On happier news, the turn signal on the Corvette has been shit since I bought it.
There is a small metal pin/bar which holds the stalk on the switch lever.
This bar was either broken or something. Not really sure, but it wouldn't stay in it's place and would fall out. This would render the lever useless, and force me to activate the TSS directly inside of the column with my finger. Not ideal by any means.
I figured I could knock the job out in about two hours, so I went over to a buddies house after work on Monday. I was wrong, 4.5 hours later, with some moments of aggressive language outbursts, finagling, and exhaustion. I had finally replaced the switch without breaking anything on the 25 year old car. I'll take that as a major fucking win.
The car is so much nicer to drive now. I washed it and vacuumed it up. Looks pretty nice.
I had a brief moment where I was going to sell it to fund a zr-1, but the car in question has too many red flags for me to be comfortable with.
More later

<Tyler> Okay Nate, here's the keys, just don't try and put the turn signal on.
<Nate> Got it!
* Nate knocks turn signal stalk off at first left.
<Nate> Shit, sorry!
<Tyler> It's fine, don't worry.
*Nate knocks turn signal stalk off again at next left a quarter mile later.
<Nate> Shit!

That's pretty accurate how it went down. I was laughing the entire time it was going on too.

I also went through and replaced all of my electrolytic capacitors in my amps that were bad. I have a fully functioning FM stereo for the first time ever.

Good chance I netted a used AC compressor for 70$ online.
Here is to hoping.

Ok, so in the process to get ready for spring, I have ordered new steering rack bushings, thermostatic oil filter coupling, and an oil cooler.
Next on list is hotter brake pads, diff fluid, and getting the brake ducting figured out.
