Default Happy Holidays Everyone!

Hey Everyone!

Sadly I had to move on from my c5 a few years ago, but while I owned it I enjoyed every moment of it.

Every holiday season I see these photos pop up and I thought I'd share them with those of you that don't frequent social media.

I believe this was about a week before Christmas in 2009.

Please save your negative comments, I know not everyone would do this with their car. But to me, I spent the money and I had no intention of ever letting it sit in the garage unused regardless of the season.

Merry Christmas and enjoy!

















And last year a local forum used one of the photos for December in their calendar!




Obviously I couldn't take the photos as I was driving. Photo credit goes to a good friend of mine, Zachary Ulrich.


Take care!

-Jason

That first pic is awesome. I don't drive mine in the snow anymore, but you're right - they can be driven all year around.

Thanks guys!

My family had a great Christmas. It wasn't nearly as fun getting the tree like a normal person with my truck this year, but you can't be young and spontaneous forever.

I hope you all had a great Christmas as well!
