Well it finally happened

It's actually stopped raining here in San Antonio for longer than 10 minutes.

So before it had a chance to start up again, here's some quick pics of my ride. Sorry about the quality of the photos, as it is still very overcast and my old Canon digital ain't the best in the world. It's a start though. The last pic summarizes the weather and skies of late here in Texas. Thanks for looking.

Thanks, I appreciate that. The pics were taken on FM78 near Converse, the lair of Peter Pan and his monster Vette.

O.K. I know where that's at (near the H.E.B. Warehouse), I used to live in Converse, Texas for a couple of years. Isn't the New Drag Strip out towards that direction off I-10.

Yeah, the HEB warehouse is back up Rittiman towards 35 from where I took these pics. San Antonio Raceway is about five miles from where I live. It's located at 10 & Santa Clara Rd, which is just east of 1516. My place is right near 1516 & Binz Engleman.

I usually don't hangout here much, but was surfing and found your pics. Very, very nice! I love the lines of the '04 Coupe. I had to laugh because I won't take my vette out in the rain, either.

We almost always have sunshine here, although these pics were taken at sunset.
