Well back in the cold. Drove thru a rain storm around Nashville and weather mode worked great. I think I set a record for people taking pictures of the car, people would actually speed up and lean out window to take shots going down the interstate. I ran into a C5z at a rest stop in Florida and he followed me as I set pace going up 75. C7 are way more abundant in Florida fo sure, but still pulls good attention.

Glad someone else on the forum made it to bike week in Daytona. It can be an amazing experience. I spent 9 days there myself. Weather was too good to be true. Rained for 20mins in total.

Deb, did you get a chance to go down main st.? I took a newbie down main on the first Saturday night. Cameras flashing. Videos being made. Hard to describe.....kinda felt like I was brad Pitt for a minute there......

Then it's party after party after party.........lol! Glad I went, good to be home.

Did get close and personal with 2 Z06s......a lot of car for the price.
