On the way back I stopped by We Gone's place and let me tell you Steve and his family are first rate people, super-nice folks and he lives in paradise. What a beautiful place to be. I got to see "Old Blue" and hear that Haibeck monster run...WOW. I feel my bank account twitching already. Did I mention Steve is a really nice guy? He surprised me with a wonderful gift, and I couldn't wait to put it on the car. Thanks Steve! It's great to be daily driving a ZR-1 again!

Next step, big time cleanup. Wow my car is a mess.

I like that gift. Where can I buy a front tag like that? I've never seen one.

Great lookin car.

Mark,

Was great to see ya today, glad the beast is running good. The tag looks great on your ZR-1. as always let me know if I can help.

Thanks Steve, really enjoyed stopping by there. Made a great rest stop.

That first pic is at my mother's place, where I picked up the car. The trip home was very smooth, the car ran perfectly averaged just over 25mpg for the 240 mile drive. Pretty good considering about a third of that was south GA back roads.

If you don't mind sharing.

Where can I get a front ZR-1 tag like that?

Thanks Scott, I hadn't seen one in a long time and I wasn't sure where to get one. I like it a lot. This one is painted black, with a heavy metalflake in the letters, really looks great in the sun.

That looks much better.

Mark, get some "Mothers Back to Black" molding treatment and a tooth bush and your Rub strip will look new again at least for a few months, take care not to get it on your paint it may streak.

LOL I took those pics before I used the Mothers, but yes I'm a big fan of the stuff. Not to worry it looks even better now.
