I know it's winter Chris but thought you would be rolling 200K by now. Keep it going, I'm stuck at 6290 until this damn snow leaves. LOL. Take care and have a continued safe trip. Save the Wave:

You drove right by some of us in the Daytona area. PM if you're heading back by, and I'll pass on my contact info, and will give you some goodies from our plant.

Hey Chris, another question for ya, what is your typical oil temps with your GS setup? I'm thinking that vette is a dry sump MN6, correct?

Sorry to miss you this trip at the Towers in Davie, some how when you show up Callaway's come out of the garages.
Maybe next trip, and we can say hello.

Hey Chris,

what brand of fluids do you use when performing regular maintenance? Curious to know if you use GM fluids or aftermarket such as Amsoil, Etc.
