The two below are from the 4th of July parade we rolled in. No third party pics yet but hopefully I can get some when they post parade pics on their website.

Below are first day of spring '09, hazy, lazy day in Texas. Good day to clean the 'Vette and shoot a few more pics. And in case you wonder, yes I'm supposed to roll with a front plate but the Sheriff understands that ya' can't mess with that face, Amen?

Check out the banned 'Vette commercial...Likely the best one I've ever seen, supposedly the lawyers didn't like kids driving.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUtw0JhPL3Q&feature=related

 

 robpurifoy's 2001 Chevrolet CorvetteAlso, I have to give thanks to my first ride, the '77 Buick LeSabre. Mom's old car that I took in as my new Pimp mobile in about 1983 in high school. One of those cars that I wish I never sold. I added some wide Kelly Charger's on the already cool stock chrome rims, tinted the winows, added some headlight

covers (it was cool in the 80's), a Thrush turbo muffler and a sound system. It had a 350 Oldsomobile engine (found that out when a mechanic tried to order a part for a buick, so I guess GM shared the parts bin back in the day-prolly still do). From then on out it was nicknamed the "Oldsmobuick". Sorry, these were old pics that I re-took with a dig. cam.

I resent that very much. You ever wanna chat on vette stats let me know. Not a good note to start out on with a woman like me. Take a look at my 50th ZO6 and tell me it just a piece of machinery to me. Jesus men are so stupid sometimes.
