Not even going, and I'm awake. Morning all. Into my second cup of coffee already. Have a great run. Good name for the Run -- First Annual Puddle Run Hope you can see all the pot holes, or will they be filled with water? Be careful out there.

Oh well, going down stairs for a third cup. If it gets nice later, maybe I'll see you all at Captree

Hope that those that did go had a great time. For myself due to late family holiday dinner last night I did not get home until 1:30am last night, hence I was not going to get up at 5am for this, my loss.

Please post some pics for all.

No thanks to Fozzie21 as he took too dam long to powder his nose! Otherwise i would have been there 45 earlier!

Oh well, see you guys next time!

Bunch of light weights out there!! So it was at 5 am, so it was pouring rain, so we had to dash a few craters in the road. You know who you are that were marked absent!!

Just finished showing the wifey my pics! Got some great shots! Wish we could have stayed out longer. The sun came out full force once I was putting the vette in the garage. Next year, hopefully we'll have better weather and have a bigger turnout although the size was perfect to keep everyone together.

Time to wash down the vette. Maybe we'll go out and see a movie. I can't believe its so early.

I'll post the pics soon!

Thanks Nabbs for setting this up.

Next time, HOOOOOOOTERS!!!!

Just got home, that was great fun!! Running down the middle of Manhatten at dawn, putting faces and real names to CF names, just great fun.

THANKS, NABBS!!

Now, nice and sunny in Ct., wash her down, maybe take the top down for later.

Again, any time.

Wow!

That was a great time! We drove only 20 miles, and I actually got out of the car not hating it! It was just the right amount of driving.

Now the sights...what can I say, it's NYC?!!

Mix in Alex, FJB, and Rich...and I think I almost pee'd myself laughing so hard!

I have many pix and much video that I will post shortly (don't worry this won't be like Tobay).

I can't believe we were able to stop and take pictures where we did! As we drove through the city we dropped many a jaw! It was quite something to see so many Corvettes driving through the city.
