Parked or running that is a pretty nice looking car.

What is the paint colour? Very nice.

I've gone to a few cruise ins with my car over the past year. It is a great way to meet other Vette owners as well as check out others classic and muscle cars.

We have a plenty of cruise nights in our area. Our Friday night spot usually averages 400+ cars and the Saturday night spot is about 300 cars.

Always fun to see what shows up!

Going to car shows/cruise-ins is a great way to meet new people and have a good time.

Great looking car you have there.

I really enjoy going to cruise nights. Seeing all the different types of muscle and sports cars is so interesting.

I still don't understand why alot of Vette owners show their cars but leave the windows up and hoods closed. Why bother showing just the outside. I've also seen do not touch signs on the windshield.

Pretty frickin' boring, isn't it!! But it is the way I got into the Crovette group I'm hanging out with. Most are pretty cool and I'm glad I met them. I'm one of the odd ball ones though. I let kids or whoever wants to sit in it, sit in it. I don't even mind getting the occasional finger prints on it. They do clean off.

I prefer the cruise in type of environment. Judged car shows are lame though.

I always have kids in my car with parents taking pics. Kids are always surprised and parent are typically appreciative. Hopefully a win-win for all involved.
