Nice!


Now my Sunday morning is complete. Nothing like a few good Corvette pictures to make the day a little bit nicer.

My brother came down from MD and got to drive my 2017 Corvette yesterday. He really liked it. I'm trying to talk him into getting one, but it's going to have to wait until my nephew is out of college.

He was enjoying the looks from other drivers who admired the Torch Red Stingray. I told him how enjoyable it is to get a "thumbs-up" from so many people - especially youngsters.

Speaking of youngsters, those young boys seeing that new Z06 at your dealership will probably remember that for many, many years.

Keep up the great posts, Mike!!!!

The best show we went to was the last one at Bloomington Ill. before it moved and we still have the panoramic picture before the road tour. There were thousands of spectators along the way and in some of the small towns kids were hosing down the road by railroad tracks to watch the Corvettes do burn outs. Mike were you there????

Thanks Mike.....another great week. Love the Millner photo with the '63 Coupe. Also was pleased to see two old photos of my '65 with its original owners (the lady in the babushka with a baby and the guy washing it in their Florida driveway). I posted them at some point here on the Forum and you snagged them. Here is another, from the same 1966 timeframe....in Key West. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Mike, wonderful pictures again. Love the C1 magazine adds. 4200 miles on the gray car since 2 Jan. Half way to Sebring today, weather should be great for practice and race. Have a great week.

That's my favorite pic this week
My favorite PIC this week also. I must be older than you because instead of hearing "1 Adam 12" I hear the Route 66 music.

The boys from The Avalon School are all wearing ties. Getting "prep'd" for the business world near D.C. Although, not sure Furman wears a tie these days!

Criswell has had a very mild winter this year, so with Spring now approaching, Mother Nature decided to remind everyone there who is still the boss.
