Default 30 minute cruze...

Beautuiful day in North Dallas, sun and 78 degrees. Drove up and down the Preston strip for 30 minutes, 3 C5's, 1 blue Z06, a bad azz red C3 with a big thumping cam, an early camero with great sounding pipes, a good looking red with white stipes AMC Javelin, a hand full of 350z's and 'stangs.

All this and I end up at a stop light with a Harley and 500 CL Benz vert....

Just a beautiful day! Only wish I had more time to enjoy it. Hope you snow birds can get out and about soon!

My brother lives in Carrollton and I'm going to fly there at the end of the month to visit him. Where do people cruise and hang out on that end of town? If we're out one of the nights maybe we'll go look at cars of the area. He says there's some huge Corvette dealer near him also. Just something to do while I'm there ... without my C5.

Preston strip is in Plano, runs north from Bush tollway to Legacy.

The area arround Park and Parker is really cooking, can see anthing from Lambo's to high-boys on Saturdays and Sundays, day or night. Vettes are all over the place. Folks are just out crusin to be seen. Some interesting things happening at the stop lights.

1st Saturday of each month Xtreme Corvettes has their show near by, check their website for details.

21st Cent MC is just south of Plano, in Carolton. They are the only authorized Ligenfelter dealer/instaler outside of Indiana and are open Saturday mornings. They have some beautiful vette eye candy and are definitly worth a look-see.

Come see us in Plano!

Sounds like a very nice day to be out. I took a cruise up to Kansas City Saturday night and came back on Sunday. Beautiful day and felt good to get behind the wheel again.
