If its even remotely warm enough the top is off. 40 - 50 I guess. Short hops on the highway ok, longer I usualy put it on.

Take the roof off so we can see the interior too.
Nice pictures and thanks for sharing. It's hard to see in those shots, but I can barely see the red interior. Very unique/cool color combo.

I took mine out yesterday too. Couldn't pass up that weather either. I only lowered the windows though. Nice shots, as usual Bill. Cars looking good too.

They said it; windows need to be down as if you where in da hood bro. No, but really; these cars look super hot with the top off and the windows down.

I have those exact rims on an exact color coupe. Are those o.e.m. C6 wheels (19" rear and 18" front?). The reason I ask is that I just bought this car with runflats and looking to replace. The tire is an 18" and I measured the wheels and they are 19" and 18" (front). I believe they mounted the 18" runflats on a 19" rim. That is possible, correct?

The second picture of your vette is beautiful with that angle.....

A vette looks good at any angle but yeah I agree with that as well lol

My wheels are 17 front and 18 rear after marker C6 Chrome 5 spoke, There is no was you can put an 18 inch tire on a 19 inch wheel. It just wont work.
