Default 50k!!!

No not posts on CorvetteForum but miles...



I've had this one for just over two years and it had 15K when I bought her off eBay out of Houston. I put 35K miles on her since then and have at least 35K smiles and almost 35K pictures. I thought I would share some of my favorite pics...

The first really nice pic of her. This is in west Texas while driving her home. The wildflowers were in bloom so I took an offramp and took this pic. This remains one of my favorites.



Back home at a street near my house.



This is on the 50th Celebration Caravan somewhere in Utah. We just happened to have a gaggle of red ones together and I was yelling to my wife, "Take the picture, take the picture!"



At the NCM.



I had to take a pic at our local lake to show off the new wheels.



Part of a Red Vette Gathering in Reno. All 6 generations...all in red!



Showing off fall colors.



And finally, some spring colors also.



Thanks for letting me brag. Now on to another 50K.

Congrats on turing over 50k. Beautiful pics. I remember seeing some of those in earlier posts. I missed my 50 pic. I was on the highway driving home from Bowling Green last year. Here's to 50k more and then some.
