It's Saturday morning and you're pulling together the last few items for your day bag for the air show.  You're looking forward to spending the day with Jake and checking out the vintage aircraft.  Jake is picking you up here shortly, he mentioned something about having the better car for today and purposely remained vague on details.  
I'm looking out the window when you see a turquoise vintage Corvette convertible pull up with the fabric top up.  You can't see who is driving as the car stops at the curb in front of your  house. A familiar head of blond hair followed by a leather bomber jacket with mission patches unfolds out of the driver's seat.  Jake is of course wearing his aviators. He just smiles wide and stretches his arms out presenting the car, he shouts, 
"A vintage ride to a vintage air show!" as you walk out to meet him.  He runs around the car to greet you with a hug and a kiss and opens the door for you.  
"Ooh, vintage manners too," you coo as you get into the car.  He shuts your door and walks around the car and climbs into the driver seat.  He starts the car and you are off towards Chula Vista where the fly in is being held.  
"You know, if you had told me you had a 61 Corvette when we first met, I might have been nicer to you," you say as he pulls on the freeway heading south from San Diego, hand trailing on the dash. 
"The lady knows her cars," Jake replies.
"Of course I do, I'm the daughter of an automotive engineer from Michigan.  In fact my dad worked for GM." 
"And yet you drive a Honda CR-V, the store brand vanilla ice cream of cars." He teases back.  
"Yeah, it's definitely utilitarian and I got a good deal on it from a friend who was moving overseas. Besides, I drive way too many miles for my  job to have anything like this."
The rest of the drive passes quickly and soon you're pulling into the lot at the general aviation airport hosting the event.  Jake and you walk up to the entrance and grab a map,
"So where do we want to go first? Ooh, they have a World War 2 section," you ask scanning the map.  Jake hooks his chin on your shoulder to peek at the map. He scans the map and says, 
"That sounds good, we'll have to make sure to see the fighters," Jake says pointing at the map from over your shoulder.
"I wouldn't dare miss that, dear," you say to Jake as you kiss his cheek.  It comes so naturally to you that the intimacy of the gesture doesn't register till you start walking handing hand towards where the World War II planes are arranged on the tarmac.  This has definitely moved past fuck buddies and you try to convince yourself it's just friends with benefits, ignoring the slight panic that flutters up in your gut.  
There are dozens of aircraft from World War II lined up on the tarmac.  You and Jake find yourself gravitating to the bombers.  
“These always intrigued me because of just how many people were in a crew, how many people it took to fly these and hit targets.  All of that stuff we can just do with one or two people now,"  you say as you wander around a B-29. 
“I’ve always liked the WWII bombers for the nose art, mostly the pin up girls to be honest.  I had a few posters of some of them on your  wall in high school.  Closest I could get to putting up a bikini model poster without my mom freaking out,”  Jake replies.  
You laugh at the thought of Jake as horny teenager looking at pin up girls for hormonal inspiration.  
“So, you’re saying you like the pin up look.”
“I’d have you on the side of my jet, but I think the Navy’s not going to be into that,” he leans in closer and whispers, 
“But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t ravage you the second I saw you all gussied up like that.” 
He points up to the classic nose art of a woman astride a bomb, skimpy red dress and heels, and Jessica Rabbit style red hair.  You make a mental note for later.  
You’ve traversed most of the air show and you finally get to fighter jet row after lunch from a food truck.  The way Jake kept catching your  eye as you were trying to eat a ridiculously large Italian sausage made you nearly choke on it with laughter. 
“You’re going to kill me if you keep that up,” you joke as you bump shoulders with him.    
“Whatever do you mean? I just see a woman really enjoying a large girthy sausage,” he replies back with an innocent look. 
As you walk through the planes it's apparent whoever curated the show did a great job with lining the aircraft up in chronological order.  It’s easy to see the evolution of the planes.  Jake stops when we get to a F-14 Tomcat.  
“Maverick flew one of these when he was at Top Gun,” he says.  
Climbing up the step ladder you check out the cockpit.  All the same elements that are in the jets you work on are there, but they're so rudimentary compared to what we equip aircraft with now.   
“It’s like looking back at a stone hammer versus buying one at Home Depot,” you say. “There’s actually a few guys I work with who worked on the F-16s around the time this was made by Grunnam.”  
“It does give me a tiny, tiny” he pinches his fingers together, “bit more respect for the old man to have shot down as many planes as he has when he had this to work with.”
