Default Out for a ride and oil change....

Drove over to Criswell Chevrolet, on the other side of the Potomac River, to get oil change, and say hi to Mike Furman. One of the routes you can take is across Whites Ferry, actual small Ferry that crosses the Potomac, and cuts travel time almost in half. For some reason it was very quiet at the Ferry, very few cars, and provided great opportunity to snap a couple of photos, here are the results.

I'm not usually a "racing stripes" guy, but that color combo is REALLY sweet!

Love the car. Love White's ferry since childhood. Next trip snap a pic with your car on the ferry.

Wow, what was the drive on/drive off experience like? I have always wanted to try it, but was afraid of bottoming out.

Amazing Vette and photos.
Makes me want to add stripes to the black stinger on my Blade silver GS,
and I'm not a stripe person either.

Four dollars one way... No problem, go slow, I have very low front splitter and just take it slow, got on and off, easy peazy.
