Default A Great Weekend!

Got the coupe washed and pretty and decided to take a cruise around Williamsburg when the wife got home from work. Took the top off (first time ever!) and enjoyed springtime in VA (pollen and all, but what the heck?) Struck up a converstation with a couple in a G35 coupe at a traffic signal...drove side-by-side for a mile or so until we turned off for a tour of the Restored Area. Must have driven 50 miles or so, all around places we hadn't seen in quite a while. It still amazes me at the looks a slow-moving Corvette gets from everyone as you pass by...man, I love this car!
