That was Flips car.

It was.

When Chief decided Chris should drive it, I think he said it was either his or Flip's first car. Still not sure if Chief or Chris actually owns it now

Probably not a true hot-rod in the eyes of a real hot-rodder, but I consider it one. 2002 Corvette Z06. This photo was taken last month at Brown County State Park.

I actually like the C-5's much more than the star wars pieced they are selling now. The new drive trains are insane but the styling sucks.

If you're o.k. paying 1350 for a core, you "might" get lucky and be able to rebuild it. Otherwise pass

Gonna drive the Venti tomorrow morning to breakfast. Forecast says like 20 degrees and snow. Should be fun. What’s the over/under on how long it will take to get it started?
