Default Happy Thanksgiving

Well I know this thread probably won't go anywhere but hopefully most of the old gang still checks in once in a while.

We had a great Thanksgiving with family, food and fun. And we can't cure the worlds hunger issues anytime soon but we can be thankful for what we have.

So Happy Thanksgiving to the posse and everyone at VB-C4.

Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving...we sure did!

And I never realized how much I'd miss you misfits until y'all all quit posting..
Someone needs to spark something off to get everyone posting again. I haven't heard from Sweetsie in forver, and the Dog rarely stumbles in.....

The dog went rogue and sold his vette, and I think sweets is stuck in a messican jail.

We had a quiet thanksgiving just me the missus and the kid. We didn't feel like a turkey so I baked chicken breasts, but all the usual sides...stuffing, corn bread, corn, sweet potato, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie...

Took the C4 for a ride yesterday...went to the AACA auto museum in Hershey PA today...pretty good long weekend

Happy belated Thanksgiving to all you miscreants

picture a ROFLMAO here. I can't get the smileys to appear anymore...

My heap is in bed all wrapped up on the kwiklift for her winter snooze.

I hate the random wonderful weather days lately that would be perfect for a C4 drive but it's just too damned much work getting her ready.

In typical C4 fashion, my heap is broke- again. I swear I'm gonna sell it- it I can keep it running long enough.
And talk about a glutton for punishment- I'm finagling finances to see about acquiring another C4...this one is a LT4 car, though, so probably a little more reliable. Maybe. I hope.

Puzzy. I drive mine all year in any weather. It only sleeps when there's salt on the roads.

Tequila? Yeah, ok...we won't ask how young that Mexican girl was or if your cellmate will write.

Well, Well, look who the 'cat' drug in,,,,,wait can you do that? You know that if you go south every time you get a flurry you will be living there about 50 weeks of the year.

It's like biting into a jalapeno. You know as soon as you did it it was a mistake yet you have an irresistible desire to do it again.

Well, good luck if you manage to acquire a new one and post up pics.

And just like a jalapeno- it always burns your as....well, anyway.
And trust me, if I score this one I'll be a photo ho....there'll be pics everywhere. It's number 2 on my bucket list cars, after only a Grandsport. Even though it's not really that special.

Bobby, The LT4 is a sweet ride.. I was told by a couple of guys at Carlisle that should know what they're talking about, that the LT4 actually had more HP then it was advertised with, they said GM did this because they didn't want it to compete with the ZR1 for sales... ....WW

I'd believe that. This one pulls like a freight train. It belongs to a good friend, he's offered to sell it to me for the last couple of years. I'm finally beginning to get to a financial postition that it may be doable...if the wife doesn't put the kabosh on it.