The afternoon is getting hot so you call it and head back to Jake’s car, the turquoise is easy to spot in the field of cars.  As we get closer, Jake looks at you and asks, 
“How about I put the top down and we can drive back by the coast?”  
“That sounds good,”  you quickly find a hair tie out of your  purse and pull your hair back to keep it from flying around in the wind as we drive.  After navigating through town you finally make it out to the main coast road that will take you back to Coronado Island.  The wind noise is so loud you can’t really talk, but you find yourself looking at Jake a lot of the way back and just how beautiful he is especially with the setting sun behind him as we drive.  Every once in a while he catches you staring and smiles that panty dropper smile of his.   
You see a sign for a scenic turnout and you point it out to Jake. He nods, turning the car into the gravel lot and pulls to the far end of the lot.  You get out to stretch our legs and watch the sunset.  As you lean against the front of the car Jake wraps his arm around you and you curl into his side as the cool ocean breeze rolls in.  The sun slowly sets and Jake turns to kiss you.  You stand up between Jake's legs where he is leaning on against the car.  He is finally at a height where you can access his lips easily.  You reach in his bomber jacket and wrap your  arms around his back.  He grabs your hips and pulls you in close.  The kiss deepens and you can feel that familiar tug low in your belly. Grabbing the lapels of his jacket you pull him in closer. The kissing and sliding of hands over each other's bodies starts to build, the heat between you rising.
Jake stands up to his full height and gently pushes you away and runs to the back of the car and starts to pull the top of the car into place. His plan becomes clear when he sits down in the passenger seat and pats his lap.  You're thankful you're wearing a dress.  Jake is already hauling his pants and boxers down and stroking his cock. He pulls a condom out of his pocket and rolls it on as he watches you  walk up to the open door, lean down and slip your underwear off and climb in. As you straddle his lap Jake closes the door.  He reaches in between you and grabs the base of his cock and guides himself into you.  You sink down on him as far as you can.   He pants out between groans, 
"Fuck, El, so good." 
Jake reaches up to push the denim jacket you have over your sundress off and slide the straps of your dress and bra down exposing your breasts.  His firms hands slide up and palm your tits as he works each nipple with his mouth and rough fingers. 
The pleasure of his mouth and hands becomes too much and you start to ride him, desperate to quell the ache between your thighs. Your moans get louder and breathier and Jake pants out a few words,
"God damn, El, ride my cock." 
His hands have slipped down your side and are holding the globes of your ass.  He pulls your dress over your hips and kneads at the flesh of your ass.
Fucking his head to yours he whispers, 
"Such a pretty ass, makes me want to slap and spank it."
He grabs and holds you still against his cock as he squeezes your butt hard. 
You clench around him at the thought of his big hands leaving red hand prints on your smooth flesh.
He chuckles, having picked up on your response to his dirty thoughts.
"Oh El, you dirty girl. You want me to slap your ass, make it hurt a little, hurt in a good way?"
You can't control the whine that escapes your throat while you rock into him harder. Taking your response as permission he pulls back his hand and lands a resounding slap on your soft flesh. The sound is deafening in the closed car.  You whine in pleasure at the flash of pain.   
"You like that?" he asks, in a soft tone.
You duck your head into his neck, a little embarrassed, but oh so turned on. Ignoring the thought of your feminist credentials being tarnished by this, you reply,
"Yes, I do."
He slaps your other cheek, and says, 
"Say 'Yes, sir.'"
You pull your head back and look him directly in the eyes and challenge him and gain back a little control, 
"I do, Lieutenant."
He raises an eyebrow and pulls his mouth into that smirk right before he slaps both of your cheeks at the same time.  The delicious pain ricochets down through your clit causing you to clench hard around him finally breaking his cool facade, 
"Fuck, so good.'
You start to lift up and down on Jake's cock at a faster pace while he rubs your ass, keeping it warm and the hint of pain lingering.  Your mutual heavy breathing fills the car.  Jake moves one hand to place his thumb over your clit and starts slowly rolling circles around your  sensitive point.  The slowness of his touch is contrast to your frantic pace. His other hand pulls your  head down to him and he gives you a filthy kiss as he says, 
"You ride me so good, like you were made to do that, El."
"Yes, Lieutenant, your cock is so good. Give it to me, please," you whine in response.  
The tension is starting to build in your belly and you keep riding Jake even though your legs are starting to ache and shake with strain.  
Jake's hand on your ass is helping lift you each time and to keep your pace going. 
