Right now the Blue Beast is at 21st Century Muscle Cars in Texas having the crank bearings (especially the thrust bearing!) replaced and the engine "freshened".

However, the prospect of not driving a 'Vette for the remainder of the summer and all of the fall caused me to buy another toy - a 2011 GS convertible with a Callaway SC606 package and a few other toys.
