Default I Went to Two Shows Yesterday - A Bunch of Pics!!!

I had a fun "car day" yesterday and attended two shows and took a lot of pictures. I decided to follow a few other Corvette owners on the way home who knew of a "short cut" and ended up getting turned around. Plus the scenic neighborhood we drove through had those nasty speed humps.

The first show was a Corvette-only show sponsored by a local dealer in Clearwater Fl. It was a charity event that helped local disabled veterans.

The second (evening) show was an open show sponsored by a local Chicago-style pizza restaurant in Bradenton.

Both were a lot of fun and even though I took over 100 photos, I forgot to take one of my car. Enjoy the pics!

Are aftermarket wheels illegal in FL? With the exception of the white C5 convertible wearing Torq-Thrust style wheels, every C5 and C6 pictured has OEM or replica OEM wheels. Weird. LOL

Great pictures, and looked like a nice show!

I'm jealous. It's raining in Washington.

Ugh.

Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of my car that has aftermarket wheels. There are a few Corvettes I've seen at other local shows with aftermarket wheels, however the owners didn't show up yesterday.

Hopefully, this helps.
