Online car sales were given the OK today by the governor, but my role is non-essential in relation to that unless someone gets sick and dies.

Carvana offered like $13.5K but they'll only take it if I trade it in on something else (also makes sense). I'm good dawg, looks like I'm in it for the long haul, it'll only get like 5K miles a year, but whatever. Maybe that will make it worth still $10K when

I think I may get some new

look good though
I like them... but I think if I'm going to keep this for the long haul I'd like to move to a square setup. It's the biggest flaw of the car, maybe I will do that + t00n for some staying powah/fun.

I honestly think the C5 brakes are the best floating caliper brakes I've ever driven. My car with rebuilt calipers, SS lines, and good pads/rotors could rival any fixed caliper setup in anything other than heavy track use.

I have a compressor to pop out the pistons, so I offered to rebuild griff's calipers since I've done it a few times in the past.
Unfortunately, the front rebuild kits appear to be for a C6 or something because the seals are too big. Griff's getting those back unassembled, but cleaned and painted with a fresh coat of G2 caliper paint. The rears are ready to bolt on.
