    I’ve got one in the garage at my office, one at a buddies shop, two in my garage, and four in the driveway. Honestly she has a point.

    What's the powertrain in your Stingray? That's a beautiful car, by the way.

    And, got any good car show recs for Alabama this summer? We were going to do cars & coffee today in Bham, but kids actually slept in for once.

    Just a 350 small block with auto trans.

    Planning on doing First Friday in Gadsden a couple of times this summer. They block off the main street in downtown and looks pretty fun. Food trucks, live music etc.

    I think the 350 is way better than the big block. They get really hot and uncomfortable in the cabin (according to dad, former dealer). Thanks for the Gadsden reference. Would be fun to do that.

    Would be happy to if I get my act together. July and August might be possible. May and June either out of town or already booked.

    Hey UncleJesse Jeffrey Lebowski either of you got a rec for an independent body/paint shop around Bham? Might be buying an older Saab 9-5 that'll likely need a partial or full repaint. I'm 100% OK with it not being something super deluxe. I've used Tucker here in Birmingham twice, and they were awesome, but they closed this month. Thoughts? I might just send it at Maaco if worse comes to worse, but wanted to ask first. TIA.

    Don't know of anybody in the Birmingham area. I use Northside Auto in Arab, AL and he is really good but stays about 4-6 months backed up.
