At least you're painting!
 
I found a right side when with Keith at a Carlisle show almost missed it think it was $50. Got lucky but then 100 was high on them. Tell you what Mopar parts almost tripled in the last two years.

I went to the corvette show with Mitch in Carlisle. Weird show no one but grey hairs walking around the swap area. Think Sat we were talking to some guy and mentioned it. He had it figured out. Said if your say 30 and have 150,000 for a car would you buy a old one and have to look for a mechanic and parts or just buy a new one and it has a ten-year warrantee!

Well.. i owned a C5 and it's one of my favorite cars i ever owned.. put in 4.10s with the 5 speed and that thing was a party... i bought a brand new c6 grandsport and i HATED that car... sold it with 2600 miles and ate 20k.. I actually kind of enjoy working on my car when i am not pissed at it :) I think i enjoy working on it more than even the thought of driving it.. which is odd.. i have no desire to hit the road yet..

I will say though... the c5/c6 vettes are sooo insanely easy to work on that it surprised me.. rear end/trans? pull in 40 mins alone on a garage floor..

We bought new appliances and will be getting them soon. Our kitchen was remodeled by the previous owners in 1984 and our appliances are barely limping along.
