Default How much do you think Chevrolet would pay for this picture
I just got my enlargement back from the BMW Octoberfast event at Road America, the trees were in full color. Conditions were perfect and I had an awesome time driving the new Vette on the track.

Without at doubt the most capable car I have ever driven on the race track. This picture just makes me fall in love with the car all over again. This has to sustain me until spring the car is now put away for the winter.

I live in the northeast and suffered through some nasty winters(as a lot of you have) .I have 3 vettes and 2 Harley's that are exercised through out the season. Having anything with Pistons sit idle 4 months worries me. And nice pic.

It's supposed to be a time when the colors of the trees change. I have heard of it before, but I have never seen it.

October of last year, one of my favorites. Beautiful car, track and
weather.

I could create that picture on Gran Turismo or Forza so I would say zero, zilch, nada.

Sure, I'll pile on...

It looks like your car doesn't have any wheels.

Boy this forum is about as much fun as going to the dentist.

I was making a joke about selling, just how ironic that a new C7 was under the bridge.

The picture is a scan it is not out of focus......have a great day.

That's not ironic; it's a coincidence.
