Default Nice!

Looking good! Nice IMSA decal. The new C8-R on the track should be interesting. We have joined the Corvette Corrals at Road America, Sebring, and Road Atlanta. Fun times!

I used to work for the company that printed all of their (IMSA) media stuff. It was in Tampa and every year they invited me to Sebring. Dumb me, I was trying hard to climb the company ladder and kept my nose to the grind stone and declined every time. I was such an idiot. This was 20+ years ago, and trust me when I say, that will never happen again.

*Edit: BWF07, your car looks awesome

Bob Hope was a true friend of the troops.
Just can't pass up a quote from "Full Metal Jacket" about Ann Margret. " I want to see lots of ____ and early morning dew".
Our flight back "to the world" had a stop over on Guam for fuel. No show!

Thanks for your service.

No, Monterey Red Metallic. The went to the Crystal Red in '08. It is just s little lighter then the Monterey Red. Hard to tell unless you have one of each side by side.

Ok, got it. They are certainly close in color. I asked because I just got one that is CRMT with silver Z06 wheels and I really like the black wheels on yours. I have been looking for pictures showing that type of set up, but haven't found any. Until yours. Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.
