Default A perfect Corvette day

We had a perfect Corvette day today. 100 mile 5 Bridges Run. Gorgeous weather, 45 beautiful Corvettes, from C1 to C6Z06, wonderful people, and great food at the end. Then the wife and I did another 200 miles "research" for the next cruise. We saw sunrise and sunset from our Vette today, and ate at two great seafood restaraunts. We saw cranes and dolphins. We saw a speed that Cannot Be Mentioned on CF. To quote Frank Zappa, it's just frickin' GREAT to be alive!

Here's a post from another CF member who was on the run, with pics.

For those of you suffering through winter storms, there is a spring, and a Florida. There is! Hang in there!

Ice and freezing drizzle most of the day here, but it will pass soon enough, at least it wasn't normal Roswell, NM snow (dust and flying weeds) Florida sounds real good about now.
