Weather was 80 degrees today so I decided to take her out for a cruise today. Found this neat little spot on the road and took about 300 pics Here are 8 of them. I decided to put smaller sizes in the thread due to the size of the real ones. Tell me what you think. All pics were taken with my 17-40mm f4.0L and 24-105mm f4.0L. Time of day was 2pm in direct sunlight...I know not optimal but the chance hit then and there so I took it anyway.

Hi res pics are here: http://s108.photobucket.com …nk/corvette/New%20Folder/

Nice Vette........ Mine was nice until the other night. My 17 year old, tried his first burnout with the Active Handling System turned off. Worked out pretty well until he hit a guard rail just hard enough to customize the nose.....

Best thing about that is the next time he does that he'll be in a Vette he paid for. Life is a difficult teacher, often gives the test before the lesson.........

Thanks for all the comments.

P51mstg: That sucks. That's why no one drives mine ever. Wife wants to but she can't drive a stick. To combat her learning...buy a stiff aftermarket shifter :lol:

Gorgeous. Wish it was 80 degrees here. You should post them on corvetteforum.com.

I agree. Great looking vette. Mine's in our heated garage under cover. It was 14 degrees here this morning.

Nothing better than a super clean car. That is a beautiful C5, everything looks near perfect. Mine's a little dirty right now, I better get to it!
