The I see your car, the more I covet it.

When you see the C7 after scrolling down through other pix, it looks like something from another planet. I like it, but it definitely takes some adjustment.

Would you beleive the coupes out numbered the convertibles about three to one. Don't have an exact count, but for the tent area I counted 7. There could have been more...but all I saw was about 15 around the entire fair grounds.

I think the C6's were the most of the generations, followed by the C5's, then the C2 (because of the 63's), than the C3 and C4.... In reality, and I could be wrong very few C4 except the the GS club that showed up. Again, I did not get out all around and this is a numbers are based on a sampling of what I saw.

Thanks for posting all those great pics, an amazing weekend and even great weather this year to boot!
Now that I've lived with all those C7's in the flesh for a few days though, I can honestly say that IMHO it most certainly does not look any less tacky in person than in pictures.
If anything, all the surface noise and JC Whitney styling gimmicks jump out at you even more in real life, such a shame that GM chose to take the low road on this one...

Thank you for your compliment. Never get tired of hearing that at all, as many already know, when you put so much time, research, money, and passion into a project, the highest form of gratification comes from your peers, who know what it takes to obtain such a result. For that I thank people, as the compliment means so much, and the criticism means so little.
