Unlike the Captain; My goal was to help.
Erik found some of what I said to be critical or condescending.
Both of those were the farthest from my intentions.
However, my late mother used to say that " The road to hell is indeed paved with good intentions".
Failure to communicate is never entirely the fault of the listener.
George Bernard Shaw, the famous Irish playwright, said: "The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place."
Kindly accept my apology for the misunderstanding.
And that extends to members reading as well.
I will return to helping all as best that I can, and be more careful in my tone.
Erik, Enjoy that ZR-1!
I hope that you had a nice drive yesterday as you had planned.
About time I pull mine out again for some needed "ZR-1 Therapy".

Hi Marty.
The offer I made in my PM still stands. I'll happily give you a call and have what I'm sure will be a wonderful chat.
Let me up it a bit. Once this Covid thing passes, let's get together for a bite sometime. I'm buying. You pick the joint.
I certainly can't say that I brought the best of myself to these posts, nor did I give you the benefit of the doubt.
And yes, I had a wonderful drive. I've done more exploring of back roads since I got the ZR-1 back then I did in the last 6 months in my Mustang. The Corvette is just a thrilling drive in a way that the new Mustang just can't match, even if on paper, it does everything better.
