C4 of Year Finalist (appearance mods) 2019
August 2017 Calendar
August is a great month to visit The National Corvette Museum. Take your C4 to Bowling Green, KY. Take a spin on the track, tour the museum and schedule a visit of the Corvette factory to watch them being built.

Thank you very much. I enjoy making them and I get a kick out of hearing other people enjoy them, too.

A lot of it is the photo is somehow connected with what's happening around the country each month.
Example: May = Pace Car / July = Red, White & Blue. So pics with flags in them happen often. / Fall scenes in Fall
Plus, I like to use a photo that has something interesting in it. A clear pic of a beautiful Corvette(s) with a pleasing background gets my attention.
Not any going on right now until January 2019, but the museum and their new track set-up is definitely worth visiting.

Hi, Fred.
I'm planning on going back in Sept. or Oct. Depends on my work schedule.
Sorry to hear about your friend. Glad to know he's making a recovery. Hope he heals quickly.
I think I will stick to 4 wheels to get around.

(Can't believe all the excitement on the news about it.)
