I know it looks like a ghost town in that 1st pic, but that was 7am, just showing up with fellow CF members, after an EARLY breakfast. Here is what Corvette row looks like, once things start rolling...[IMG][/IMG]

Looks nice! I do like the rolling shots best. Is the location of the C&C that place where the guy created a bunch of parking garages and sells them to the public? I saw a news story about that place.
