Sure, start getting together for cruises again after I move off to Huntsville... :jester:

I would like to go if I can. Tough to set aside the time right now, though, between getting the house ready to sell and driving back and forth between Odenville and Huntsville.

Went on a little 950 mile road trip Thursday and Friday, hit the "Tail of the Dragon" Friday. I had a blast...the weather was perfect!! here is a pic:

I dropped the Vette on stock bolts a few days before so now it sits about 3/4 inch lower

Looks like the leaves are falling!!! I'll be up there in 2 weeks...but I don't think I will rock "the dragon' with the F250.


Some people have all the fun....Eric!!

GM LS7 engines have a valve guide wear/broken exhaust valve issue in OEM form.

My Corvette started exhibiting some of the signs (ticking sounds from the heads, blue smoke on startup, etc) knowing that I cant afford to replace a $15,000 engine if I dropped a valve, so I decided to take my Vette up to Vengeance Racing in Cumming, GA this past Friday for Vengeance Racing LS7 Cylinder Head Upgrade. they typically can hand you the Vette back in 24 hours, but I wouldnt be able to get back up there that quick due to work and other stuff. I will be picking the Vette back up on Wednesday the 18th

Nahhh, trying to keep this Vette as stock as possible.

Cant really afford to even be doing this right now, going through a divorce and Christmas...too much stuff right now.

Vengeance did cut me a hell of a deal, so much so that it really wasnt worth me doing this myself..LOL

If it wasnt for my step dad fronting me the $$ I couldnt even be doing this.
