Default This Week's Friday Gathering...

We had the best Corvette turnout yet, a "Murderer's Row" of Corvettes tonight.
A 2024 HTC, my 2002 Z51, a 2004 Le Mans Commemorative Edition, 2020 C8 Coupe and a 1976 SR.
Then later we had a 2016 C7 and a 1988 C4, Father and Son pair join us.

Rainout last night.
I went by, had to pick up prescriptions at Kroger pharmacy, wasn't raining when I got there, but was going pretty good when I came out.
Only one other car, a streetrod, showed up.
Forecast not looking real promising for next Friday, but the weather changes a lot in a week.

Pretty good turnout tonight even though it had sprinkled rain earlier, rained out the last two weeks.
Got to ride in a FERRARI 360 SPIDER for the first time tonight!!!
My friend with the Elkhart Blue 2020 C8 bought it and finally got it delivered 2 weeks ago.
Had a new guy show up, a Corvette owner, a 1966 C2 vert 427/425 4 spd, over 104,000 miles on it.
