Default Few pics from today

Wanted to take the 68 out this weekend, so I got in touch with blueray72 yesterday to see if he wanted to cruise.....well at around 9:30 this morning and just a few minutes before we leave we decide on the Lake Berryessa area of Northern Cal Nice driving road, lots of twists coming in from the Napa side, didn't drive up the full length of the lake due to time constraints, but we had a great time....looks like a good area for a future Stingrays cruise

At that store at the intersection of 121 and Steele Park Rd (can never remember the name of that place)

Those two bikes in the background belong to a man/woman cruising in from the Central Valley, cool people and very interested in our cars....not long after this pic was taken the lot was getting filled with more bikes from different groups who obviously had the same idea we did...awesome day for a cruise!

Stopped at Spanish Flat to get the kids a snack

Yes, I've always had them.....inexpensive way to get a polished aluminum wheel that know for certain will fit

They look great....though not correct for the year....they are my favorite wheel for a C3.....and you even blacked out the slot's....which just make them jump out at you! Very, very nice! Thank's for sharing.






Stay in tune.....

Thanks for the replies all

Think when it warms up a little I'm gonna pop the t-tops and check out a couple more local roads(Palomares Rd/ Crow Canyon, you locals know where that is), and enjoy the sun while it lasts

Default Spring is here in MN?

Low 40's today, couldn't resist taking it out for lunch as the snow was gone from the roads and the sun was out.



As much as I and others want Winter to be over, I'm still holding out hope for a big snow storm/blizzard.

Two of the dullest colors seen in a while on Vettes, the red one from lust fits a Vette nicer. Custom colors don't work with Vettes especially when the wheels don't fit the scheme JMO
