I 10 through Tucson, I put the hammer down on the F150 4X4 to catch up to a Velocity Yellow coupe that I had seen from nearly a mile back. Blew his doors off with a full 5.4 liters of bad boy Ford V8 power. Well, the coupe was perched high up on a transporter so it was catching a lot of wind. Hope it was parked in reverse. I was then cruising next to a full complement of C6's running out of Tucson. Tough to document them all at 70 mph on busy I 10, not worth dying for. But besides the easy to spot yellow coupe, a MR/Bl cv (like ours) was hanging precariously off the top back, a DSOM/Tan cv (likely wouldn't buy one but a gorgeous car) was midships downstairs. Several black cars and LMB/MS coupes. Better than a half million worth in smart formation. Christmas is coming early to a host of new owners from Phoenix to parts west. Hope one is your!
