Daily mine. So that's every day for me and the lucky ones that get to enjoy my car sitting in the parking lot. But also, that's the observed federal holiday. So, I won't be driving it (to work) that day..

Congrats on the retirement!

I retired at the end of 2013, never looked back on a 41 year career, and I'm sometimes amazed at how little I think of 'all that'!
Looking forward, only !!!

I guess I could drive it out of the driveway and back in since I'm working from home.

I work nights and I’ll be heading home Friday morning. Will I have the Vette? No, only because the AC decided to quit last weekend and I live in the Phoenix area. That adds up to HOT, even at night.


Update: I had the AC recharged so it’s blowing cold again. Seems I have a leak so I’ll be driving it to lunch in hopes I can find some dye leaking after I use it for a little bit.

Maybe the new boss will have some “jobs” for you to do in the Vette. Remember, it’s the light sour cream, not the full fat kind😜

Enjoy your retirement. Cheers to that!

Surely you're accustomed to the heat by now.

That'll actually be one of the few days I WON'T drive mine to work, since I have the day off. Now, I might be driving it out to the nearby campground to hang out with my parents.

Despite the impending rain, took a drive with my friend and his C3. Boring video but beats working!

Happy Independence Day to Corvette Nation!

Drove mine to work and got the typical "must be nice" from all the guys. My reply was "sure is"

Well I guess I screwed up. I was walking out to the garage this morning to take the corvette, and thought: “meh, I’ll take the RX7 to work today.”

First time I’ve driven that car to work in 6 months and I pick today hahaha
