    Doh, I forgot to ask about any sinkhole damage. No wonder it was such a good deal.

    When you have cable you get frustrated
    When you get frustrated you cancel your cable service
    When you cancel your cable service you save a lot of money
    When you save a lot of money you look for a way to spend it
    When you look for a way to spend your money you buy a classic Corvette
    When buy a classic Corvette you realize you have nowhere to store it
    When you have n...owhere to store your classic Corvette you decide to donate it to the National Corvette Museum for a tax deduction
    When you donate your classic Corvette to the NCM for a tax deduction it falls into a sinkhole

    Don’t let your classic Corvette fall into a sinkhole
    Get rid of cable and switch to satellite TV

    I haven't posted here in months because I haven't touched my car. Still haven't but I did order a consolette clock block off plate from a member. I've always hated those 12v car clocks anyway.

    I've been lagging on the GT so I just ordered a Ram flywheel for it, aluminum Fidanza is coming out. It kept grinding every other crank. POS

    Got my flywheel installed, since I have the driveshaft out I'm going to get a hand brake set up In between the seats. Most likely lokar looks like a straight forward install.
