Default Glamour Shots!

How about posting a few late summer / Fall glamour shots. Here is my new to me 1998 C5. Wow are we lucky to have these grown up toys! Picked this up a month ago, I wish I had not waited so long for my first Vette.

Nice C5, and it would be great to see some shots of the other cars in your garage.

Welcome and thanks for your "glamor shots."
I'm with the others and would like to see photos of the rest of your garage "occupants."

Those two beauties, belong to my 79 year old Dad, who is nice enough to let me park my Vette in his garage when I visit. He hods on (and still drives) his 1956 (owned for over 40 years) Porsche Speedster, and the other is his NW Conference Champion Racer (as race driver) a 1969 Datsun 510. I thought it was a fun photo with all 3 of them in there.

I'll pull them out and post after my next visit.

Wow! Congrats on your C5, looks very well kept. Also like the 356 (I'm an old Porsche guy!) and what appears to be an AMC (Scrambler?). Best of luck with your C5, they are very enjoyable cars.

LOL, I thought that it was a S/CRambler too. He said it's a Datsun 510.

Me three!

Nice shots of good looking cars!

Soooo I'm all over the place. Had you asked me yesterday I would have sworn I'm buying a 50th Anniversary coupe...so what kind of luggage space you got in a C5 convertible?
