    Biography
    63 yr.old Re-tired but not Retreaded Carpenter. Married,father of three, two dauhters and a thirteen yr. old son. This fall my wife had said to me, " Bob you have wanted to own a Corvette all your life, you should go out and buy one, life is too short not to enjoy it". My wife is the best thing that has ever happened to me, I wish she could say the same of me. We live in the Chicagoland area where the roads are long, stright, and flat, that is why we love to get out on the road whenever we can.

    They are in Joliet, west of the Nascar track. Check out the Autobahn Country Club website. If you think you might like to go sometime, let me know and I will contact one of the members to get you in. It is a blast. Dave

    Bob, the meaning behind the playground pic is 'my big toy in front of a big toy.' My rotors are Baer Decelarotors (zinc plated by Baer, and then VHT clear coated by me), the pads are Hawks, and I ground and sanded the calipers smooth before coating with VHT primer, VHT Fire Red Metallic, Monterey Red Metallic basecoat, Monterey Red Tintcoat, and finally VHT clearcoat. In 2006 the F55 suspension came with the base rotors. On my previous ride (98 Z28) i had performed a similar upgrade, so the vette was deserving as well. Not sure what to tell you about your wheel hop. Vettes, even with IRS, are notoriously bad for stepping out on mid-corner bumps. The F55 does it as well.

    Spring, I can't wait. This winter has been brutal. Going through major withdrawl...
