Default All Red Vettes

Tonight at the local cruise in, we had 15 vettes on the lot. Wished I taken my camera, but I never thought I would see such a site. We had 1 C2, several C3's, 4's 5's and 6's, and they were all RED and parked together. The only one missing was a C1. It was an amazing site to see so many red vettes at one time.

Very unusual that they would all be red. Would have been quite a sight.

hard to believe you had no camera, even a cell phone pic would have been nice.

no one with you had a cell phone with a camera?

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe everyone was in such awe that the thought they had a camera right there in their pocket or purse never occurred to them. I'd feel like cr@p if I wished I had a camera, and HAD a camera.
