Flipped on the TV yesterday and of all things to see advertised on a commercial was a Corvette show and shine at NAS Pensacola!! A perfect opportunity since I happen to be in Pensacola at the moment.

Unfortunately the camera died shortly after arriving but I did manage to snap a couple of shots. I missed out on the Blue Angel static display used for taking pictures of next to your car and the roaming beauty contestants in heels and tiaras. Of the shots I did get I found some cars that looked a lot like some of the ones back home.

Anyone recognize this black ZR1:


How about a red Z06? This is obviously before wheels and hood but the splitter, side skirts and spoiler are a good match:


Found a Z16 Bruno but that was the shot the camera died on but I did get one under the hood:


Greg's 02 EB vert made an appearance:


Some very custom cars:




Aftermarket C5 headlight option. There were blue flashing LED's but I couldn't time the picture to capture it.


Some classics:





Carbon edition:


The black wheel club:



Black carbon fiber headlight:


My favorite pair:

Her's:


Notice the license plates.

Together:


The show was closely monitored throughout the day by...:



The people are also a lot like everyone up in the PNW as well. Same passion and friendly personalities.

Cool pics....sorry you're having to tough it out in Florida...I hope it's for work casue you're missing some of the few best weekends we could poissibly have.

Can't help myself...seeing the 2 blues together make me love mine all the more....which I polished and drove today!

Was heading back home to Gulf Breeze across the 3 Mile bridge and saw about 10 vettes + 1 BMW 650i white coupe leading them (I'm guessing) to either Fort Walton Beach or Destin. One or two had Air Force vanity plates. The one that caught my eye was that burgundy C5 w. the white flame job (4th pic down) and a blue C5 convertible w. a FL vanity plate that read "BLUE PILL" (either a Viagara reference or the Matrix, lol). Very cool to see all those Corvettes cruising down Hwy 98 to parts unknown on a gorgeous Gulf of Mexico day!

Cool Pics thanks for sharing. While I didn't really care for the way they did the white on the "sunset vette" I did like the wheel treatment.

But what the heck .... no Polo Green C4's

Hope you are having a good time. We head out to Jacksonville and fernandia beach on Wed morning.

And these past two weekends here have been really fantastic. It was sunny & 70 last saturday.

Looks like fun! I love the artwork on that Z16!

Hope you guys are having a good time. You'll probably be back right when the beautiful weather turns bad again.

Thanks for the great pic'sm Joe. WOW..so many corvette's and one of every kind (except polo green) And lots of cool customs.

Looks like most of us had our cars represented anyway But a black one in Florida, really

Have a great time and travel safe.

It has been difficult. Ignoring the usual alarm to get out of bed at 5:00 am and getting to the beach by 10:00 am each day has been a challenge.

I dare say the most common color at the show was in fact blue. A very popular color in this area.

I'm always amazed at what a small world we live in. I was heading back from lunch at Surf Burger on PB when I saw a train of Vettes heading in the opposite direction. I was crossing the causeway from Gulf Breeze to Pensacola. We had to have driven past each other. a caravan of Corvettes is always a nice sight.

BTW that C5 was actually white. The burgundy color had been sprayed on top. I had a close look at the paintwork at the show and it was interesting how they chose to paint it. It looked like they made some changes along the way.

There were a lot of C4's there but no polo green. I looked but didn't see one or I would have snapped a pic if I still had some battery. Have a safe flight to Jacksonville and please leave behind some of that nice weather. I'm already beginning to dread the grey skies and drizzle.

There was one other piece of artwork on a C3 hood. I got a pic on my cell phone so I'll text it to you. It's more PG-13 than the other.

Pretty good turnout even though there was a chance of rain forecasted. Cars were filling in as we left but we didn't stick around very long. When I get back I'm going to box up those convertable top care items and mail them to you since the logistics aren't working out.

Joe, its really time for you to return to home, my car misses you

NW94Z

Got in this morning after 1:00 am. Work is completely backed up and I have a huge backlog at home now also. I have some phone calls to make once I get some breathing room and then I'll get a hold of you and Winston.

Mookster

Welcome back to the rain, why couldnt you bring some sun with you?

No worries, i can wait just ping Winston later in the week.