His thumb on your clit pushes down harder and he slaps your ass at the same time, breaking that wave of pleasure over you. 
"Fuck, fuck, oh my god," you rasp as your release triggers Jake's and he goes slack under you, the tension released. 
The air in the car is thick with your deep breaths as you both come down from your highs. You tuck your head into Jake's neck and he wraps his strong arms around you. You and him just exist for a few minutes, still joined. 
The casual closeness of the moment startles you, the safety and security, and mostly just how right it feels to be in Jake's arms. It  overwhelms you, sending a niggling sense of panic and alarm through you. That familiar wave of vulnerability and fear rolls through you and you push back off Jake's chest, desperate to get rid of these feelings. This is not what you had planned on, developing feelings for him, not for anyone after Liam. Jake's arms are still around your waist, his head leaned back and his eyes closed, he doesn't pick up on your unease.
Your next words are chosen intentionally to break the spell you're under.
"Hey there, did I fuck your brains out there, Lieutenant?" you ask as Jake comes back to reality.  His cock twitches inside you as you say Lieutenant.  He looks into your eyes with an expression that you can't place, almost hopeful and wistful, and you know that the enormity of the moment has surrounded him also. Your own panic and doubt  starts to swell as he pulls your head down for one more deep kiss before you separate hoping to quell this tsunami of emotions brewing in you. You step out of the car and rummage around in your purse to find some tissues to clean up, handing some to Jake as you piece yourselves back together and get back on the road.
The ride back is quiet, the night turned dark.  Jake has taken your hand in his and is rubbing his thumb on the back of yours as he drives. As you slow down and roll through the residential streets to get back to your  house, he asks,
"Hungry?”  
The question startles you from your thoughts, and you fumble for an answer,
“Yes, I was too into the scenery to think about dinner till now.”  
He grins back at you full of self satisfaction as you realize the secondary meaning of your statement.  You give him an affectionate eye roll in return.
“Want to hit the Hard Deck? You can’t beat the fish tacos,” he asks.
“Works for me,” you reply, happy that they'll be something to redirect your attention and thoughts when you get there.
It doesn’t take long for you to pull into the parking lot and the place is its usual level of busy for an early Saturday night.  Jake parks the car and you walk over hand in hand to the entrance when Jake suddenly stops, his shoes crunching on the gravel in response the abruptness of his motion, and says, 
“Shit, my squadron is here.”

Thanks to Ukrainian drones, the Russian guided missile corvette Ivanovets is now sleeping with the fishes. BTW, great vid above! 🇺🇦❤️
Ukraine thought to have sunk Russian warship near occupied Crimea
Ukrainian forces are believed to have sunk the Russian Ivanovets warship near occupied Crimea in a sophisticated overnight attack by multiple sea drones, demonstrating Kyiv’s expanding power in the Black Sea. Ukraine’s military intelligence published a grainy video showing several sea drones attacking the Russian corvette, ending with three dramatic images showing it listing, exploding and sinking into the water. Ukraine said the boat had been sunk, as did leading Russian military bloggers. Hours later, western officials said they believed the warship had been destroyed in an attack that used long range uncrewed drones. [ ... ] Russia did not immediately comment on the incident, but a number of pro-Kremlin military bloggers close to Moscow confirmed that the Ivanovets warship was hit. [ ... ] Although Ukraine began the war with no navy, scuttling its only frigate to prevent it from falling into Russian hands, Kyiv has gradually pushed back on Moscow’s early dominance of the Black Sea through long range missile attacks and the innovative use of sea drones.
Considering that the Vermont National Guard probably has more military ships than Ukraine, the Ukrainian Navy now terrifies the Russian Black Sea fleet. There's little Russian presence in the western part of the sea these days.
The Ivanovets probably thought it was safe where it was anchored. It was in a body of water called Lake Donuzlav in occupied Crimea. Though it is more like a bay with a narrow opening to the Black Sea.
Tumblr media
^^^ That opening is just 435 meters wide, a little over 4.5 US football fields. But Ukrainian sea drone pilots managed to navigate several of their kamikaze vessels into the bay without being detected up to that point.
The sinking of the Ivanovets is just one of several bits of good news for Ukraine in the past few days.
Putin toady Viktor Orbán, the homophobic leader of Turkey Hungary, was forced to back down from his threat to block €50 billion in aid to Ukraine.
