    I just finished up in the garage ending with 3 coats of rainX on the BigRed's windshield.

    I had a wiper problem a couple of 3 years or so ago and I cant remember if I ever fixed anything :Do No:


    whats the nominal effective velocity of rainX without wipers again ? :3gears:

    Free Riviera Sounded like a good deal

    Yards, I'm going to try to stop by at some point today. I need an injection of Buick Enthusiasm! I've got a couple of minor projects going that will prevent me from bringing the Riv (I'm one of those idiots who can turn a 3 hour job into a 3 month job... ), but I still get all warm and fuzzy inside about last year's picnic... it's hard to stay away!

    The rain JUST grazed past to the North of us.
    Looks like the rest of the day should be a good one!

    Sean it was great meeting you. Just wish you could have hung longer, I turned around and your were gone.

    Had a blast as usual. I had Larry yell at me for not having my PCV valve hooked up. So I was blowing oil out goin down the highway at speed!! But with the PCV hooked up it seemed to stop smoking!!BONUS!!!!!!!


    Jeff hope you had a great 50th. Happy Birthday and look forward to next years.

    Hope I messed your driveway up though!!!!!!


    And on a last note, Any time you take your car out on a day trip and you drive it home as well is a great day in my book.

    Thanks Yard's, always appreciate your hospitality. And your wife is awsome too.

    That was a GREAT party, what a way to kick it off for the summer.. It was good to speak with some of the folks on this board....and very nice cars. The band was awesome too, I really enjoyed that! Duane preinspected my car for the PPG concourse event and it didn't do too bad.. Nick did a heck of a job on Ken's GSX... What a beauty.. I got to see the burnout contest at the end of the night and it was very cool.. That BIG RED car can smoke em! I have some video I took from my phone and have to figure out how to post it. The weather held out too which made it nice..

    Thanks for the invite Yardley!

    Well at one point I was up in the 4000 to 4400 range. :Brow: But it was only a few minutes. Runs smooth higher up. I think my rear is making a vibration at around 3500 3600!!! Making me mental!!:rant: I will have to put it in the air and spin it up and see if I can see anything shaking.

    I think I need to change rearend Alan. SHUT UP!!! I will have to do something. I think it will be breaking with the slicks.:af:

    Your Big Red is one mean looking growling machine!!!! Gotta love the stepkids!!!!
