Let's Go CRUZIN !!!

FOR SALE: As much as I love my Corvette, my wife says it's taking too much of my time and I am falling behind on my regular obligations. Regrettably, I must list the following FOR SALE - Lawnmower, Leaf Blower, Edger/ Trimmer, and Rake... First Come, First Served !!!

First Pic of 2023, 01/06

Another lovely day in sunny Florida and so, we went for a spin and found this stunning backdrop.

I'm 70 going on 35 when I'm driving my Vette

Bowling Green, KY

Sarasota, FL

It may be fast, BUT ...

If it doesn't sound good...What's the point ?

My new HighFlo Performance / Sweet Thunder Exhaust waiting to be installed (see new video below). It took me a while to find exactly what I wanted and trust me, this setup is awesome. https://highfloperformance.com/

MONOCHROME VETTE: In the photographic world, black and white is an art form of its own. Some would even say the best photographers work in monochrome. It’s a medium with a rich history and this B&W photo is a tribute to my favorite B&W photographer, the legendary Ansel Adams.

Corvette didn't always call Kentucky home, however, in 1953 the first 300 were built by hand in Flint, Michigan, just after General Motors unveiled the Corvette as a ""dream car"" in the Motorama show in New York's Waldorf Astoria hotel. The following year, production moved to St. Louis. In June of 1981, Corvette production transferred from St. Louis to Bowling Green, Kentucky. GM began production of the esteemed Corvette in Bowling Green in 1981, and the facility has remained the exclusive home of the Corvette for over 30 years. Known around the world as America's sports car, the Corvette exemplifies the definition of innovation.

An American legend, the Chevrolet Corvette is the world’s longest-running continuously produced passenger car, having been built in its various iterations since its humble beginnings in 1953. After a starring role in early 60s television drama Route 66, the Corvette became synonymous with freedom and adventure and became widely known as 'America’s Sports Car'. A genius but unofficial marketing move with NASA’s astronauts by a Florida based Chevrolet dealer, offering them “special” lease terms to be seen driving Corvettes, ensured that even America’s space heroes drove Corvettes.

Whilst American car makers faced very dark times during the 1970s and 80s, under pressure from European and Japanese imports as well as increasingly hard emissions and safety regulations, the Corvette was a rare shining light that kept the American dream going. Although similar cars like the Camaro were meeting their downfall, the Corvette braved the storm and emerged on the other side as an American icon.

The venerable C5 (1997-2004) was the first modern Corvette to challenge the world’s best sports cars on truly level ground, the first Corvette to take a class victory at Le Mans, and the last Corvette to feature those oh-so-cool hidden headlamps. But the fifth-gen Vette came very close to not existing at all. According to Russ McLean, platform manager for the model, General Motors management made the decision to “sunset” America’s most iconic sports car in the Nineties. McLean and a group of rebels ignored the decision and continued development of the Corvette, much of it off the books and on their own time.

Eventually, the big wigs came back around to the idea of building the C5. Celebrated as world-class upon its debut, it would go on to win everywhere from the SCCA Solo Nationals in Topeka to the Mulsanne straight in France. Now caught in that uncomfortable middle ground between new-car smell and classic-car kudos, the C5 is arguably the greatest performance bargain on the market. It can still cut the mustard on a road course, at the drag strip, or at a Saturday night cruise-in.

A proven performer and long-time staple under the hood of many General Motors vehicles, the LS1 350 is in most regards bullet-proof, and poses few headaches albeit the odd speeding ticket. Pictured here is my Corvette's LS1 V8 with Vararam VRB2 Ram Air Intake.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE: 03/22/2022 New ATI Harmonic Balancer installed. I thought about doing this job myself. However, thanks to YouTube, I decided it was too much of a job for me. I'm thankful I didn't try it on my own. It's a big job. (see Important Advice Video below if you own a C5 or C6)

***AWARD OF EXCELLENCE TROPHY WINNER*** Joey D's Car Show & Shine, Bradenton, FL 06/25/2022

AMERICAN ENGINEERING

For Corvette enthusiasts the world over, March 7, 1997, was a date that would be long remembered. After the 13-year production run of the C4, Chevrolet had declared this date as the day that the first all-new Corvette would be made available for sale to the public. Given the massive amount of fanfare that surrounded the arrival of the C5 Corvette, it was little wonder that there was such an overwhelming clamor for this amazing new variant of the legendary sports car.

By the way I like how you turned your 2000 Vette into a 1963 Split Window! It looks really sharp! Cheers!

