Parade

Drove my car in a small parade yesterday and most, while having seen Corvettes thought mine was a special edition with it's comp gray wheels and racing stripes.

No one screamed, Hate your car. Only one kid thought it was a Viper.

i dont like the grey wheels, they look like the wheels are just dirty,, i dont like any stripes on the vette at all,,, and yet, there is something terrific about the way your car looks,,, it was well thought out, and very very striking.

Speaking of parades, does anyone know of anybody making a set of flags to mount in the front mounting holes for the coupe roof?

We've used a set for years on the C4, but (ugh) those holes are threaded. And no, I don't miss all that screwin' to get the roof in and out....

I guess that means the snow has melted. Oh yes, I see green grass on your avatar.

Did anyone get pics of the parade?

Lots of pictures were being taken plus I saw more than one taking a video. One hand held and one on a tripod. Do I have any? No!

Did make me wish I had an auto for that 1/2 hour though!

Snow has finally all melted!