EU agrees €50bn package for Ukraine as Viktor Orbán bows to pressure
A robust and united position among EU member states convinced Viktor Orbán to end his “blackmail” and support a €50bn (£43bn) funding package for Ukraine, European prime ministers have said. The Hungarian prime minister, who had been vowing to block the funds since December, performed one of the fastest U-turns seen at a leaders’ summit after six weeks of brinkmanship. There was relief that the deal was finally done but also a sense of fury among leaders who had been dragged to Brussels for the second time in as many months to try to get the package over the line after Orbán blocked the aid in December. The Finnish prime minister, Petteri Orpo, said: “Nobody can blackmail 26 countries of the EU. Our values were not for sale.” Donald Tusk, the Polish prime minister, who said he had “nothing nice” to say to the Hungarian prime minister, warned there would be no reward for Orbán or anyone who had tried to solicit “rotten compromises”.
Also, Dark Brandon strikes again! President Biden is using his discretionary powers as commander-in-chief to get some military aid to Ukraine while the House Putin Caucus at the direction of sex offender Donald Trump continues to block Biden's $61 billion aid package.
First Ecuador, Now Greece: Joe Biden Is Finding More And More Countries To Help Him Arm Ukraine
“Ring-trade.” Remember that term. Increasingly, it’s how U.S. president Joe Biden is arming Ukraine. He did it with Ecuador. Now he’s doing it with Greece, too. A ring-trade is, in essence, a circular swap. One country pays or arms a second country so the second country can arm a third country. Germany pioneered the ring-trade—Ringtausch—for supporting Ukraine, most notably giving to... The Czech Republic: 14 Leopard 2 tanks and an engineering vehicle in exchange for the Czech Republic having given to Ukraine potentially dozens of T-72 tanks; Greece: 40 Marder fighting vehicles so that Greece could donate to Ukraine 40 BMP-1 fighting vehicles; Slovakia: 15 Leopard 2A4s to compensate for 30 BVP-1 fighting vehicles Slovakia donated to Ukraine. Slovenia: 45 military-grade heavy trucks so that Slovenia would give to Ukraine 28 M-55S tanks. The United States with its greater stocks of old weapons eventually could surpass Germany as a ring-trader. And it has every reason to do so. For four months now, a small contingent of pro-Russia Republican lawmakers, led by the extremist speaker of the U.S. House Mike Johnson, has blocked $61 billion in new U.S. government funding for Ukraine’s war effort. In early January, Ecuadorian president Daniel Noboa revealed in a radio interview that Ecuador would give to the United States “scrap” weapons in exchange for new weapons—worth $200 million—that the United States would provide at a later date. The United States then would donate the “scrap” to Ukraine. Some of that old hardware apparently shipped aboard an Antonov An-124 airlifter on Jan. 25. [ ... ] According to Greek newspaper Kathimerini and other media, the Biden administration offered the government in Athens three 87-foot Protector-class patrol boats, two Lockheed Martin C-130H airlifters, 10 Allison T56 turboprop engines for Lockheed P-3 patrol planes plus 60 M-2 Bradley fighting vehicles and a consignment of transport trucks. In exchange for this largess, the Americans want the Greeks to donate more weapons to the Ukrainians. “We continue to be interested in the defense capabilities that Greece could transfer or sell to Ukraine,” Blinken wrote. The Greek government reportedly already has earmarked old weapons for onward transfer to the government in Kyiv. As with Ecuador, the trade could involve air-defense equipment: S-300 and Hawk long-range missiles and launchers and Tor and Osa short-range missiles and launchers. This indirect U.S. support of Ukraine via ring-trades is necessary because, starting in October, Republicans in the U.S. Congress made it clear they probably never will approve additional direct military aid to Ukraine. [ ... ] [L]ook for Biden to get more creative as Republican intransigence persists. The president even could donate excess defense articles directly to Ukraine, and in large quantities, assuming Ukraine or some other country pays for shipping.

India commissions its first home-built aircraft carrier, the INS Vikrant
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 09/02/2022 - 13:00in Military
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi today commissioned the first aircraft carrier built in India, highlighting his government's efforts to increase domestic production to provide aid to the military deployed on two contentious borders.
After 17 years of construction and testing, Modi commissioned the INS Vikrant - the navy's second operational aircraft carrier and the largest warship ever built in India - on a state shipyard in the south.
Tumblr media
"Today, India has joined the countries of the world that can manufacture such a large aircraft carrier with native technology," Modi said. "It is a symbol of Indian potential, Indian resources and Indian skills."
