Re: '04 GTO

I have one guy interested in the Goat. I should know how serious he is by Wednesday. When the Goat sells, I have my eye on an '07 TB SS 2wd with 33K miles. It's tough to sit here and wait for things to happen.

Re: '04 GTO

After the goat is gone, we will have the Trailblazer (Ruby) and Randi's Camry (no name). The plan, as authorized by Randi, is to sell the goat and Ruby and get a TB SS in place of both. We'll see how things work out in due time.

Re: Octane Boosters

No worries, my friend. Just let us know how it works out for you. :) Detonation is something we don't need in that beautiful Vette.

Re: Octane Boosters

With all due respect, why not just buy a can, follow the directions and see what it does? It seems that you have a great test situation.

Re: 1966 Corvette project, will I finish before I die?

What a great story and a great ending!! I feel like I was there in the cockpit with you on that first drive. I believe we all have experienced that first drive feeling and your photos and videos bring it all back. Thanks for having us along.

I thought you guys might like to see what Ol' Blue looks like now at the hands of it's new owner.
He sent me these to photos yesterday.

Re: 1966 Corvette project, will I finish before I die?

I know this thread is supposed to be about the Vette, but the 409 seems to be upstaging it as far as my interest is concerned. I think we need a thread for the 409, too. I hope you don't die before you get to it Dick. :wink:

[quote="johnsons63"]Need opinions on truck tires... I need to buy 4 tires for my 2005 Chevy Trailblazer. I don't plan on buying top of the line tires, although I don't know what those would be. I am after a 60,000 to 70,000 mile tire that is quiet. Maybe that is top of the line. Anybody ha...

Keep those updates coming, oldvettedad. Pictures, too! We love stories and pictures, but don't wear yourself out. I do have some advice for you, though. Stay away from the big words. I had to look up "cathartic". Welcome to TireSmoke. :D

Ah, yes, jackstands. :oops: That well known and well used technique. I've used it myself. I can't even explain how that never occurred to me. A senior moment?? Alzheimer's??
