Default Finally did it!

Son is visiting for a few days and he loves Corvettes. Taught him how to drive a stick with my 2001 C5 when he was 15.
Today we drove over to drive the Tail of the Dragon so he could get some drive time in the C7 and it was an absolute blast! I always viewed driving this road as a novelty at best but I couldn't of been more wrong. It was like a legal race track.
Cant wait to go back and try it again. What a great way to spend the day.

Second post today talking about the Tail of the Dragon. We've got a few nice drives in Washington but not one as legendary as that.

Sounds like an awesome day with your son. Post a couple pics next time you guys do that drive!
