Default Chicago Guys....

Saturday was my first time getting together with some of the Chicago crew, to cruise to Bloomington Gold. Thanks for the invite Tommy.

Just curious as to what all of the Chicago guys drive. I saw a lot of C5's and C6's out there. Myself and Dennis were loners with his C4 and my '67.

Whats everyone else ride in?




PS
Sold the '67 at the show. Hopefully I will be back next year with a new Vette.

Missed most of you at the show, but glad to see the forum cars represented well at the designated parking. There defintely were a lot of c5's and c6's there, but after driving my 67 over Friday in the 90 plus weather, and losing several pints of watewr weight on the way, I can see how those owners would have enjoyed that ride in those cars. I totally appreciated my ZR1 on Saturay and the climate control!
