I can't wait for this show! I'm glad that there's an active community of enthusiasts for these cars nearby I have had ALL types of sports cars, but they don't always have a following that's worth being a part of. I am a genuine enthusiast I do all my own work, have access to an amazing shop, and have built several cars for people as a side hustle (racing in vintage roadster class, and circle track primarily), but I also used to build diesel dragsters as an NHRDA mechanic, for an outfit up here where I live, so you can say I like my mechanical trinkets as well, all types

And then there's Phil, but more on that later....I don't wanna scare you off.
Hey, c'mon. I'm working out now and should be pretty buff by the first of the month. Hopefully the cast on my left leg will come off by then. (I fell off the stationary bike. Pushed actually)

Maybe I'll put the training wheels back on my Truimph and ride that down.

Then you will love this event. It's every Saturday from 9 am to 11 from April 5th on as long as the forecast for rain is less than 30%. On nice days 200 cars can show up. It not a competitive show. Just a bunch of guys, (and gals), who like cars. Mostly high performance cars with some classics mixed in. Let's hope for a bright sunny day on April 5th.

Wow! Your in for a treat if you show up a few times, Brads is 1 of 7 made from Pratt & Miller. (Street legal GT1 basically with killer interior) I pass other Vettes almost every day here in Sammamish/Issaquah..and at Work (Boeing Field) there are many...used year long too...

The car you love next best to the Vette? Oh, let me weigh the possibilities.

The Oscar Meyer Wienerwagon

The Seafair Pirates DUKW

A 1950 Nash Ambassador

A 1972 Datsun 510

The Batmobile

Fred's ZO6

The Budweiser Clydesdales wagon

The old Prison Farm bus that used to take you to work

A Crosley Ice Cream Truck that plays "Turkey in the Straw" from a single speaker

An antique Animal Control Crew truck. (naw not possible)

A bumper car left over from the World's Fair Fun Forest

Oh, surely not a hay truck

A Renault 5 "Clown Stuffing" car from the circus. I'm getting warm huh?

Jeez, what could it be? You didn't buy a surplus Russian tank did you?

Okay, I give up, but anything I didn't mention may not be worth getting up early to come take a look...

Just sayin'

Ah, that's it! It's Walter White's Pontiac Aztek.

Isn't it?

Ya know, its really not that bad. Mine last year was a garage queen all Winter, but this year my M3 had cooling issues and a Son's Bimmer had a rear wheel bearing go...and he took almost 4 weeks getting it fixed. (did some bushings also) so I haven't even gotten a chance to work on the M3 yet. So been daily driving the Vette. Rain, I park it in the garage, let it sit for a hour or two, then take a 100% cotton towel to it, drying it and cleaning any debris from the lowers and the back. Fishing up with a quality quick detailer and microfibers. I keep it well waxed, makes clean up easier. I detail it every night. Takes 15-30 mins at most.

But, I can understand not wanting to daily the C6RS!

So you've trapped Poodle Girl in your garage?

Well, this isn't the first time she's been found naked in someone's garage....just keep the dogs away from her if you value them.....this can't end well....

If Walter's involved, it may very well have been seen on TV. Either "Cops" or "Wildest Police Chases"

I have an oil leak somewhere, but if it's fixed or I just don't care... I'll be out
