Any New Year (Corvette) Resolutions?
I plan on using the 74 Convertible, and the 98 Pace Car the same amount of time. I also want to redo the whole radio setup in the 74. What do you guys have planned in 2013?

I might be selling my Vette. 
I'm having a hard time justfying keeping when I don't drive it. Last year I drove it about 1000 miles. I paid a little over $1 a day in insurance. It's a shame. Big tug of war going on in my head.

Going to try to get bigger calipers for the back brakes, just like the front ones. And paint them red, all around. The car is black. And at the same time put on drilled rotors without the slots. Happy holidays.

Yeah, quit spending so much money on the car. (Like that will be a resolution I will keep. 
) Do hope to drive the car a lot more this next year.

OK, I'll play.
OK, Here is mine.......
Last March I bought a 1972 Camaro with a Big Block and it has been taking most of my time and I have been neglecting the Vette, I use to wash the Vette every week, Now it is maybe once every 3 weeks. (Shame on me).
I have to say I really do enjoy working on the Camaro though.
So my NYR is to not neglect the Vette.
Merry Christmas.

I have been collecting "goodies" to put on the vette since early last year, full stainless hose kit for engine bay, HID headlights, LG GT2 coil overs, C6Z06 brakes, Hotchkis Sway Bars, TSW Nurburgring's, and a couple of other items, Have to play in the gagrage before Spring has sprung!!

I pretty much completed all of my planned mods earlier in 2012, so for 2013 and beyond, I just plan to drive it and enjoy it! 
I'm also going to start saving my extra pennies for the "Z06 Stable Mate" fund. I'm hoping the C7 blows me away so that I have another Corvette goal.
For 2013, my focus will be on purchasing a new daily business driver and give my Acura TLS to my 17 year old daughter. I'm eyeballing this bad boy...
