GTG / meets --- CA in the summer time

Here are some options for this weekend if anyone is interested in meeting up someplace with a bunch of cool cars:

Cars and Coffee at Canepa Design July 13th 2013 - Corvette Forum (Canepa's webpage describing the event sucks)

Cars & Caffeine Series July Event | Club Auto Sport


There is also an informal meet every Saturday morning at the Winchester Theaters parking lot in San Jose from approximately 1000-1200ish(near Santana Row and right next to the Winchester Mystery House).

Lots of options to meet up and see a bunch of bad ass cars, not just Cobalts.

nooooo, the head with the 13 bent valves came from a guy in florida, i bought it off him. my builder took the head to a machine shop for me and had them check it. thats how i know about the valves. but the bends were because of some misaligned valve guides
