MOSTLY C5's!!!
Well I survived the trip to Atlanta and back driving my F-150 Super Crew and bringing my wife's old aunti back(that's why I couldn't take the FRC
)!! Naturally my eyes were peeled for vets all the way down and back!! I actually saw quite a few,,more on the way down,,but some on the way back!! Low and behold by far,,most were C5's,,by a WIDE margin!! Saw some REALLY sharp ones too!!Saw 2-C3's,,1-C4,,2 C6's,,,,but about 12-C5's. Sitting high in the truck,,could spot the running lights pretty far off,,except for a Pewter coupe that had them off,,,almost missed him
!!Back home,,looking at the weather forecast,,kinda iffy looking,,but appears to be clearing,,gotta get her out,,maybe take the wife out to dinner in the FRC,,,I REALLY missed it,,hope the wife doesn't get jealous!!Glad to see there are some REAL C5 owners out there putting miles on them!!!

Know what you mean!!! I REALLY got lucky this time!! Auntie USED to be a real hand full,,and I was anticipating 600+ mile of nagging and griping!! Turns out 20years has taken it's toll and she was quiet as a mouse!! Other than having to drive my Super Crew instead of my FRC,,it wasn't bad!! A few times traffic was a real Biatch,, but overall was a lot better than I anticipated. Passed a most of the time watching for vets and troopers!!Glad it's over though!!
