at least my C4 to C5 caliper adapters came in- looks like I'm gonna finish that now. The rest of the car is working great now, too bad I can't drive it in this weather.

funny, that didnt bother me but, the rain while I'm at home really screws me up. I got all parts in already and I just refuse to even look in there.

...too cold, its 50 F. Yes sweet, I know but, we dont do the tank top thing at 50F

It was a nice day until 3pm. Before then at work, I carpool with a fellow worker who lives only 2 miles from my house. It was his turn to drive. At 11:20 he calls me saying he wants to go home because he's been going to the bathroom every 15 minutes and does not feel good. Since it was almost lunch time, I went back to his place, and then I drove back to mine to exchange vehicles from the truck to the vette.

Could not believe how beautiful it was driving back to work. Temps almost 70°F. I get back to work at 1:30pm just in time for 2 meetings. Last one ends at 3pm. I decide to pack it up for the week, and attend my daughter's practice swim meet. I walk outside and its raining with a 20 degree temperature drop from noon.

I never drove the vette in the rain before, and it was very different experience. Had to be careful that the back end did not come around. I'm sure my tires are not rain type tires. Did not really enjoy the experience like when the pavement is hot.
