Is that a relatively new engine? Looks like a big block...and the exhaust tips pointing down must give a nice sound. Congrats.

Yes, car shows start to wind down in the fall. But with cooler weather and no salt/sand on the roads from ice and snow yet, it's great to take a drive. I like taking my vette out now in the cooler weather--better than 90+ degrees and high humidity IMO.
