Default More Driving Fun... Something different!

This is Corvette related because I am a Corvette Driver who loves to drive.

So, the wife pulled me away from work and we spent a few days down in Cabo. Of course, vettes don't fit in carry on luggage. I had to find something else to drive! The pictures are below!!!!!!! Woo Hooo!!

Max speed 70-80 mph with your backend gettin loose. The Baja car had a helluva suspension. Landing the jumps was softer than I expected. Manual tranny with a quick little Subaru engine. Lots of fun!!!

I did actually see a very nice 95-96 red convertible down in Mexico while I was visiting!









If you are ever in Cabo you just gotta try this !!!! WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!

I did the Hawaii thing a few years ago. I would recommend, believe it or not, the bicycle trip down the Volcano on Maui. You don't have to be lance Armstrong as you coast all the way down from 10,000 feet. The outfitters also on several of the islands have cool ATV trips! We did a catamaran excursion on the Napali Coast that was super cool and of course you can learn to surf! Have fun. I have never regretted a $ spent on R&R!!!
