Default Finally got her home safe and sound

Started here:




Then to Bristol for the NASCAR races and 15 hot laps around the track the night before:



Then of course a seventh trip on the Tail of the Dragon:


Out ran a tornado in Kansas going to Denver then the Rockies:


Then a stop at Shooter's for breakfast in Rifle, Co.:


Then finally safe at home in bed:


4700 miles of fun and rock and roll!! Had a timed run of 40 to 100 mph in 4.6 seconds!!

red corvette, museum delivery, I like your style.

I was wondering why the hard top, but the last picture explained what I would have considered an odd body style decision for a pleasure car. I do think those hard tops are very pretty, just not well suited for my highest and best use, to steal a phrase from the land developers among us.

Hope it brings you a lot of fun.

My Z51 crystal red vert is parked in front of my business in La Crescenta as we speak. BTW#, if you ever need environmental services, I'm your guy.
