That could be a steal. Offer a grand and make it a project. Rebuilding a 2 stroke is a breeze.

Did they have the compression in the ad before you went or did they use your numbers? Kudos to them if they posted it initially.
The guy didn't have much info in the initial ad just that it wasn't running. He used my compression readings but didn't take my advice to list more detail about the package (i.e., Pwc cover, new battery, rebuilt carbs, up to date registration, new trailer tires and included fuel container). He also didn't drop his asking price. He offered to sell it too me for $1k after I did the compression check so if he still has it in a few days I will offer him a little less.

I don't mind rebuilding the top end but if it's something down in the block like the crank / crank bearings I just assume let someone else have all that fun and expense. It would be great if it's just a leaking head gasket but I'm never that lucky.

Taking a charter bus to squaw valley to do some snowboarding with my son. Got up at 4:15 to meet the bus. This is what I see right now and will for the next 3 to 4 hours.
Ronnie - did you sleep all the way home ? I was expecting to see some pictures from the day, Little Ronnie getting some air, Big Ronnie coming out of the trees, :winkingthumbsup"

I slept a little on the way but watched the movies they played on the way back. My son did get a lot of air at snow park and I fortunately didn't experience any major accidents but was also reluctant to go too fast or get to close to trees or drop offs. We intentionally left the go pros at home and only took a few pics with our iPhones. Here are a few.

Just a nice looking car with an appropriate personalized license plate. As I understand it all new Vettes (c7/generation 7) starting in 2014 are Sting Rays.

I believe there are other trim levels other than sting ray. But I may be the entry level. @AZDANSX230HO would know for sure.
You have the basic Corvette Stingray with different levels of options, then you have the Z06 which is the higher horsepower engine and it's a wide body car. GM will later come out with a ZR1 which they normally wait a few years and it typically has more horsepower than the Z06. All great cars!

Stopped to take a break while on a road trip and happened to see two things that caught my eye.

Man if I knew I could those I would sell mine. I would have been a millionaire by now and my wife not as mad for the dirty laundry.
Uh that seems like TMI/over sharing. Just kidding, it's all In good Fun.

Same road trip just passed a multi-vehicle (about 30) accident on the main freeway between north and south California (highway 5). The backup going south is over 10 miles and counting as I write this . Hell of a way to spend New Year's Eve, in a parking lot in the middle of nowhere in the rain. Most have no idea what happended ahead of them and there is no estimate on how long it will take to clear. It happened three hours before I passed it. Unfortunately two people have died so far. If a pic is worth a thousand words here are a few thousand words. FYI I took them as a passenger with plenty of time to do so, the accident is on the other side of the freeway but there is still a lot of rubber neck traffic on the side I'm on.

Wow! That's one hell of an accident.

Nice that you have an indoor space to work in. That's a big job.

Starting our floors to do finished dyed and sealed concrete IMG_1424.JPG

And the finished at the end of the day pic. Need to isolate wiring and pull framing out. We are going to put a small island/cabinet from the right for counter space/storage and use it as a serving station when family is over. IMG_1429.JPG
