Default Great time at CI7!!

I posted before with bad news at the 1st day at cruise in 7, but now it's all about the good stuff. We had a great time at CI7, and it was our 1st time, with more to come. Unfortunately we couldn't make the Baymont Inn's gathering, but definitely next time! Met some great people and awesome cars! here's some pics....

Of course Z06-Jim and GB vette's beautiful cars(would've won if it wasn't for those blasted 2 C3's, hehe....





ME....

Went last year for the first time, had a FANTASTIC time. Met alot of great people and some cool cars.

Since I sold my C5 to my father-in-law, I felt stupid showing up in my truck. My father-in-law even offered to let me drive the car down there but I didn't feel right using his car.

Besides, work is crazy trying to get another shop open and I can't afford to leave until it's up and running.

I've been thinking about ya'll. Have a great and safe time.

Mark

Mark, we all missed seeing you and Amy there.

Lots of people were there in rental cars, even some <gasp> Canadians.
Not having a Vette isn't an excuse.

Good luck with the new shop.
