10 Years Strong and Still An Eye Turner
I had a visit from my Grandson yesterday, who is now 5 years old. He is starting Kindergarten today. To celebrate that milestone I took him for his first unofficial ride (around the block) in Orange Krate and took a photo of him in the trunk as I did when he was a baby in 2016 (see previous post above). The last 5 years have gone by at breakneck speed.
Happy "Kinnygarden" Day Jaxon! Love, Papa

Exhaust Upgrade - Corsa Catback
Orange Krate received a present for his 12th birthday. A new Corsa Exhaust set. 3" cat back. What an improvement in tone and it just feels more responsive. Will post some photos and video soon.

Are you still running with the factory exhaust manifold and cats?

Yes. Stock up to exhaust pipes.

Baby it's cold outside!
I had to take Orange Krate on a cold winter's night up to my expectant daughter's house. She is due very soon. I had to leave Orange Krate out in the cold. First time ever in freezing weather. It's 25 degrees and frosty. Snow up on the mountain tops. This was Orange Krate staring at me waiting for some relief. Will advise when the stork arrives. Ironically today is my Grandson Jaxon's 8th birthday. He has known Orange Krate his whole life.

We made it through the cold!

So we will soon have some Orange Krate photos with both Grandsons... AND we have a Granddaughter due in mid August! What a Christmas ahead.... tripling the number of Grandkids in 1 year is monumental. Thought I would buy a Corvette but now it looks like I will need a Suburban. In the meantime, today I added MBRP exhaust tips to the Corsa exhaust. It changed the exhaust note just a tad for the better. No more exhaust black spots on the GFX openings. There are 27,400 miles on Orange Krate today.

A new passenger for Orange Krate
We are now blessed with 2 Grandsons. First one, Jaxon, is now 8 years old (1/12/16). Second one, Kieran arrived 1/12/24. He is huge. Weighed in at 9lbs 3oz. His Daddy is 6' 7" so no surprise there.
Both Grandsons are doing great and getting along well. Hope to do some photos of them soon with Orange Krate. In the meantime "The Nana and Papa" (wife and I) are both in full swing as Grandparents and doing what we can when we can.
