86 Black Vert "Indy 500 Pace car replica" |  Had both of my babies out today...
It was a nice day, about 39 degrees, and partly cloudy. The roads were clear, and the vette practically called out to me. Took the vette and TA out today. It was certainly nice.

Good to hear...
It's almost 80 degrees here and it's just about xmas! I guess the good news is...
I can drive the Vette year round. That is good news!!

We've been in the teens all day. I made the mistake of going out to the mall because I wanted to look at a computer. I did make it through but I think the next time I go, it'll be after the new year when there aren't swarms of people. 
Saw some of the Bears and Titans game today. With wind chills below zero, I don't know how those guys don't get frost bite.  | |

I went to Best Buy today to look at car stereos w/ the possibility of an install and realized real quick... not a good time to do this. I'm postponing that gig until after the new year. Plus, I sure don't want a rushed/shoddy intall and after xmas the sales should be kicking into high gear as well.  | |

I'm sure there will be a post Christmas sale. I'm going to look to replace my Toyota Camry at the end of January. | |

I went out to the mall last weekend. I swear I think some people were just out there walking around, and not shopping for a damn thing. It really tested my patience. I hate big crowds of people anyways, and then for there to be people just moping around for absolutely nothing. Oh well.
Did you guys talk to the place and find out if they do vettes. I know the best buy here wouldn't touch mine, not like I wanted them too. I went there and asked for an installation kit, and they immediately replied, "we dont do vettes". I was like just sell me the damn kit. It really wasn't that hard. If you have time, patience and some ability you can do it.

Craig | No, I haven't talked to them yet and unfortunately I'm not really up to the task myself. I suppose I could be but....I'm not really trying to go there. I'm not proud of it but I get an anxiety attack every time I go near the car w/ a wrench. I know...I need to get over that!!!!
