Default First Car Show
Entered my new 69, and my son entered his (aka my) 79 into a local car show today. There were only 3 corvettes in the C1 thru C4 category (all c3's), but we got first and second place (69 got 1st, 79 got 2nd). And I got to spend the day with my son, so a win-win-win.

And the third C3 said he was also a corvette forum member, but I didn't think to ask for his online name - 'Ern 72', are you out there?

Congratulations on the car show awards but the real award is sharing a day with your son.

Yes, I do, because he just replaced them, after his original set 'somehow' was almost bald after 5000 miles....

He has 275/60/15s on the rear, and 255/60/15s on the front. I personally like the look of 255/60/15's on all four corners, but he paid for the tires, so I left it up to him.
