West Side Market, Sokolowski's, that whole area. Hidden gems.

Our office in Cuyahoga Hts is across the street from a steel wire mill. By noon, every car in the parking lot is dirty. Wish I could take the Vette to work.

I'm driving out of town this weekend. Unfortunately not in the Vette though. (Not sure why daughter won't ride in the back.)

So many cops on 71 once you get up to 82.

Red interior looks a lot better than I thought it would with NRB

Not because of Cops just traffic volume. It's very rare that you see any cops set up north bound during morning rush hour. If they are I get alerts from my fellow Wazers.

My Porsche buddy loves Waze. Interestingly though while we were driving to the Pittsburgh Cars n Coffee (great show) it was his keen eyesight that saved us from tickets.

Unfortunately for that soccer mom in her Kia SUV her eyesight wasn't as good. At first she seemed rather pleased to be passing a Vette, Boxster and BMW M6. I wonder if it ever dawned on her why the three of us had slowed down.

I agree. Crazy volumes there heading towards lane reductions near Brookpark and the I-480 cross. I frequently get on I-71 north at Bagley heading right into that. I bet there will be a major construction project to fix that one day soon, which will be painful to deal with. Ohio does a much better jobs with their roads than most states I've travelled through, but you're always cursing the construction and grinning when it's done.

"My Porsche buddy loves Waze. Interestingly though while we were driving to the Pittsburgh Cars n Coffee (great show) it was his keen eyesight that saved us from tickets." That's understandable since people from the Pittsburgh area probably can't figure out how the Waze works

Just back from Mountain run and visit to BG. Picked up mid March after determined search to find NRB with Kalahari.




Really enjoyed the roads and the car, what a way to put the first 3k on the odo.

Well, it got polished like the rest of the car. . . .

If you're referring to the SC, that's because it's a Callaway.
