Default Xmas Toy Run

Our group(21 vettes) delivered toys to the Anza,Ca fire station today,then grabbed lunch at the Tumbleweed Junction Cafe (Saloon).
Note fire truck leaving on a call right after we got there(last pic)..fortunately they returned shortly so we could turn over toys...and,Tumbleweed owner got a ride in the 53...02 ????

Sounds like a great outing. Thankfully, you had some C5 & C6 coupes so you could actually bring a respectable number of toys.

We had two "chase" trucks loaded besides what individuals vettes carried....the fire capt told us we doubled what they had received from their local community...

Default Great idea to get it together for a vette cruise.

Man that '53/'02 is way too cool.
Thx for sharing.

Yuck, I can't stand those 53/02's. I saw one in person at the Goodguy's show in Charlotte a few months ago. Design abortion... or it should've been. Half and half just isn't working. Not a huge fan of the SSR either but when I think truck, I think function.

Love the rest of the Vettes though, especially that red one