Tumblr media
Designed to accommodate a crew of about 1,600 people and a fleet of 30 aircraft, the Vikrant will feature MIG-29K aircraft designed in Russia that already operate from another aircraft carrier from India, INS Vikramaditya, which India bought from Russia.
Tumblr media
Boeing and the French Dassault are seeking to supply India with more than two dozen jets for the Vikrant.
India is one of the largest importers of weapons in the world, spending $12.4 billion between 2018 and 2021, but has been seeking to develop its own manufacturing capabilities while Russia, the main supplier, is waging a war in Ukraine and facing sanctions.
Tumblr media
Among the imports are about 8,000 defense items worth about US$ 1.03 trillion in 2022-23 that you want their companies to produce, according to the Ministry of Defense.
Tumblr media
Currently, India has 1.38 million people in its armed forces, with a large number deployed on the borders with its nuclear-weapon rivals China and Pakistan.
"India is working with all its forces to become self-sufficient," Modi said, referring to the Texas lightweight combat aircraft and artillery, built at home.
Tumblr media
The Vikrant will significantly increase India's maritime capabilities, allowing the navy to operate an aircraft carrier on each coast, alongside its 10 destroyers, 12 frigates and 20 corvettes.
Tumblr media
China, which also has two operational aircraft carriers and is working on a third, has a much larger fleet of 335 ships, including about 48 destroyers, 43 frigates and 61 corvettes.
"Security concerns in the Indo-Pacific region and the Indian Ocean have been ignored for a long time," Modi said. "But today this area is a great defense priority for our country."

Fri 27/10 2023 12:24pm
Subject: This email took an hour to write lol (can you tell I used to do public speaking and debating)
I'm feeling good today, I've taken my meds (which is why this email is so long and detailed), and I plan to get work done. ('good' really means normal, and for me n o r m a l means I'm still carrying my constant emotional baggage but it's not necessarily bumming me out right now)
Tumblr media
COUNTER ARGUMENT!!! The longer you stay in situations that stress you out the further that will continue to build, and really I am de-stressing to avoid burnout. THINGS THAT STRESS ME OUT (non exhaustive list) -Dysphoria from my friends  (appearance and social gender envy from Ara Ara)  (emotional, appearance, and social gender envy from Brisket)  (emotional, appearance, and social gender envy from Paella) -General emotional uncertainty and inability to connect with my friends as deeply as I wish I could -Particularly painful classes as a result of disruptive students  History, Christian Studies, (English + Math sometimes) (I've gotten over the initial misery I had with english) -Not having classes with ANY friends beyond my electives not only considering they can have classes together which allows them to have more developed friendships, but also the classes I do have with someone I know (that isn't an elective) I have with Shakira who is far from my first option and who I'm only really 'friends' with because of proximity and the fact she isn't too bad (even if a bit irritating, rude, and fickle) (the only nice thing about having Shakira there is she creates a barrier between me, and To Slo/ biggus (despite the fact they only sit near because she's there)) I tend to avoid recognising this in particular because it evokes the part of my thought process that thinks the state of reality now is what it will always be like (hopelessness) -Dysphoria in those classes not only from the perceived disconnect between my behaviour and the girls but from a general assumed association with the boys (the disruptive students) -The fact that dysphoria makes alot of good things more bitter than sweet for me, which can be disheartening for my friends And also that I'm so consistently upset and emotionally devastated that they have given up on trying to comfort me despite that being what I need so much in those situations -That fucking bald spot -Dysphoria from being apart of the boys sporting class and smelling horrific with sweat (even if I wear more than enough deodorant any smell is far too much) -Even food tech (one of the good classes) take some serious emotional manoeuvring to enjoy since I have to  not stress out Ara Ara too much and adapt to what she wants to do. Being funny whilst not interruptive and not a too masculine way to avoid the emotional distress of potentially not being someone she enjoys being around (and avoid more dysphoria) ALL OF THAT brings more dysphoria when its cross compared with her relationships with Brisket and Paella and MORE dysphoria comes when I see the relationship she has with Mrs F, how she's able to talk to her and joke with her and everything -The general emotional uncertainty that I feel Ara Ara and I have, it feels like they are more and less unhappy with me every other week and I can't decipher which of the thousands of possible reasons that could be, or if its real at all and I'm just entirely incorrect about that. Exams are really an afterthought because they stress my brain out too much to think about the effect they'll have (same with my future (both the good and bad possibilities)) I think it might be a defence or coping mechanism but instead of reconciling and working with that stress I somehow have both an oblivious and aggressively optimistic outlook with a glass half full sort've way. "In less than a week and a half it'll be over" is generally what I try to remember. Not thinking about it much is bad for me because I can't seize every chance I could to study; thinking about THAT too hard will stress me out so I'm trying to just think about studying more instead of how I'm studying less that I should.
