Default Beautiful Day!

Close to 80, sunny with a nice breeze. Just got back from the first ride of the season in the Chevelle. My neighbor has been coming over since last fall talking about Chevelle's. He wants a 70 LS6, still looking, so I took him for a ride. Offered to let him drive but he didn't want to. We just went for a little cruise, stopped at the store to pick up a few things then back home. I did leave a few stripes on the road in front of his house after I dropped him off, a little incentive for him to find a Chevelle to buy.

Nice to get it back on road. Ran good, hasn't been started since last October but fired up on the second crank. Come on summer, I'm ready.

I ended up taking mine out today as well, ran out of gas in front of the house. I guess I know when it says empty in means empty. Not fun putting gas in these things. It ran fine after $40 in fresh gas.

Sounds like a fun day. Just rain around here again today. It was nice yesterday and made 60 for the second time this year.

We drove the vert some yesterday but today we had to go buy 2 doors for the 72 truck on the other end of the state from us. Glad to hear some of you got your cars out.
