| My 2010 at the beach Corvette won 1st place in class, at the recent |
It was the first win for this car. I had seen my prior 2011 win in an Illinois car show, where it captured the Chief's Choice - an obscenely tall trophy with a cop pointing a gun on it. That was my immediate past Corvette, a 2011 Cyber Gray Coupe.
We had traded that car for this one year earlier model convertible, as I clearly missed having a rag top. My history of Corvettes runs from a 2001 convertible, to a 2004 Lemans Blue coupe, to a 2008 Metallic Silver coupe, to the aforementioned 2011 Cyber Gray coupe, and now this car. This was my fourth year participating in this event, where in addition to a "goodie bag" the registration fee includes a nice sports shirt with logo. It was a long day, starting with our 20 club members lining up downtown and driving in convoy to the St Armands Key at 7:30 AM, and ending mid afternoon at 3:30 PM...but it was worth it. Elizabeth tells me I must keep this car for at least two more years, so I should enjoy this trophy while I can. This sixth generation Corvette (C-6) is likely to not be replaced with a yet to be released for sale seventh generation Stingray. Who cares, I'm finally back to having a convertible, and it's RED.
