Default Just amazing..

I went for a ride in Jeffvette's 368 Last night.. I would say that we where on the road for about 4-5 minutes, Babying it on the freeway During that few minutes of cruising, We had our picture taken by some woman. And here the best part of the whole thing.A BMW-M5 tried to race use on the freeway.. Now street racing is forbiden on the forum here so..You can just say that we walk away from the race.


Thanks again Jeff for the ride..Get a hold of me and we will buff the vette out this weekend. Free of charge.

Needless to say... the M5 would not have held any advantage over a strong running LT5... and... we appreciate your ability to refrain from engaging in juvenile behavior !

PS... I have 2 Vettes that need a good polishing... wish you were here... and yes... we would go for a ride ( hunt ) afterwards...

It was good getting out in the nice crisp air. Car just pulls all the way to 7.5K.


I'll give you a shout in a few.

Ya, but did Jeff let you drive it? I need my car buffed out too; how about I let you DRIVE it for a free buff job?

Given the local weather here, looks like I'll be out for another ride tonight.

That is a lot of work to take a car for a spin. Unless you have a 415 In will do it.

Hey- don't fall for that give me a buff job by Nick or you'll be looking like Paris before the drive is up...

How about this cool weather!!! Had mine out too. I still had the stock tires on it from the drive to the dyno this fall...wow it was snakey, I need to get those stickies back on- no winter here yet, just suberb driving conditions, lots of heavy O2 & dry roads. Gotta love the Northlands.

My car has a license plate, just because its expired and from the wrong state doesn't mean it aint there! I figure if they catch me I'll just tell em I stole it and they'll write me a ticket for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, probably cheaper than a expired tags ticket. Gotta love the revolving door justice system.
