Hey, sorry I didn't get your post earlier.
The wedding went a little longer than expected. The brunch event ended later than planned, and I only got to leave there at 11:30am. I arrived at the C & C about 15 mins later and there were just a few cars there. So I checked facebook and saw a live video that they had posted 8 minutes before I got there with pretty much every car leaving. FML.
I left and rode with the top down from West Palm straight to South Miami. The sun was so strong, and I ended up stuck in traffic for a while longer than the hour that it takes to get there. My forehead is now 100% purple. I guess summer's back full swing.
I'll be there again for the next one and will get there early as there won't be a random wedding to hold me up!

old fart in Broward Ft Lauderdale area
Hey, I saw your other post about washing your car as well.
I live in Miami (Brickell) but used to live in Broward, so I know the area.
I also commute to Plantation (Pine Island Rd and 595) for work though I'm only here about 50% of the time.
Do you want to wash your own car? If you prefer doing so, there's a spot I found in Hollywood that you can do so (I can't wash my car in my condo either. I usually do so in Coral Gables at a relative's, but might start doing it at this Hollywood wash if I know I'll hit rush hour on my way home).
I also have a great guy who can work on your car for aftermarket stuff, and reasonable pricing for top top notch work. Granted if you have a C7 you're probably well withing extended warranty, but if the mod bug hits soon let me know.

Most of the owners I run into are older.
Young at heart with old bones.

And everyone else with modded vettes, please join!
I would love to get some modding ideas from you guys!
Anyone with long tube headers and npp combo, that would be great. Headers are the next performance mod I'm planning on.
Anywone with CF diffuser and/or CF ZR1 sideskirts as well. That would be my next appearance one as well.
Anyone who tracks their C6 as well. I'm hoping to hit the tracks again (Homestead pref, PBIR not so much but second option) soon!

Rob that looks phenomenal! I LOVE the look (minus the red headlight rings but that's a very minor detail). I'm looking forward to seeing (and hearing it) in person.
What exhaust do you have? Corsa?
I see that you have a 305 number. Where in Miami Dade are you located? I'm in Brickell. I'll be in Coral Gables most of this long weekend in case you'll be around.
Geared... that's nothing short of bada$$ what you will have there. I want to ask for a ride once it's done but I'm afraid this would take me again to the darkside! (see pic of the vortech snail on my last engine bay for reference )

I'll be taking the Vette to Homestead Raceway on sunday for a full day at the track!
If anyone is interested to join, go to
www.performancedrivinggroup.com
Heads up, it's 300 bucks, includes lunch and obv. a full time instructor who rides with you (unless you're well experienced). It's a good chunk up front, but an amazing experience! You need a helmet, good life left on your pads, and a recent oil change.... that's it!
Hope to meet some of you soon...
