hey guys! Sorry I haven’t posted much these last couple days. As Marcho said, that’s pretty much exactly what happened. Plus my lady was getting displeased with me that I was spending so much time with you guys instead of her lol

we booked it back home from Phoenix and LA. Just got in about an hour ago. Best to death! The vette is now tucked in the garage safe and sound.. see for yourself

My lady and I like our privacy is all.
I work in Fremont and live in Milpitas. I'm sure I'll spot you two driving around one day.

Congrats on the new Z.

Yes, on new wheels. There are a number of good sets available used on the SCal and NorCal forums.

Hi everyone. Really sorry for taking so long to post the final updates.

When I got back home it felt like waking up from a sweet dream. A dream of me, my lady and the Corvette with nothing on our minds but the road.
Coming back to normal life was pretty rough, what with responsibilities kicking back in and the stresses of everyday life I just didn't have it in me to finish writing about the trip- until now

Anyways, where were we???

Ah yes, the last time we left off, we were still in San Antonio for the second time on the way back after hitting the 'reset' button..

Our last night in San Antonio. Definitely the most charming city we visited along this trip! We left our hearts in San Antonio!


Forgot to roll up the passenger window when parking it for the night. Luckily nothing was missing


Such a beautiful city




On our way to El Paso!

Edit: Sorry I took so long guys! I tried a bunch of times to update even back when we were still on the road but Corvette Forum was bugging out one me!
