Default Fun with the camera

Was a nice day out yesterday so I pulled the cover off and went for a spin. I ended up on my favorite back country road, you know the kind... long flat and straight for miles ... yeah I couldn't resist tryin out the new carb and exhaust I swiped the wifes camera before I left so I could take a few pictures while I was out. Not the best pics and not the nicest car on this forum but I enjoy showing her off anyway, she still turns a few heads. Also I made a youtube video of what the exhast sounds like, I know kinda corny but it helped me decide on what to put on mine so least I could do is maybe help out the next guy down the road, I don't know how to post it on here but it's under, IMMS 1977 corvette exhaust, just in case anyone would like a listen. I hope you enjoy.

Makes me wonder if I had 225 x 70 r15's instead of 255 x 60 r15's if there might be more burn marks on my road!
