Default Hopefully, The first of many

We're on our way out for our first Christmas Eve cruise in the Corvette to look at lights and enjoy the brisk evening air. Tops off and bundled up. This is Arizona, but it's still only 50 degrees out right now. Should be a blast!

This is something that I had hoped we could achieve by this December and we made it.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Merry Christmas Adam... And Rog. Very jealous. It's snowing like crazy up here in Michigan, which is very nice, especially tonight, so no Vettin for me.

Happy holidays all.

Just got back and the car ran great. About 2 1/2 hours or so. We didn't take the camera with us - just kicked back and burned up some fuel Some of the neighborhoods were really done up nice - people out grilling etc. Several block parties going on from the looks of it.

Thinking we'll try and get out one more time before all the lights come down. Maybe we'll take the camera with next time.

We did the same thing. Grabbed some early dinner at one place then went to our favorite waterfront rest/bar and visited with friends who work there. Once it got dark we cruised down A1A though it was to dark to see the ocean and found very few houses/mansions were decorated.

Got back to our neighborhood and checked out what decorating was done. You could easily tell this year is different since many homes that normally decorate either didn't or did very little.

Main thing was cruising with the heater on in our balmy 69 degree temps. I think a ride along the ocean will be part of the afternoon plans.

Merry Christmas everyone

I'm jealous. Been awhile since I've been active on this site. Did you get final paint done?

Would have driven mine today, if I didn't need to haul others and Christmas presents around. It was a nice day in central VA.
