Default See the USA in your Chevrolet
One year ago today, I picked up my '09 VR coupe. Today, it has about 16,500 miles and I'm still thrilled to have it. It's been to Florida and, last month, I took it to Guadalupe Mountains National Park in west Texas, near the New Mexico state line. It was about a 1,600 mile round trip. I hiked Guadalupe Peak, the highest point in Texas.

I named this thread as such because I'm posting a picture of my coupe in front of El Capitan and ask that y'all post some of your favorite scenic shots to show the Corvettes do survive outside of garages.

These are pics of my 09 GT1 coupe, taken in April of this year up near Lone Pine, Ca in the Alabama Hills. We also toured Death Valley with it.

Nice pics for sure, damn its fun driving these cars across/around the country.

Now just what does "head waters" of the rio grande mean? I've heard the term before, just not sure what that term means.

What's wrong with you guys?

You're not supposed to drive them.



















Seriously, great pics. Glad to see that you ARE enjoying the cars.
