Fri, 16 Jul 2010 04:35:51 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Here's a video clip showing the build process for the LS9 Corvette engine. It seems that for an extra $5,800 you can go to Detroit and build your own engine! How cool would that be? http://www.sunsetvette.com/2010/07/15/build-your-own-engine-for-5800/ Just rolled over that milestone (heh, pun) this past weekend. I got my car in the fall of 2000 so it's over ten years old. I've replaced both headlight actuator motors but other than that have not had any major mechanical issues. And it's still a blast to drive. 8-) http://www.sunsetvette.com/2010/05/26/40000-miles/ No Corvettes this time, just a few other pictures I took at the show.

The show was short on exotics and/or prototype cars, which was disappointing. But they did have a beautiful selection of Corvettes on display, including a coupe and convertable Grand Sport ... http://www.sunsetvette.com/2010/03/07/dallas-auto-show-pictures/ I like to shop at discount book and record (cd) shops. Over the years I have found some interesting things. This past week, for example, I found a compact disc from Miranda Lambert that I didn't recognize. She has three national releases that I already have, but this one was ... http://www.sunsetvette.com/2010/02/28/never-know-what-you-might-find-2/ A few days ago I had a quandary... who to feel the most sorry for? Was it the idiot in the wrong lane who realized nearly at the last moment and put on their turn signal to move over a lane? Or was it the jerk in the correct lane that purposefully ... http://www.sunsetvette.com/2010/02/18/who-is-worse/ My cub scout den went to visit our local police office and saw this: I especially like the sticker on the back: Donated by your local drug dealer :lol: And yes, it is a ZR-1. Here's a closer shot from the back of the car. http://www.sunsetvette.com/2010/02/05/carrollton-police-zr1/ Well, that was interesting. It was a real shame that Colt got knocked out of the game so quickly. I would have liked to see him have the chance to end his career with an amazing championship game. Instead I got to watch Saban call conservative plays and yell at his ... http://www.sunsetvette.com/2010/01/08/championship-material/ Oh what might have been on a solid field... LSU managed to mismanage the clock yet again. When there is less than sixty seconds on the clock, you don't spend five seconds in formation before you start the play. One second is plenty. Yet that's what they managed to do on ... http://www.sunsetvette.com/2010/01/02/lsu-season-over/ LSU gets a decent bowl, although it would have been cool to have them come to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl. I might have tried to get tickets if that were the case. Penn State is certainly a worthy and intriguing opponent as well. Texas probably should have lost to Nebraska. ... http://www.sunsetvette.com/2009/12/09/bown-matchups/
