Ah such a late model! Well if memory serves me right those digital clusters did suffer from a lot of issues too so I guess it was reasonable to bring back old school gauges.

Wow. you've had that almost 30 years now! That's so cool!

This was the only other Corvette I had before the current one.  A 1988 model that I bought used.  Looks very similar, but there are a number of differences.  Most notably, the wheels, edges not as rounded, and the tail lights were circles rather than squares with rounded corners.

@Charger:  Below you will see the all digital instrument cluster you were speaking of.  So, no gauges.

I got this Kubota ATV a couple of years ago, to help me with chores around my property.  It was getting to tough to move stone or wood with a wheel barrel.

Thought I saw it lurking in the garage in an earlier photo. :)

Is it electric or gas-powered?

Bit of brake work today.

New Front pads and slide pins. Discs probably need changing in the near future, but did not do them now.

Easy job...all the bolts opened nicely too...thanks to only being in Finnish winter climate (and road salt) for 5 years!

Got distracted by Ozzy's death and forgot to answer this. 

Gas powered with 17.5 horsepower engine.

Honestly, a clean engine is better eye candy than clean calipers. I'm cool with those not getting painted.
