We always enjoy the mountains, and The Dragon is a great ride, I would recommend that ride for anyone with a Vette or Motorcycle, it's a blast.
We are going back in Oct

Great pictures! I agree with the OP that the C6 is an amazing road car. Bought mine on the east coast and drove it home 1800 miles to the west coast. Most fun I've ever had with my clothes on.

Living here in the Smoky Mountains, I know how much the C6 was made for these roads! Now you know why I'm always smilin'. I've got over 30,000 miles of mostly back mountain miles in the last 3 years. Sounds like you had a great trip!

Y'all come back now, ya hear?

Gonna order most if not all of them. That seems like a great little business...... maybe when I retire and start my next career.
