Good morning fellas. I just got this in the mail yesterday. Thanks again to everyone who pitched in to get me the gift card. With the gift card and a 15% off paypal coupon I got this for a steal! His jersey # is 9

Morning guys. All seems to be well here in Central Texas, let's hope it stays that way!

Where?

Austin. I've been here for a little over a year. Moved from CA for a job.

Cool, my brother is at UT as a researcher

Chas, I am shocked they look like they were bought from the back of a Mad Magazine

Steve, they are fun but a pain in the Arse at times.

What part of Austin do you live in. I lived most of my life in the suburbs.

Do tell, I want to know as much of what I'm getting into as I can before the fact.

Good morning guys. I hope everyone's day is off to a great start.

Good morning, all. Love that Pence, Trev.
I was almost on the lookout for you for more - the local shop I help out at on Saturdays was contacted about buying a collection, and the owner went to look at it. He said there was quite a few 04 EEE and SP cards, mostly crap, but there were Pences in there. Unfortunately, the guy inherited the cards from his father, and knows nothing except "My buddy told me I should get 10 grand for them", when, in actuality, he should have been thrilled to get 2000. So, I didn't get to spend the day going through them.

I hate Brett Favre. ESPN will be held hostage until October.

I hate Frank Viola - as a TV guy, not a pitcher. I'm not watching these Sox games in Toronto because of him.

Into my brick kiln classroom today, for more setup.

Steve, really mine is only a pain when I had to drive it everyday. The seats are old and the ride can be rough. I replaced all of the shocks/struts and the bushings in the front end (should have done that much sooner). The ones with rubber painted bumpers will crack, you will slightly tap something, or more likely someone will tap you and BAM spider web on the nose.
The forums are the best place to go when you buy one, http://www.corvetteforum.com/ and yes you should get one.

Yeah, see my problem is going to be that I'm not handy at all.

Try living in Wisconsin. The first 10 minutes of the news I watch was all Favre. I guess nothing more important was going on in the world yesterday. :?

Not at all, this has been one of the easiest cars I have ever worked on, a set of Craftman tools and the Chilton manual and you can do anything, pay someone to do the BS stuff, the shock/struts. I grew up with cars and can do anything but I dont have to now, I have people. Found this guy that loves to do that kind of work for me and charges me nothing, you will too.

Thanks Dave, http://s11.photobucket.com/albums/a184/rangercalfas/Corvette/

Oh, I couldn't even imagine that. Sorry for you there...

George - Is that a NC plate in the back window?

Steve - Are you going after that laundry tag?
