As I was turning into the driveway, there were two cop cars with two vettes pulled over. Probably like shooting fish in a barrel for the law. I drove mine, and loved every minute of it.

My other half is coming and hope she won't be bored while I'm in class.
Convince her to ride along. My wife did, and I think she had as much fun as I did.

Default Summer Only Tires ?

If you are driving on the summer-only tires, I'd still go, just be careful to warm them up slowly since the desert can get very cold in the winter mornings.

There was a guy there, retired AF F15 pilot, drove his Z06 cross country all along Route 66.

No need to worry about crowded parking at SM or Pahrump in general.

My wife and I still work and just couldn't take the time to drive from Syracuse NY.
So we did the next best thing and picked up a Z06 100th anniversary at the Vegas Airport to drive over -great fun!
