Default Started off the New Year right!!!
A large group of Porsches takes a New Years Day Cruise every year. A few of us Vette guys went out with them yesterday, and had a blast! Nice cruise, and all 75 cars came home in one piece!

The C6 ran great, and performed well all morning. While the cruise was not on the level that some of us like to go out and do, it still would not be approved if I showed the full video here.

This is a short teaser vid from the take off on our picture taking stop off...

Sorry, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

JB

Looks like one of the first Porsches wasn't about to let you stay in first . . . even though you could have.

Those 2 Porsches were in front the whole time, and knew the route. Ric and I were right behind them all morning, they were both very cool!

I delt with the freezing cold for 25 years growing up and going to school in upstate NY. I went to Niskayuna!

I've been in California for almost 20 years, you can't beat it!!!

Stay warm, and check your PM box...
