Sorry to see some of you go.

Wish everyone the best with their future rides.

I’m in it for the long haul.

Not sold.. being invested in. Motor is out as of today - time for a refresh to better than original and a bit of fun added as well.

Same here. But I’d be lying if I denied that C8 convertible keeps whispering in my ear.

Garage is also my limiting factor. Two car garage, four cars (at least until the last kid takes the hint and moves). Already using one bay of my neighbor’s garage. If I add a C8 I want to keep the F1fty, but one would likely have to sit outside. Not happenin’. That plus more than likely, next car purchase will be for Mrs. No doubt something electric to replace her Volt.

I guess being a GM guy you'll want to wait for the Hummer!!

Well, I cant seem to find how to post a picture.. I have some that may convince you that catch cans are a good idea.. perhaps.

I saw over on the Book of Face and Gram of Insta some of the shots.

Hey everyone, back from vacation in the mountains and had a blast!

Did the Tail of The Dragon again and had almost a fully uninterrupted run. It was quite eventful though, on the way up the Dragon we saw a Semi so we pulled over and waited for awhile (they are illegal on the Dragon now). Funny enough, when we made our run we got stuck behind people doing 25 in a 35 but at the end, that semi was pulled over and parked by the police.

On the way back, we only got caught behind traffic for a bit, but they pulled over. I supposedly pulled a 1.1G turn which I'm not sure I believe. I either misread it (wasn't focused on the hud but definitely saw a 1.* G rating) or that gauge isn't entirely accurate. I'm not stock (ZL1 bars, rear cradle lockout, PS4 Tires) but not sure I can pull a 1.1 either.

Also was able to do the Cherohola Skyway while I was up there. Ended up being ahead of a massive Porsche parade so I pulled over and followed them for awhile. We also did the Blue Ridge Parkway for about 80 miles of it on the way to Asheville. Crazy cloudy\rainy day but on the bright side, very little traffic.

Also I was able to do the Diamondback but in the truck since we got hit by the remnants of Zeta while we were up there. Wasn't sure how bad it was going to be so the car stayed at the hotel and we took the truck.

For those who have served or are interested in the Military, I visited Warner Robbins Museum of Aviation, The USS North Carolina and The USS Yorktown.

All in all, a heck of a driving trip and I'd recommend every bit of it!
