Default PICS - Last cruise before winter storage

Weather was perfect today for a nice fall cruise and will probably be one of the last before placing the car in storage. Relorien and I had some fun on a few back roads in central Missouri. A couple of pictures.

Looks like you were at the river access by the bridge. Nice pics of your cars. I hope to get my car out either tomorrow or Sunday for a cruise. Time is running out for the nice weather.

Thanks all! It was a perfect day for some spirited runs. Vetteman Jack, yep, right at the river landing. If you are headed there tomorrow, heads up. There is a fall event there tomorrow. Don't know anything about it but folks were setting up for it this morning. May be busy out there late morning through the afternoon. It is perfect weather for some back road fun.

Thanks for the nice shots.

I have a question though not specifically directed at the OP but rather the forum in general.

How do you get your vettes to these rural locations without a single bug splat?

Granted, mine is black, but I live in a very rural area and if I drive it 3 miles to the nearest stop sign, and with the grasshoppers around here, mine looks like it's been worked over with a yellow and green paintball gun.

Do you detail them at the rural locations or haul them in on enclosed trailers?

I really would like to know as I cannot remember the last time I saw a forum picture with so much as one bug splat on it.

Thanks.

Jim

Hey Jim, there are no bugs in Missouri! Really, it was a cool morning and bugs were not out very much yet. I did bring some quick detailing spray, just in case.

Thanks on the color, it is Atomic Orange.

A color, that in my opinion, should have been available on the C5.

Agreed. Looks great on the C6, but looks much better on the C5!
