Default WOW! Pic inside!

I live in a small town in the mountains of NC where you rarely see a Vette drive by.. So it was pretty cool to see this at a local country restaurant .. I couldn't even get them all in the picture! Think I counted 140 or so, any of you in this crowd?

Apparently was a few small clubs that get together once a year to drive up here to see the fall colors on the Blue Ridge Parkway , etc
