Thanks all. I can't wait to get out and drive it. They're predicting SNOW in San Jose this weekend. It hasn't snowed here in 35 years. I'll definitely be taking better pictures once the weather is better.

Makes me want to get my 72 out of the garage.

One day the snow will be gone.

Enjoy yours- the LS5 is fun

No kidding. The only tool I use on the Z06 is wax and micro fiber towels.

Spent some time this weekend fixing a few things. Bought a new battery. Had to buy an Optima because I could not find a single battery that had a vent. Even though the Optima can emit gas under extreme conditions, it's a lot more sealed than any of the others. Also tightened the power steering lines. They were loose and leaking. Discovered that there is a lot of disconnected wires. And the wipers are completly disconnected.

I broke out the good camera, so this is for Alan 71 who wanted more pics. The entire set is here: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../71%202-27-11/

And even more media. Start up and idle video.


























Hmmm, where does this go?

You may want to mount that coil vertical.