[Reply to this comment]

ghpcnm on Apr 23, 2022 said:

LOL !!! It's definitely not a '63. Actually, I saw an aftermarket version of this mod and I decided to embellish it. I like the look, but more than that, I like that it makes it easier to tint that rear glass which is notoriously difficult. A lot of tinters won't even attempt it. This mod enables the tinter to apply the tint in two pieces without it showing up. BTW: Thanks for the compliment.

[Reply to this comment]

azmusclecar on Apr 29, 2022 said:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh HAH!!!!!!!!!!!! Dave has found the lost C5 split window........ call off the search........

I didn't even know they made this aftermarket piece.

I have been negotiating with an owner of a 1978 Pace Car Restomod........and one thing as you said,

I CANNOT find any one who will tint that back window. And considering it is fixed, and not on a hatch, imagine lying on your back for how long trying to get that tint to cooperate.

With a weak A/C and no tint, that Pace Car would not be a pleasant ride in the AZ summer.

Keep up with the surprises Dave......thanks. AZ

Good news seeing the Bowling Green Plant Tour opening again. I enjoyed my tour. I was through back in 95 and it was fun trying to pickup out the ZR1s on the line. The last year for those monsters.

And I miss living in Carlisle around this time of the year as I could ride my bike to the fairgrounds and spend hours roaming the acres of Corvettes. The Car Corral was always my favorite trying to score a bargain.

I'd even wait outside the gate hoping a could score a drop dead deal as the Corvettes left.

But that never happened. Sadly the event on Sunday was pretty much just a fraction of the whole show as owners and vendors packed up Saturday night and headed for home.

The Corvette Parade was always a sight to behold.

love bugs Dave?? Do you mean Volkswagons??

I had a yellow 77 El Camino and noticed how the yellow just attracted Lady Bugs. I was at a show and my car had a whole bunch of lady bugs on it when the judges came around.

I know cars attract ladies but I don't think this is the same thing. Take care during the upcoming Hurricane Season.

HURRICANE WARNING / Looks like we're gonna get hit with a big blow here in my neck of the woods on Wednesday, 09/28/2022. We recently moved from the Sarasota area to Weeki Wachee which happens to be at the center of Ian's projected landfall. I received a note from our insurance agent that our insurance company will reimburse us for travel expenses if my wife and I are in a mandatory evacuation zone. So far, that hasn't happened. We're praying that it doesn't come to that.

That's great Dave getting the insurance co to pay for travel expenses! I hope and pray you and your family will be all right with Ian coming up.

Prayers and best wishes for you and your families safety.

We were fortunate...very fortunate. We sold our home in Sarasota and moved to Weeki Wachee 6 weeks ago. Initially it appeared that the storm was headed right for us, but it turned eastward before it reached our location. We suffered absolutely no damage as our home is located on high ground. Literally tens of thousands were not so fortunate as we. SEE THE NEW VIDEO ABOVE.

That is incredible. That is like practically living in your car. But of course if you have to live in a car, why not make it a Corvette????

I looked at a C6Z06 with 154K on it and was a bit concerned. But then again it had a few owners.

This guy seems like he genuinely took care of all the maintenance which is a true testament to it's longevity.

Too bad he didn't keep going to make it to the MILLION MILE MARK!!

Dave I find it so funny that I used to sit with my youngest Son every afternoon at 4PM when I got home from work and we would watch MTV. I used to watch Twisted Sister and Kiss and on and on and tried to relate them to my era of Doo-Wop with the Four Tops and Motown and the likes. It's a cacophony of music in my head trying to relate to all the genres that have come and sadly gone.

I recall Chicago, and Three Dog Night and Steppenwolfe and on and on. I'm just glad they all don't play simultaneously in my head.

Believe it or not, now, I go for drives with NO MUSIC..as now I enjoy the tactile feedback from the car I'm driving.

The world is a noisy place, cluttered with everyone vying for your attention. I find a nice quiet cruise stimulating oddly finding a PEACE and a QUIET that I find more valuable than a 2000 Watt Unit vibrating the bolts out of the car.

And with this I bid you Peace my AT Brother.

When I was working out in my youth and I'd walk by some pretty ladies, I'd wink and they would say to me: WHAT A WAIST...........

Then I was told it's a double entoundre

For those that read this and don't speak French:

Double entendre A double entendre is a figure of speech or a particular way of wording that is devised to have a double meaning, of which one is typically obvious, whereas the other often conveys a message that would be too socially awkward, sexually suggestive, or offensive to state directly
