Default Christmas with a Corvette

Had to pick up the Family Christmas tree and the Cavalier just wasn't gonna cut it. So I took the Z06!!



Don't worry all the paint is covered so is the headliner and window molding!

In my old C3 vert I have carried Christmas trees, rolls of carpet, a 90 pound Golden retriever, water bed frames, and a bunch of stuff I don't even remember.
