Default Old school

Taking the old school C6 for a spin today.

360 mile round trip up to a friends ranch to do some target shooting.

He has an array of hand guns and I'll be getting in some practice with my 92FS too.

Looking forward to the drive, even knowing that my pride and joy is now considered to be obsolete, so to speak.

Admittedly I am sure the ride will be as joyous as ever...

Very cool sitting behind the wheel in a C6.

It will be quite a few years till the C6 is considered old school.

Who considers it obsolete? I dont. People will never stop looking at and admiring a C6 no matter what comes after it and I will never not feel proud driving mine.

I am a fan of the 92FS.

I had a Taurus PT 99 AF. December 1994 build date. Great weapon and I got it off the original owner who was a State Trooper (he traded it at my friends shop). It was like new in the original box and he said shot less than 50 times. I believe it when I tore it down becaue lands were barely marked.

Be safe and have fun.

Enjoy the day, hard to call your C6 old school and obsolete without any C7 Vettes on the road or in showrooms.

I think the C6 just moved into the "easy on the eyes" category. Definitely not "old school"

Have a sweet ride there and enjoy the car. The C6's will always remain a gorgeous Vette...

The C6 now is a classic. Just because the C7 is out doesn't mean the C6 isn't any less of a stunner.

The C7 isn't out yet, try to get one. It has just been previewed as a coming attraction. I will upgrade when the dust settles, until then got to ruff it in the C6.
