Default A Good Day

Nice Sunny day here in Arkansas. My wife asked me to come in to town to have lunch with her. So I jumped in the vette and started cruising down the two lane country road about 60 MPH. came up on a pick up doing about 52. As soon as I got a chance to pass I checked my six and changed my mind. There was a state trooper sitting on my bumper. Well I guess I can do 52mph for a while. Finally got to a section of two lane and I got up to speed again the Trooper passes me grinning and gave a wave. Always check your six. ANyway in town I came up on a shark got a wave, A VR C6 vert, got a wave and then a mag red C5 and got a wave. But wait the best is yet to come. On the way home I met a car hauler with about 10 C6s on it and I got a big wave from the driver. Yup a good day to be in a vette.

It's a great day here in Houston to be out in the Vett, also. I'll wave if I see you. Enjoy the great weather while you can.

Not bad - lots of Vettes out, waves galore, and a cool state trooper.
