Good morning nobody, welcome to the best Vette forum. I'm also in the state, Ann Arbor. I've had my '78 for 3-1/2--- 4 yrs., done quite a bit of resto/ upgrade work on it. I'm hoping to have it in shape to drive to our place at Hubbard Lake, you've probably been truckin' from that area before, lot's of logging and pulpwood. Good to have 'ya on the forum. Bob

I too, hauled chips and lumber. Worked the landing for "high lead". That was a place where you really needed to watch what was goin' on. I really miss loggin' though. [&o]Best place to work, outdoors, fresh air, fishin' during lunch and after work, and didn't have ta wear no stinkin' tie. I still get up around 4 a.m., old habit that is hard to break.

Hi nobody cares, and welcome to the forum.
WOW! Nice collection of Vette's. I'm a water truck driver, in a truck you floor it all day to get up to speed, in a Vette, you floor it once and your doing the speed limit. PG.

Must be why we all get along so well on this forum, we have allot more in common than the Vette's. I drove large cars(OTR) and medium duties for the local Budweiser distributor here for over 21 years. Spent many hours runnin' up and down U.S. 23 to the Buckeye capitol. That was in my previous life, now I'm having fun doing what I enjoy and should have been doin' all my life, heating, air conditioning, refrigeration. Whow! nobody, who doe's your paint work up in the north woods? your cars are sharp.
