Project C4, 85 Corvette

[Steve85]

I've been commuting in it quite a bit recently. The Integra was in the shop for a week getting a new bumper from a deer hit and it's been so nice this week.

Up to 22MPG, not too bad for a mix of cruising, traffic, and anger management. I should pick up a few mpg with the tune just from getting the idle lowered. I sit in traffic at about 950rpm, way too high.

Need a new radio though. I've been using the phone or old CDs for tunes but I hate wearing ear pods while driving and old CDs are old. Most of the time I just leave the radio set to V8 Noises.

Oh yeah...driving around with messed up hood and bumper for now from this a couple months ago:

New hood emblem!



Exiting a parking lot, she decides she doesn't want to go out that way and starts backing up. I'm on the horn that she doesn't hear. She hits, decides it's a curb, and gets on the gas more and climbs up the hood.

Her fancy SUV is equipped with backup sensors and mirrors which are meaningless when ignored.

Even though it was on private property, I called the cops to make sure she would stick to her "OMG I'm so sorry" story. I could show this pic to 100 people and 75 would probably say I rear-ended her.



I wanted to get rid of the hood scoop since I no longer need the clearance and didn't really like it to begin with so I took the insurance money for a new bumper and went to Corvettes at Carlisle and picked up a perfect hood and bumper. They'll need paint but insurance was going to have cover that anyway.
