I found a nice spot to take some pictures this afternoon.
I thought you guys might want to see them.

I apologize for not being around here much anymore.
I’ve been real busy at work and they cracked down big time on daytime Internet use.
And of course I’m hanging out more on the vette forums.
But it’s never possible to quit this place entirely.

I absolutely LOVE the car and I’m enjoying every mile driving it.
Speaking of miles, I’m up to nearly 7,000 since I got it in January.
It’s just about time to put it away for the winter so the Subaru will be getting more use.

Here ya go……….

 

Also…..I was in Ocean City MD for the big “Corvette’s on the Boardwalk” event last weekend.
Over 1,000 cars were on display at the inlet parking lot and 700+ did the parade down the boardwalk.
Some fellow members got two pics of me & the wife as we were driving by.

It was awesome driving on the boardwalk. Revving it up for the spectators and seeing people waving off the balcony’s 10 stories up.

 

Here’s a few shots before we pulled out for the parade…..

 

Good scenery....(the trees)

 

not too many yellow vettes at that MD event, I love that color on a vette. BTW, nice pics!! Thanks for sharin.

 

So thats why I saw so many vettes on the Parkway on Sunday!!!! Nice pics!

 

Your 'Vette looks fine. Nicely taken care of and a great color.

My favorite year and model was the 1966 427 convertible, preferrably with the removable hardtop (and side pipes, of course).

But Chevy has done wonders with their little small block and the proof is what sits under your hood.

Enjoy you really fine machine.

 

Nice pics Shawn. I'm just curious, what's that plastic square thing directly in front of the wheelwell on the rear fender?

 

i think it says "GM"

 

you have SHINY wheels

 

Looks good! Did you go to Corvettes at Carlisle this year? When I had my '94 I used to go to all the vette stuff, it was a lot of fun.

 

Looks greats! The blue exterior and polished wheels give it a very elegant look.

Nice pics shawn. Though i wouldnt put it away for the winter. Id get a set of snow tires and drive that puppy year round. But thats me and im a lil strange that way!

 

There was a Corvette meet today at the Garden State Plaza Mall in Paramus. It was amusing all the Z05 & Z06 owners were clean cut while the Stingray owners were either full gray hair or had mullets

 

Nice wax job, rook.

Car looks great.

 

Yea, they started putting them on all GM cars in 2006.

 

YES....Walked the entire thing in one day.
My feet were dead.
Gonna spread it over two or three days next year.
Way too much to do in one day.

 

As you can see, I'm still a big Zaino fan.

 

Sweet pics! I also liked the pics from the Boardwalk thing... pretty cool!!

 

Sweet Vette.

 

looking good shawn!!

 

NICE RIDE.

Very cool pics and event. My sister lives in OC and cooked some chili for the event. Sher works at the Cottage Cafe in Bethany Beach, just north of OC. My neigbor also drove his red Vette to the event and he also said that revving it on the boardwalk was freaky. He said it felt like he was breaking the law or something- he has a custom exhaust that is fairly loud.

 

mmmmmmmmmm I want one

 

wow that looks nice. Nice color, HOT car.

Does the removable panel fit in the trunk when you take it out?

 

Yes, I was revving mine up every chance I got.
People were holding up sign’s that said stuff like “Make some noise” and “I can’t hear you”.
Of course I had to oblige.
I have a Corsa Sport exhaust system on mine and it’s pretty loud when you get on it.

 

Oh yes….The trunk is huge for a sports car.
22 cubic feet to be exact.
Even with the top back there, there’s still room for stuff below, above and in front of it.

 

The new blue blinger is looking good


Wheres the gold package though?

 

22 cubic feet! Holy SHIT! That HAS to be a typo!

Any pics of said trunk. I know, its stupid to ask for pics of the trunk of a Vette, but I have to see this!

 

Your vette is looking good man. When's the long tubes, varram intake and cat back going on?

 

those are some bright wheels





Got any video/sound clips of the corsa's? I've been thinking about those but not sure I want aftermarket exhaust.

 

HUGE trunk, one reason I wish I would have gotten a used vette instead of my gto

I witnessed a guy put a chopper frame, motor, and wheels and tires in the back of a corvette. I sat there thinking "this guy is nuts, it's not going to fit' and sure enough it all slipped in.

 

it IS that big! It's unreal

 

makes you feel good when ppl have those signs dont it? hhaah i get the same thing, makes me feel special. well i dont get it with my CAR i get it with my truck. of course every kid in high school down in SAV has some kinda loud exhaust. its almost required

 

Great pics! I really want that car, but don't know how practical it will be for me.

 

practical? 22 cubic feet of trunk space sounds good

I jsut cant get over that. An RL only has 14ish cubic ft!

 

my GTO has like - 6 cu ft

 

BTW Shawn, you gotten use to the "corvette wave" yet?

 

The only picture I have is when we were packed up ready to leave for our Williamsburg, Va trip a few months ago.
And I could still see out the back window.

Notice the bucket of car care stuff on the far side

 

Here’s one I found on Google with an aftermarket rear partition in place.
There’s another 20-inches between that partition and the back of the seats.



And here’s one with the top stowed back there:

 

I love the corvette wave.
My sucsess rate on returns is running pretty good too.
I think I’m at about 90% return waves.

The hard part is NOT waving when I see a vette while I’m driving the Subaru.
