Default Had the Vette out today!

After four long months I finally got her out and man did it feel good! Lots of looks & some thumbs up. On top of the world....



Thought about chasing this DB9 down, but ended up coming to my senses and just taking a pic...

Nice car man!
It was a real nice day today, I'm in Lincoln, but I'm in Omaha quite a bit. Good to see someone else from Nebraska on here

I LOVE C3's! Had a 1981 Silver/Black exterior. Sold it 5 years ago. I know the guy that owns it, going to try and drive it!

Me Too!.. First ride of the year today. Finished up hoses, belts, oil an filter, bled finicky caliper, installed new points and busted out of the garage. After I returned, I had the car in the driveway and the wife comes home and wnats to go for a ride...then she wants to drive...an hour later the gas tank was empty...but we both had a blast..

Glad to hear you got out and had some fun. I took mine to Home Depot to buy a few little things this weekend. When I got there there was a brand new C6 Z06 there so I parked next to him. I really like the new C6's styling but it still dosen't compare to a Shark. I waited around my car for a few minutes to try and meet the owner of the Z06 but never showed. The next day I went back to HD and drove the Vette again. This time when I came out there was another C6 parked next to me. It wasn't a Z06 though. I always drive mine in the winter when conditions are right but it was good to get out with the top down this weekend.

Nice looking car! I can see why you get thumbs up on it. My 76 still needs the front end rebuilt, so it wasn't out this weekend, but I did take my 89 vert for a ride on Saturday and to church on Sunday.

Thanks for letting me drive your '69 Rich! Nothing like a BB! I sure would like to know who in the hell has a new Aston Martin around here though. I've never seen one of these things. He never once looked over at me. Out in Cali I suppose their all over.............
