Been in Myrtle Beach since Sunday and I'm seeing a lot of vettes. The wife and I have been enjoying the beach(first time I've been here in 25 years), we've driven to Pawely's Island, Murrell's Inlet, and Charleston(it poured the rain), having fun in the sand and sun.... aaah yes in a corvette.

 

Pics?

 

Took almost no photos of the vette. It rained everyday(at sometime during the day) except one, by the end of the week the car was a mess. Only car washes I could find were "high pressure power wash strip the paint from a door at 20 paces", so I never even washed it until I got home. Since it rained so much, most of the sand and salt was washed off anyway, but not worth taking pics of.

BUT

First of the week, we drove up Ocean Blvd. Just to see what was there, upper end of the beach seems to be doing a lot of construction. Going through a construction zone, I usually try to avoid construction zones, but this time we had no choice, going through really slow, 10mph I guess, and I actually felt a small bump, nothing much, but at such a slow speed I felt it. Then I could hear a noise coming from the rear. I had not seen anything, so I thought the worse. I pulled into a parking lot immediately. Got out and started checking each tire, left front, nothing, right front, nothing, right rear nothing, left rear....

My first thought was sh$t! But as I grabbed it, it fell out, it had only went in about 1/8in into the rubber part of the tread. Talk about lucky. I guess the bend prevented it from going any deeper. I avoided all construction zones after that.

Here's the storm that rolled in while we were in Charleston SC
