My new ride...

I picked this car up a week ago today and my wife and I took the week off to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. I live in Vancouver, WA and we have been to Cannon Beach Oregon and up the Columbia River Gorge all the way to our local Stonehenge (see pic).

Anyway, the car is a 2000 Pewter C5 FRC and I'm really enjoying the power. Closest I've had in the past would be a 66 Sunbeam Tiger.

The Vette's already been washed 3 times this week!
