Default Turquoise Vette Pix?

OK, so if you would have asked me a couple weeks ago, I would have told you that I didn't care for the color. But after looking at some pix recently, I kinda dig it.

Anyone have nice pix of their '91 or '92 that they can share? Looking for desktop wallpaper quality stuff. HiRes.

What do other people say about the color? I rekon for most it is a love it or hate it color.

For me, it's not my favorite, but I think I like it.

Thanks!

In my experience most people love it, though they might not choose it for their Corvette.

Ha ha... Not sure quite what to make of that.

I know a couple members have them. Hopefully they will post up with some eye candy! I'm not sure what wheels would work best on this color. Probably chrome. But maybe all black or all gunmetal with no polished lip could be cool.

I have a pic of a Turq DRM ZR1 with Fiske 5s on it. Very nice! I'm a sucker for CCW Classics and a few of their other styles. Fiske 10s are really cool too. Not exactly sure of the model designations, but I'm close...

If somebody can share a straight on side view, then I can go lock myself in my room with my Photoshop program. :o

To me it doesn't quite look right. When I was looking for mine I came across one that was well priced and in good condition in my area, and I couldn't even bring myself to drive it!

Excellent! Thanks everyone! Great pix!


RedGS, I have that photo as one of my desktop photos at work. For some reason, I couldn't find it again here at home. Love it!

Z-07 Freak, super cool photos! I think I've been to a couple of those places. Once I get my car (geez, ya think it might actually happen this time?) I hope to meet up with some of the forum members. I remember you making fun of that color a couple days ago. I didn't look at your photos then, but I figured (after reading many of your posts over the years) that you probably had a Turquoise car. Such a smartass...

Very sharp '90 there, All2Kool! You can be proud of that one!

If all goes well, I should have a car by the middle of this month.

Any vert pix for our friend Mike?

Hey, I'm really sorry I couldn't get my money in time to buy your car. I never asked you to hold it for me. The only thing I asked you for were pictures. And that was partially so I could host them to help you sell your car! You don't have to be an *** about it.

You sold it, to someone else. What's your problem?
