Default great weekend

So I decided to take my GS to the Oshkosh air show for the weekend with my 16 year old son. I just love this car more and more about 200 miles one way averaged 27.6 mpg.. Got a ton of looks. Had to park in a grassy field which was fine. Go to the hotel after the show parked next to Harley's and i had the end spot which was perfect. Left this morning started raining on the way home a bit the windshield wipers worked great car did not break or anything because of the rain... The next test was a huge truck fire on 94 southbound as the truck was engulfed in flames on the right shoulder traffic went to the left lane and boy you could really feel the heat... And the vette.. It did not even melt.. Got home cleaned it all up and put it away.now to find a new adventure.. Good I love this car... Also I hope that trucker made it out of his truck.. When I passed it the firemen where just getting there houses out of the truck
