Default C5 Sunday Drive

Just wanted to share this pic with you guys and gals. Taken on Interstate 15, just before the 91. Traffic was light so I decided to open it up a little. Not much, just a little.

It's hard to tell where the clouds end and the snow covered mountains begin, but the snow level yesterday on the San Gabriel Mountains was among the lowest I can ever recall seeing. I put about 270 miles on the 'Vette yesterday and it was a wonderful day for a drive.

The HUD does say "174", right? How'd you hold the camera at that speed?

Just funnin' with you guys. I wanted to see how quickly you'd notice. I had a little photoshop fun with the speed and tach on the HUD. But the rest of the photo is genuine.

I was only doing 74... I may be dumb, but I'm not crazy.

Your other posting indicates you have cracked wheels.
