2020 Chevrolet Corvette
1989 Ford Mustang
Yesterday's weather forecast wasn't looking great but I woke up early anyway and it looked better so I decided to go for a drive. Definitely made the right decision.
For anyone who wants the route you can find it below. Basically its the entirety of NY-97 into NY-30 and then into NY-28.
Only fitting for it to roll over on a trip to meet up with other oppos.
@barnie I look at car ownership with a simple premise. Drive them, get them dirty, rinse and then repeat. I am not saving my car for the next guy. I bought the whole speedometer and I am going to use the whole speedometer. Doesn't matter if its rain, snow or shine. As long as the keys are in my hand that corvette is going to be driven.
7012 miles in and I couldn't be happier with it. Still interested why they recommend the first one at 7500. Going on another drive this weekend so I am getting it taken care of early. Also planning out a couple of my first mods for the car. At the top of the list are some new rims I think I might get a set of HRE FF11s but am torn between a dark or light finish. The car just produces brake dust like crazy so I might go darker. Lighter colors really pop with the red though...
Pricing dropped for Procharger's kit too so I am looking forward to that much further down the line.
@ranwhenparked I regularly pick up firewood and go to home depot and lowes. You want to see horror?
Went on a pretty long road trip combining a few of my most favorite roads.
NY Route 97 (Port Jervis to Hancock)
NY Route 17 to NY Route 30 to NY Route 28 (Hancock to West Hurley)
Also just ticked over 6000 miles on the odometer, nearly time for the first oil change.
Car was absolutely filthy and needed to be cleaned up for Easter. It was the first time I detailed the engine bay which was easier to clean than I thought it was going to be.

Got new rims on the corvette today.
This always goes through my head when I get new shoes or rims.
@facw go ahead and do it, its free and the cops can't stop you.
@partypooper2012 that is typically what is used for externally insulating ductwork. It helps with sealing and maintaining the R-values.
@partypooper2012 your setpoints and mechanical equipment would need to be doing something crazy for you to really worry about condensation. Rule of thumb is anywhere a supply duct is in an unconditioned space or outdoors it is insulated.
@turbineguy-nom-de-zoom ever been on the streets at 3~4am? You can full send those SUVs on the shitty roads. Its also one of the only ways to get some breathing space on the packed streets during rush hour. Comfy seats and legroom is a precious commodity.
@racinbob sandy gave my company a lot of work as most of the buildings had generators in the basements or sub basements. After the storm we had a backlog or redesigning tons of infrastructure to move it up to the 2nd floor. Remnants of sandy still exist in many of the buildings there.

@jordan the fact that you did most of the trolling in "costume" just puts it over the top for me. An absolute master class.
@wpgmiata MEP engineers scream internally
That is absolutely laughable though I have unfortunately seen worse in my travels.
@mark-tucker I HATE PROCORE! You are preaching to the choir here.
