My car is a keeper, too. Thought about ordering the Hot Wheels edition back in 2018, but decided the package wasn't worth $5k and red is the fastest color anyway

Thank you. I’m finally about 80-85 percent back to speed in my right shoulder, so I’m ready to enjoy the car this Spring and Summer. Shifting through the gears every weekend, will be the last step of my physical therapy. lol

I'm with you, I've hurt my back, broke a bone in my foot and hurt my knee all in the last six months. I turned 60 in January and now the doctor tells me " you're doing good for someone your age"

That explains the last 6 months, but what about the previous 5 years? Are you worried about or get anxiety putting miles on it? Not driving it enough is worse than driving it some.

If it's any consolation, my entire family calls me out regularly about my detailing product arsenal for the "mistress that took over the garage" Oh, and when I told the opthalmologist a couple years ago how my eyes had begun to hurt from focusing too near, all he said was "welcome to your mid-40s", with a grin...

I didn't take it that way at all... I hope this summer things get back to normal and the wife and I can enjoy some car events and summer vacations.

LOL... What about the previous years? I enjoy the car when I can and I don't have any anxiety regarding driving, showing or when it’s just put away in the garage. I bought for a toy to drive when I can, I've never had a note on it so no anxiety regarding getting it paid off. From my years of owning Corvettes, I actually sat in on several NCRS seminars on restoring and storing cars so I'm aware of what to do and not to do.

FYI: The picture in my sig below is my car on display in the Corvette Museum at a national car show (I did drive it to the event) so it's seen some highway miles

After you have had a few hundred miles over break in period, we need to hear a comparison between the ZL1 and your old Mopar.

I'm at 1200 miles with my LT1, took it for a long cruise today and car ran and handled like a dream, don't know if it's the warm temps or what but feels like it gets better and comes together as a system the more miles you get. I've been pretty good but did gun it on the freeway this week on the way to work, going to start opening it up more next few hundred miles.

[FarmerFran]

I am doing my 1500 mile earl change tomorrow. Then going to terrorize the streets with the Shark.

Well, just drive around like an old man in a ZL1 convertible

2034 miles and I just changed the rear diff today
surprisingly low amount of burrs on the magnet.
here's a fun fact, both plugs have a magnet (identical part)

Yes, been doing my homework. How much fluid did you need? Looks like I need 2.25 qts -

Nope; just admiring you guys with your new ride as a spectator.
