Have you had other trouble with your C7?

The only trouble I have had is with cracked and bent wheels. I cracked the OEM wheels. I replaced them with a set of rotary forged aftermarket wheels. I cracked and bent those within eleven months. I finally coughed up the cash and bought a set of fully forged wheels.

No issues, but I've only had it a week. The previous owner may have had an issue with cracked wheels as this has aftermarket Z06 style wheels on it.

What kind of sammich?

Two large storage sheds take awhile to paint by hand, using enamel paint.
Shipping containers needing some rust ground down, power washed amd painted. One side to do all the work probably 4 hrs work easy. With roofs being down I'll have 30 hrs in work easy. Don't paint when they're exposed to sun as paint dries too quick plus it sucks.

Back and joints are having none of it today so sending son out to finish some of it up, will just be door jambs and misc to do then probably hr maybe two.
Next time they'll get sprayed after any minor areas treated so won't suck so bad.

Turkey club would be nice with a nice slice of pickle thanks.

I forgot you just bought it and I forgot what model you bought. I am certain you will enjoy owning it. I know I enjoy mine.

Painting does take sometime to do it right. I painted my entire house with a brush. It took several weekends. But it was done right. I agree about paint drying to quick in the sun. Especially on metal.

It sounds like you need to take the day off, drink a few cold beers, and enjoy a turkey sammich.

Got a nice new sticker on the MG now.

Good thing I did a light check before heading out. I had a burned out turn signal on the right front. I know I've got a couple spare bulbs, but damned if I can find them.

Sooo, I picked up a 2 pack of 1157s at Auto Zone, popped the fresh bulb in and went to get inspected.

By now I'm sure the extra bulb has wandered off and is hiding out with the other ones I have.

My father always said that there was a hole around our house that swallowed up tools. I think I inherited the same trait, work on something and set a tool down and it grows legs and disappears for a while. The pain of getting old.

Whoever finds that hole will be up to their asses in 10mm sockets.

We had dog when I was a kid that stole tools, anything with a plastic handle was fair game. Luckily he didn't bury most of them just hid them in his dog house.

The backspacing is wrong on the aftermarket wheels, and they protrude from the fenders. I think this is why the fenders were damaged on the transporter while it was being delivered to me.
