Default I'm Lovin' It!

Less than 3 weeks of ownership and I can't wipe the grin off my face whenever I'm behind the wheel.

Here are some photos of an early drive this morning. Highway 74 (Ortega Hwy.) San Juan Capistrano to Lake Elsinore. Stopped at Hell's Kitchen to shoot these. I ride this road regularly on my Harley but this morning was particularly thrilling!!

Check out the marquee in front. You might imagine this is a biker hangout even before the bikes show up.

Enjoy your ride Bro, beautiful .
I used to drive the Ortega every day in the early 80's for work but when they opened it to material truck and trailers it became way to DANGEROUS, if fact it was once known was the most dangerous stretch of highway in So Cal.
I got thrills when the café Racers would pass you in turns at high speeds, crazy bastards
So be careful Is the "Candy Store " still there

I was never that much into red cars ... but that color red is just FANTASTIC !

Isn't that called 'Crystal Red Metalic Tintcoat" ... or something like that ?

Anyway, your GS is beautiful

The C6 Grand Sport is, without a doubt the best looking Corvette of all time.

Yes, it can be crazy and I've seen my share of "incidents" on that highway. I once rode up on a medevac heliport extraction at about 150' canyon drop. That was not fun to watch. Regarding the passing in turns at high speed, when on my Harley I keep one eye forward and the other eye in my mirrors. It is quite exhilarating however to come around a left hand sweeper and find a sport bike coming the other way........1/3 into your lane

That's when you're glad your hugging the mountain side of the road.

But it's all good!

And yes! the Candy Store is still there. But I've never been inside.
