Watch mine collect dust

Winter kinda isn't leaving. While the streets are mostly clean, the city covers them with about 6 inches of gravel (grossly exaggerating, but it is a ridiculous amount).

Haha just realized someone else is also from Alberta.

I will be working most of the weekend but will pause to praise the resurrection of Jesus Christ! He makes all possible!

Nothing, but watching it sit in the garage, as I leave and come from work. Shift work 365 where weekends and holidays mean nothing. My weekend this week starts on tuesday.

Default No Front Plate Cover

I spent all my money getting my Vette completely repainted these last two weeks. But I needed to give my front plate a new look. Just got finished.

The Old Look.

The New and Improved. (I can live with this now until I can get a New front plate cover that belongs there) I wondered what I could do with the extra paint I had left. After all, it was a little over $300.00 for Nassua Blue Metalic and Clear coat. Here is a shot of the complete car.

Just bought my 98 roadster with 32k on it! So it will be a "getting to know you" weekend. Super pumped.
