Default AT LAST!

Its about time the weather turned nicer around here! Had the top off today on the ride home from work and it felt great! How many of you guys got the Vette out for a nice long ride today? While having fun with my newly installed Z51 bars(thanks Vettewrench!), I saw a few cars out tonight. Is there a girl on the Forum with a 98 or 99 silver C5 with chrome wheels? We were cruzin south on Roselle rd. and she was just asking about the painted calipers but we couldn't stop long enough to talk. Something about Vettes and good looking women just seems to balance out the worlds problems! Come to think of it, I do not think I have ever seen a Vette driven by a woman that wasn't cute! How many other cars can you say that about! :cool:

I agree, it was great today. Although I don't have the Z yet, I did take my bike out of storage for the first ride of the season. Rode all afternoon! :cheers:
