Thanks Mike . . . Well done by you, Jeremy, and crew on the story of his Tribute Grand Sport. Jeremy's as articulate on the video, and he is here on the forum. It's a great story.

Your throw-back photos are always great, but wow, this car really spoke to me. My god, this is hot . . .

Corpus Christi, Texas I believe. Heck of a Corvette show and the picture ops are awesome.

Great pictures and stories! Thanks Mike. I liked the picture of the Yellow C2 doing the wheelie.

Thanks Randy. That shot of all the Corvettes you speak of was a car event in Corpus Christi. I don't believe they do that show anymore.

Mike: Great Picture! That's the reason I choose the 16 Laguna Blue. Pretty close to both these blues!

Hey Mike,
How did they do the yellow highlights on the 1963 GS Tribute Vette? I assume it's yours. It is simply awesome!!!

Really like that Black Rose with light gray interior combo.

Would be very unique to have that Black Rose C4 ZR1 parked next to the 2018 C7 ZO6 Black Rose!

Mike, IF you can, can you post on a thread either stills or video of the Criswell Auto Groups 9 dealerships for all of us to see the facilities that you sell out of. We have a pretty good idea what Criswell Chevrolet looks like, but not a clue as to the other Criswell dealerships.

Always enjoy the pics of the Criswell Chevrolet under ground bunker Corvette parking garage as well.

Will be interesting to see long term how hurricane Harvey will have a trickle down affect with the larger east coast auto dealerships (Corvette, in particular) and their inventories currently on the ground. Can't imagine that the auto factories can instantly crank out a million new cars and trucks to replace those that were totaled by the flood damage...... Especially considering the fact that the model year 2017's are now completed, and 2018 models for the most part have not yet begun production.

These poor people will just have to hang in there, grind it out, and restore their lives to some semblance of normalcy. And then here comes Irma. Sheesh.

Nothing not to like in all of the throwback pics. I don't believe that I have ever seen a duplicate picture of a throwback on any of your Sunday morning threads. Can't figure out how you do that!!!

Trust me, I have duplicated some pics. Some are that good that I repeat them. I have approx. 10,000 more Corvette pics that I haven't even used!

Default New hash mark placement

Clever placing the hash marks on the wheels of the Traverse Redline. That has to be a first.

Like the overall redesign.

Stealthy yet practical.
