Having fun in the great weather

The weather here has been great, but I've been so busy with work, and feeling like I've been dragging butt.  We've also been busy and preoccupied with my husband's recent hip replacement surgery a week and a half ago.  He's doing really well with the recovery, even though he can't get in the Vettes yet.  I haven't had the "new" 85 out for about 2 weeks now, so thought I'd take her for a spin this afternoon.  What a fun car to drive.  I was feeling a little "blah" before my drive, but afterwards, I felt great.  So much so that I went out to do some gardening and then I washed the Explorer.  My husband even commented on how much I perked up after the drive.  Yep, a fun drive in the Vette energized me and made me feel so much better.  I need to do that more often!  Hope you're all enjoying your cars, too.

That's how I felt today after I finally got to see how good a job on the trans the shop did....it was a nice ride with the targa off early this morning 

I'm so glad to hear that the tranny issue was sorted out so well and that you're enjoying your car.  Good deal!

It is so nice to come here and here some positive things being said. We all love to go for long rides in our cars, and enjoy the smile that each drive gives.

That is the best thing about my vette being my daily driver no matter what kind of day I'm having I know that I get to drive my vette soon. it is almost like a drug. love to drive it ! so enjoy when you can and keep it between the ditches.

driving your vette anytime perks you up. the only thing is is when and where you get out of it. as was said it is especially great when you take the top off and cruise. have only used the a/c in mine about 4 times only because it was raining. drive it as much as you can.

My 85 still has an issue that needs to be sorted.  Not a huge deal, just haven't gotten around to it yet.  It needs a new brake master cylinder.  It gets pretty spongy when sitting at lights, and that's why I don't take it out so much right now.  As soon as hubby is doing well enough to drive the Explorer, we're going to get the 85 over to our mechanic and have that done.  I have a feeling I'll be driving it much more frequently when I feel more comfortable with the brakes.  Right now, I don't like to take it out in heavier traffic, such as to and from work, because of it.  I do drive the 95 to work once or twice a week, though.  That car is an excellent runner - drives and sounds fantastic and feels really good.  But, I have to say that going for a fun ride rather than a traffic-filled drive during rush hour is a LOT more fun!  I haven't driven either with the targa off, though.  I need to do that.  I had a convertible (not a Vette) that I recently sold and do enjoy the wind in my hair.

Wow.....you WERE feelin good!!


Since I rarely drive either of the Corvettes anymore, any time behind the wheel of either one is a great day! I do get the same comfort when I'm on the Goldwing, which is pretty much every day....tho it ain't the same as cruizin the Corvette(s).....
Hope the hubby gets healed up quickly, with no complications, too!! Best wishes to him.

just a quick question laurie...did you try bleeding the brakes? may just have air in the lines and not need a master cylinder. just a thought.
