Sometimes I just get in and go, even if for no reason at all. I was heading West and saw the sun going down and figured I'd stop for a bit: these are the types of moments that make this car great:

Some of the best drives are the ones you don't plan. Make it up as you go.....next thing you know you're somewhere. LOL.

Nice pics... Sweet wheels! I may be biased as I just put these on my cars and removed the black ones.

Thanks for sharing. It is a good feeling to just hop in and go...as Chuck Berry sang, "cruising around in my automobile...no particular place to go"

Any chance to get behind the wheel and cruise down the road is a good time. That first pic would make for a great poster in your garage.

A beautiful sunset just isn't the same with my '15 Nissan Altima or my old Silverado. Sigh!

Hope to be in the C7 Club by next spring, though. :-)

Thanks... wish I had taken it, I was standing right there and dumb me never thought to take a picture with the car framed this way. In fact I appear to have not taken a single photo at this stop. Lucky for me my friend Rob is pretty savvy with the DSLR and created me this gem.

I have been looking closer at other CF members photo composition and am working to improve mine for future photo opportunities.

I really like the threatening storm behind the red C7 photo, figure if I look at enough good photos maybe something will rub off.
