It's a gecko. I have about 30 of them at any given time around the roof of my carport, pooping on my Corvette.

Just think of all the roaches aka palmetto bugs they are eating.

Our exterminator takes care of the roaches - for the most part. Nothing like the huge flying wood roaches. Those are common here. The geckos started showing up here maybe 15-20 years ago. Never saw them when I was growing up here.
 
What year?
Just an old 79. Clearly not Corvette's finest hour performance wise (thanks to the government), but it is what I grew up driving. I have had 5 C3s through the years. She is 40 years old this year and I have had it 25.

I asked because I knew it would be old. Great looking car with out gecko poop all over it.
I had a all black 68. I lost interest in the car and never drove it so I sold it 10 years ago. I was to young when I got it and lost interest.

Ah, the first year for the C3 body style. You should've held on to that one, because they will only go up in value.
 
I like your new avatar.
Thanks. I started with just the shark, but added a background. It was easier to see with the white background. Just wanted to try something different.

My dad bought a 68 vette when he met my mom in NY. Root beer brown metallic with big chrome sidepipes. The old pictures look like something from the movie Corvette Summer.
 
Speaking of pops, he got the interior mostly done in the Triumph build. He is making retirement look like a blast!

That is a sweet ride there! I will be retired soon myself. I have two old cars that need tending to - and a few aquariums. :-) Both are in good shape and don't need restoration, but some TLC will be fun.
 
enough blue?
Your spectrum is really good for growth, for crazy coloration I would use more blue personally. T5’s and getting zoas to color up is a challenge in its self though, they brown out in my 90 from to much light. My 40b they look awesome, but it’s just a single 360 only running blue at 100% during peak. Sounds like a lot but it’s only about 80 par where most my zoas are.
