Desertdawg Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Damn Brian. You’re supposed to take a few small steps up the ladder. Like 84 - 89 - 93 - 05. Not just jump them all from the 84 to a 12. sweet ride dood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

84vette Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 I wish it wasn't a 2-4 week delivery time frame. I could have really put it to the test today on my work commute to Flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is quite the wait. What kind of 5th wheel are you getting? I've been working towards getting a Corvette again for the last 5 years. So a few more weeks really is nothing. (When I think back on how I was homeless for 15 months, February of 2020 to June of 2021 just so I could move back to AZ and eventually buy another Corvette... I realize that isn't normal. There really is something wrong with me. 🤣) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84vette Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 Thanks everyone for the congratulations. I wasn't planning on getting a Callaway. My biggest concern is reliability. I am not sure how much effect the supercharger has on reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 We thought you bought the callaway for racing. As a daily driver you can expect to be doing head gaskets at least every 5000 miles. The rest of the problems can be fixed when pull the motor out for the yearly cycle. J/K : I ordered a Jayco Pinnacle 36 footer. It only took 40 years to get here.

84vette Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 I'm getting the garage ready for the Vette and no longer have room for my Honda GoldWing. Do I keep it and store it outside now? Or do I post it on Craigslist and try to sell it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
