy cruise at 65-70 MPH, the temp climbs to almost the red zone. When you slow back down,the temp drops back to normal. I'm thinking that the radiator is clogged up or something. What do you guys think?
