That's the copy George made with permission. But I'm almost 100% sure the original and the original accordion were made by Mark Coplan.

Yep! Dat be da one!

Speaking of Brett, you won't believe what he's created with the proceeds!!! But, you'll have to ask him what HIS winter project is/was! OMG...it is incredible!!!

Got the Z out for her first run since the glaciers receded enough to clear the garage area. She didn't miss a beat and said "hello" to anyone listening from a mile or so! Took her to a local watering hole that makes the best burgers anywhere, and when I came out she had drawn a crowd of locals trying to guess what year it was. "Is it new?" (I love that one. And, when I tell them it is a 90 they are astonished, every time!)

Informed the insurance company that I will be "moving" the ZR out of the garage today for a few hours. Ya know, just so I can heat up the tires a bit and get them back to round.

Take her out, Mr. Savik.

Nice day. 50F+. Ran well w no issues. Waiting at a light to get on On-Ramp when a '14 5.0 pulls up next to me. Sounded healthy. Once we got to the on ramp merge ( I was behind him) hammered it. I went left lane he went right Reeled him in. I also smelled rubber. Tires cold. Guy gave me a thumbs up acknowledgement. I complimented him on his exhaust sounding really nice.

Opened the door on my car, the handle worked great. Sat in the seat next and it supported my butt cheeks perfectly. Put the key in the ignition and it turned very smoothly while the engine fired up and settled to a silky smooth idle. The dash lights shined perfectly bright. I closed the door and the latch gave out the perfect thud sound. The dash needles gave the absolute perfect indications. The weather outside is 62.8 degrees, 52.1 % humidity, the barometric pressure was 29.92 inches of mercury, the sun hit the paint on my hood in just the perfect way. I was able to back out into the driveway 57.1 feet because I gave it a good wash with my garden hose at 32 psi of pressure. My BP was 120 over 80, breathing 21 breaths per minute. But hell if I am going to drive it just yet with that riot going on in my neighborhood.

Come on guys, this has to be the most ridiculous post ever. You all sound like you just got let out of the closet for the first time in 5 months.

Some people just don't understand the anxiety of looking at our cars trapped in the garage for months on end.
