Default Stingrays Rule the Day

A nearby casino was hosting a car show yesterday with two Corvette classes: 1953-1982 and 1984-2015. I took all three of my Stingrays and wound up with three awards! My 2014 Stingray took first in its class and my 1964 Sting Ray and 1973 Stingray took first and second in their class. Cash prizes were given with each place as well as an awesome chair with each first place cash award. I wound up leaving with over $300 in cash and prizes! Not a bad day...Stingrays rule!

Congrats, on the great showing.

Obviously, you have a Stingray problem that some of us wouldn't mind dealing with...
