Looks like this one's not happening. Next!

Every time I have one, somebody beats me to it and then posts something that stops the thread.

Let's give hammerdown a few hours to post a neww challenge. Others, including me, have picked new challenges when their initial ones didn't work out. If nothing new in 12 hours, in the spirit of the game (and rules) I will post something new. Sound fair?

Ok, 12 hours is up, sorry hammerdwn, but to keep this thread moving, the next challenge is:

Your C5 carrying audio and/or video equipment, mounted or otherwise (the or part to keep it simple and get things moving). And no, the stock stuff just won't do.

This one is wide open to interpretation but one interpretation for bonus points would be if you are playing GT5 or FM4 on a screen in your Corvette while racing a Corvette on the screen.

Thanks. Senior members could take advantage of the "otherwise" clause if they are taking a turn table home that they just bought at a swap meet.

Hehe, I figured for my first one I'd give everyone a stumper. This is end of model year for GM so they'll be retooling the assembly plants very soon for the 2013 models, so finding a brand new Vette from the assembly line is going to be a tricky one at this time of year.

That and I couldn't think of anything else.
