Well, I did take a trip to San Francisco followed by a spirited run down Highway 1 and the entire Pacific Coast. Watch for my "Streets of San Francisco" video coming to a Corvette Forum near you.

Here's my "jackpot pic" but I didn't think to set the speed to 77mph the way ADMAN did!





It happened on July 23rd somewhere in the Texas panhandle heading west.

Just a follow up to this previous thread. Funny, it seems so 3,334 miles ago
