Got Back last night with the FRC!
Well after a long FUN 3 day trip to get the new FRC we went from Vegas to near LA (pick up the FRC), Back to Vegas, to Phoenix, through New Mexico, through Texas and through most of Oklahoma (the NE Corner) I finally got home about 8:30 pm last night! I am AMAZED after driving my C4 for so long that I have not done this sooner
! This car is better in almost every way then my old 87 Z-52 car. The first thing I noticed is the seats, they are so comfortable, the ride is amazingly soft yet handles like it is on rails, the HUD works fantastic, steering is tight on the straight stretches and corners. Also road noise going from the Goodyear run flats to the Michelin run flats is uncomparable! Then to my fuel milage, 27.5 running a few over the speed limit
all the way home
even got better fuel milage then the Toyota Corolla that was my rental to LA! Im totally impressed at the all over design of the 5th gen car. Nobody can tell me the C6's are better, they cant get any better then this (maybe could use more power, but what couldn't
)... I also met a forum member that was visiting Vegas from Alberta, Canada, eh, HAHA!!!. Super nice guy we took a few pictuers of or Pride and Joy's in the parking garage of the Luxor (he gave me his business card but cant find him on the forum yet
) Anyway, here are a few pictures from the trip!
Hoover Dam
This is Kenneth (Canadian, eh!) and I with out cars in the parking garage of the Luxor. I have NO IDEA how he fits in that C6
And my boy excited to see dad's new ride (he was asleep when I got home)... He just turned 1, kid is huge...
