Default Corvette Summer C3 in NoVA

On my way to the gym this past Friday at the Loehmans plaza in Falls Church and came across this car. Overall I thought the car was pretty nice but I do have to say I am not a fan of the hood work...

Sorry for the crappy pics but it was a camera phone.

Take off the hood and it would be a nice car.

Default Was there some kind a vette show at Loehmans?

Didn't even hear about it - I live a few minutes from there...
