Default Big Day - 1st pics!

Hope this works, these are a few pics from today, bringing the mag red C5 home.

On the road:


At a REST AREA on I-5 in WA:


At home (the 01 MR2 Spyder will be bought by my #2 son and booted out of the garage, where the C5 will be parked):


The indoor lighting doesn't do the mag red justice in the last pic. More pics to come later! Awesome day!! Jon
