There's a dude around here that tows a small jet-boat that is color-matched to his Corvette. As I recall they are both candy-apple red with gold flake. If I see him I'll snap a cell phone pic.

And of course there are guys that hitch up a little trailed with their racing slicks, that's approved and

Actually, I took the pictures and posted them in off topic. And yes, I took them in Key West on Monday. I saw him coming up in my rear view and couldn't believe what I was seeing.

The really funny part about the car is that it has a bra on the front. Wouldn't want bugs messing up the paint. I wasn't able to pass him so I couldn't get that shot.

The plates are Florida antique plates.

On a side note, the car sounded pretty good.

How come the car had Florida plates on it last year and now has Michigan plates? Clearly this guy has been in Florida. Is there some monetary advantage to running Michigan plates?

Years ago my son was playing all star little league baseball and we were at the home field of a verrrry upscale league. They were dragging the infield before the game with a classic Mercedes SL. I was surprised they didn't have quiche on the snack bar menu.

His name's Brock. He also has a blue 67 (i think) convertible all done up with VBP suspension and a nice crate big block. Nice guy, just don't approach him if you don't have an hour to throw away talking about his cars.
