But pictures are nice. Open an account with photobucket.com (it's free), upload the photos, and post them. Photobucket has an option for adding the image tag to the photo.

I know what you mean about being humble. It is weird how my neighbors greet me with a genuine smile now instead of the "neighbor smile". Other vehicles will drive to catch up to me to sneak a peak. It seems like I even get more respect in a parking spot with people parking with plenty of space between us.
I have already gotten the other Corvette owners throwing their arm out of their window to give the wave.
I love it.
Oh did I mention that it is crazy fast... not fast, but crazy fast. My 4 year old son loves accelerating and we got on the highway the other day and I let it go through first and second. I look over and his head is pinned to the back of the seat with an "oh my god" look on his face. I asked if he was ok, he said yes. I said, "that was fast, huh?" and he just started laughing and agreed... Priceless
