I saw three vettes on last friday when the weather was so good. I saw probably 3 C5's and 2 C4 verts on either route 1 or old mount vernon. Also saw a white C6 on the way to chipotle in kingstowne yesterday.

I was out there to drive over to Tony's, it's just more fun to drive there than to pick up the phone.

I saw 4 C4s on the way, including a beautiful Grand Sport headed east on Route 32 in Fort Meade. I don't know the owner and haven't seen it out before.

I usually go 4/5 PM in order to get a decent spot...although I don't know if I'm going today, kinda windy/cold out. I'm still warming back up from the Vette Care Day in F'burg.

I'm in Centreville as well

Hey Valdez!
No exhaust yet, my ears are still ringing from yours!
Still waiting to hear the next Corsa, or somebody's GHLs.
Gotta be patient.
