This morning I went to the McDonald's, in Cynthiana, for a cup of coffee. It was a bright, beautiful late-summer day. I pulled into the angled parking spots close to the drive-through lane. Within a few seconds I noticed a good-looking gal, in her car in the drive-through lane, with her Blackberry out taking a photo of the Vette. She smiled and waved. I, of course, waved back.

It made me feel good. I wish now I'd attempted to strike up a conversation. Oh well...

I've seen Vettes I thought looked great in every color, but it's hard to ignore Millennium Yellow.

Hah! Yesterday I parked at Soledad mountain park and when I got back to my car an Asian guy was photographing it with a huge camera.

I screwed that up, too.