Tumblr media
It's not something I can always feel buildup consciously, even if I'm feeling good in the morning I know when a day is going to be bad for me, so anxiety is the hypothesis. (I can also tell what days I'm going to be the most prone to dysphoria) that was most of the points I can remember at this time, though I know there's more stresses and arguments I could make but that summarises my current state fairly accurately.  that being said, I am at home today and my excuse is it's actually better to have the whole day to study (even if I just spent the first few hours rotting)

The Joker has to halt his... uhh... "love party" due to the arrival of… THE PHANTASM! GASP!
Say the line, Phantasm - “YOUR ANGEL OF DEATH AWAITS”. YAY!

Join us on Facebook at the Bat Minute Listener's Cave!
The Bat Minute theme song is by the band Rat Bit Kit and Ash Lerczak (aka Doc Horror) of Zombina & The Skeletones and Double Echo.

Sticking with our windshield theme, let’s compare these two different choices on the Byers SR-100. The blue and silver one uses a 1953-55 Corvette windshield while the red one uses a 1955-61 Corvette windshield. What do we think gang, which do you prefer and why? . . . . #undiscoveredclassics #forgottenfiberglass #fiberglasscar #fiberglass #handbuilt #sportscar #sportscars #americansportscar #restoration #restorationproject #restorationcars #carrestoration #classiccar #classiccars #cars #carsofinstagram #carswithoutlimits #vintagecars #customcars #carcheology #byers #byerssr100 #dickjones #jimbyers (at Tampa, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnmQQ6NL55R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Corvette Hubcaps and Everything You Need to Make Your Hubcaps Better
Have your classic Corvette hubcaps seen better days? Do you lack the right spinners or other parts of your hubcaps? We know how difficult it can be to find the exact right, perfect part for your Corvette. We also know how difficult it can be to settle for anything less than the perfect part. So, we do everything we can to make sure that you don’t have to. As of this writing, we have plenty of hubcaps, spinners, and more for all kinds of classic Corvettes.
1959-1962 Corvette Hubcaps With (and Without) Spinners We recently got in plenty of new reproduction hubcaps as well as wheel covers for 1959, 1960, 61, and 62 Corvettes. Should you buy them in a set, you’ll get four hubcaps, four retainer rings (with the hardware) and four spinners (should you go with the spinners option). Now, these Licensed GM Restoration Parts have everything that judges are looking for. How precisely have they been crafted? They even have that oh-so-important bright ice blue finish. These are a complement to any of those Corvettes, with or without the spinners.
The Parts and Hardware You’ll Need for Your Hubcaps If you’re like so many of us, one of your great joys in life is working on your Corvette by hand. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with letting the pros do it, but being able to restore your own Corvette on your own terms is a great joy. To facilitate that, we offer 1956-1962 hubcap spinner retainers as well as hardware. With this pack, you’ll get four stainless retaining rings as well as sixteen perfectly correct screws. With those, you’ll be able to mount spinners to hubcaps/wheel covers that much easier and more accurately.
Replacing the Spinners? You’ll Need Spinner Spaces If you have a 1966 Corvette and want to replace the spinners, then you very well may need this part. The chrome spinner spaces we offer are unique to the hubcaps for the 1966 Corvette. If you’re replacing the spinners, this isn’t a “want to” have part, it’s a “must have.” We see this as one more way to provide all kinds of Corvette owners with the parts they’ll need. Perhaps there aren’t all that many Corvette owners who may need this part, but, the Corvette owners who need this part will absolutely need it. As ever, our goal is to be able to help as many classic Corvette owners as possible to find the right part.
Beyond Hubcaps Hubcaps certainly make up some of our most popular parts. However, they’re a small part of what we offer here at CS of MD West. Essentially, if there’s a kind of part you need for your classic Corvette, you can find it here: either in NOS, reproduction, or restoration form. We can fix many parts too, right here on our premises. To see our wares, check out our site, or to speak to a pro, call us at (800) 638-6450.
We are also excited to announce that our 1965 Hubcaps Set will be back in stock on November 8th!
