Default Spring Has Sprung - Finally!

The title pretty much says it - Spring has sprung, it was warm today, in the 70's. I took the 'Vette out for a blast, she enjoyed the ride as much as I did. Next I'll be thinking about a trip to the dragstrip. Hopefully I can get some friends to go with me so they can get some pictures and some videos so I can post them here.

I am sure that many of you are making progress with your projects, let's see some posts, hopefully with some pictures showing your progress!
I know how hard it is to pick up the camera when you are up to your elbows in grease and grit - but someone's gotta do it. If you keep enough cold beer around I am sure that someone will volunteer!

I could not believe how nice today was. It was painful for me sinceI am away at college andI know the vette is sitting in the garage under her cover waiting to be driven

Where are you from DeeVeeEight? or better yet what track so you go to?

It was in the 70's here too Wednesday so I took a day off and went for a ride with the tops off, to cool! PG.

Be glad you're not here... 34 degree HIGH temp... 3' of snow. At least the skiing is still good... 460" this year at the top and still coming down. At this rate I'll be skiing through July on Big Mountain, then start up on the snowfields in Glacier Park! I probably don't need to say it, but the Vette is still in the garage. I have been driving the TR on nice days that don't require the 4x4.

Oh well... we do live here for a reason...

Choices,....hmmmm,......do I work on the service rack this weekend, or,....ride my new Sportster?

Well, it kinda goes like this.....

Number one-----The "Starship". [sm=drlove.gif]

I can't drive my car in these days since the "special insurance" with US licence plates expired. On monday I'll hopefully have the italian plates and drive again.
Anyway in past 3 months ( jan-feb-march) I made 650 miles with my Vette ( lost only 200g oil from crankcase ). I take the chance to ask you where to refill the engine oil. look at pics of my heads
