Actually, the C7 is terribly distorted by the lens/camera. To me, it's not good enough to be a Facebook Friday's photo.

Flame suit on.

Seriously?

A better question is: Why can't Corvette Forum's Editor understand (1) that in the English language, apostrophes NEVER but NEVER signify the plural and (2) the difference between "to" and "too"? How in the world does one get paid to write for the world's leading Corvette site without having his eighth grade English grammar under control?

It's supposed to be that way.

This photo is almost right (pun intended). Compositionally, it would be a little better if the train was a little to the right, and the vanishing point wasn't as centered. Frankly, this photo is one of the best I've seen recently.
