Default 2023 Corvette funfest

Made it to the funfest this year,was there for four days and had a wonderful time with family and friends. It was a pretty good turnout and it was announced that it will be the last one as we know it. Big changes next year but I will still be going. The great thing is I won celebrity choice for the first time ever, that was a big surprise for me. Here's a few pics, enjoy.

I talked to that guy after the road tour he painted that car himself. Not my color choice but one hell of a beautiful paint job. I also liked the silver flair car it really looked good. I rode in behind the caffeine brown one with the red dipped interior almost the whole way down.

I'll take MIKEZ51's copilot!
If not I'll have to settle for the '14 Lime Rock Green vert.

The lime rock green belongs to corvette Dan on YouTube, there was two of them there. I really liked the green C4 in the museum.
