Winding down the car season here....always a sad time of the year, but the weather has been OK so trying to enjoy some of the cars as much as possible.
Few updates
Sold the Corvette - off to Ottawa. It was fun to have around for the summer, and I'd love to have a nice C4 in the permanent stable someday, but I am maxed out on parking, and this car just wasn't 'special' enough to keep around. Fun car though, and I already miss it. Has a way of making you feel like an 80's rockstar jut getting into it.
Took the Firebird (and family) to Oblivion a few weeks ago and had a blast....Great to see a lot of familiar faces. It was a great venue, only about 10 minutes from home, and they had stuff to keep the kids happy....a playground, hula hoops (Mrs.Firm was more into that than the kid), candy shop, 90's style arcade setup, etc. We brought a second car anticipating that the wife and kid would want to leave early, but everyone was enjoying themselves so much that 4:00 came quickly.
If I'd have known I would've brought the Camaro too...but oh well. I think this was the first time ever that the Firebird has been in a 'show'...felt a little weird as it was only a couple years ago that we were commuting in it - year round.
At the last minute I threw Firm Jr's Corvette into the truck and brought it....glad I did, he loved having it at the show and it got lots of smiles.
Lotta people even got dressed up for the event, including Mrs.Firm and the kid
For less exciting stuff...I got the Camaro and the Firebird both stored for winter already, just needed them out of my way. Rotated the tires and on the Escalade (way over due) and got an alignment done on the DTS (at TheHires' shop) so my 'eyeball' front end alignment from replacing the struts last year doesn't ruin the new tires.
Lastly, I washed the Sonoma to get the season's worth of dust off of it and gave it a quick wax. Another few weeks and I'll tuck this one away too.
