The winter is mild enough here that I really don't worry about it. I can get the Vette out a few times each month to keep the battery charged and the fluids flowing.

Just put my winter wheels w/ snows back on - probably in late November (we had an amazingly mild/dry winter last year).

Window Valet will be on my Christmas List.
Short Throw Shifter too.
Maybe a wheel & tire upgrade.

I posted a link to a little website that I made the last time I "divorced" ;) my chassis and body in the DIY section. Its not very detailed though, so when I take it apart here again in the next few weeks, I will take lots of pics and make a step by step. Only takes 4-6 hrs witha lift to completely seperate the 2 and sure makes working on it ALOT easier. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

My car needs to get to the next level for performance. Im tired of the 535rwhp i have. :hehehe:

Getting a V3 SI Vortech kit made by A&A Corvettes out in Cali. 10# boost and i should be in the middle 700s to the wheels. The kit is lined up and ready to be bought, just waiting for a few other minor details to pan out.

so come spring, i'll be ready to whoop some major ***! I plan on going to the TX Mile in March, hoping to break the 200mph barrier. :sm_party: :burnout:
