2020 C6 of the Year Finalist - Modified
Default **UPDATED** Super Sonic Blue Valkyrie Sunset

New pics (first 5) were taken on Hwy 95 North out of town Sorry for all the pics, but if it wasn't so darn pretty here w/the sunsets and all almost EVERY evening, then i guess i would just leave the car in the garage more. So, i offer up the fruit of my location and passion for y'all to enjoy.

Kyle Canyon road, on the way up towaard Mt Charleston, Las Vegas.....
Enjoy


Thanks to JWMotoring.com for meeting all of my lighting needs
DRL LED Switchbacks
8k HID Foglights (behind tinted fogs)
White LEDs behind the tinted sidemarkers
Eagle Eye LED tails - tinted
Blue LED license plate lights
Blue LED thoughout the interior (not quite a black light feel, but pretty cloee )

Camera - Cannon T2i (mostly in landscape & portrait mode)
Evening 2






Evening 1

Nice pics. Have you had any legal issues with the blue tag lights?

Not so far - with the white lettering, it is still quite legible. I have a friend in LV Metro, i will have to ask him.

Thanks for the compliments on the car...............below is an exerpt from my original "BLUE VALYKRIE" post when the car was brand new.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Why “Blue Valkyrie” (Val for short) you might ask?????
Well, there are a few different reasons that all kinda/sorta cross…….so here it goes.
1.). My car color is "Supersonic Blue" & the XB-70 Valkyrie, which you may or may not be aware is/was the 1st ever supersonic bomber.
2.). The plane was made by North American - a company my Grandfather worked for during the time when the plane was being developed.
3.) My Air Force ROTC Detachment’s Honor Guard unit is named "Valkyrie Honor Guard" - representin' Det 305 from Louisiana Tech University! = GO DAWGS!!!
4.) Only 2.5 XB-70's were ever made - 2 XB-70A's & the XB-70B was stopped halfway into production due to the program being cancelled - Mine will be the XB-70C (look closely @ the custom emblem made up with the 'C' done in Corvette font! = SWEEEEEET
5.). Finally, In Norse Mythology (I know, I know…..what?!?!?!) The word 'Valkyrie' means 'Chooser of the Slain' - which would apply to various other sorts of 'lesser' auto's that I will be 'slaying' on the streets of Las Vegas - mustangs included ;P

Very nice pics - especially like pic #2.

BTW, I got your reference to the XB-70.

Wagner would be proud.
