C5 in Autumn

A blast from the past. Some long time forum members may remember this picture from way back when.
My first Corvette. An Electron Blue 2002 Coupe.

Picture taken October 30, 2003, 18 years ago today.

Great picture

I've been looking around for a nice photo op for my millennium yellow C5 which looks great with the turning foliage.

Gives me an idea though, would be nice to have a thread for day 1 pics for posterity. But we've got so many photo threads going on as it is.

We don't have those colors down here. If you like brown, and then more brown, we have that. Beautiful picture.

I remember seeing that pic when it was first posted. It is one of my favorite pics that I have seen here on the forum. Wish we had fall colors like that around here.

Hey, nothing wrong with the desert, palm tress, agaves and saguaros, especially when the snow flies up north!😀

that shot is so good I can't think of any wise guy negative things to say about it.

For example a wise guy might say, How about posting the next shot , where, as predicted in the owners manual, the leaves catch fire from the hot exhaust and burn the thing to the ground.

The yellow car also looks good, but the composition used for that picture is not as strong.

Beautiful car, beautiful composition.

Taken with a potato instead of a camera. Either that or your upload was that of a very low-res, greatly over-compressed image. You might still have the original file on your camera/phone. Upload that instead!
