Default Pictures from my trip to Skyline Drive in Virginia

Traded in my C5 for a 2007 coupe a couple of weeks ago and had to take it out for a test run. So, my wife and I thought it was a great time of the year to drive up to Virginia and drive along Skyline Drive. Beautiful time of the year and what a great drive. Plenty of turns and hills to play with the new C6, (Vicky) and she performed great! What a terrific time we had so I thought I would share.

Thanks, since this was the first road trip since I bought it and she drove flawlessly we couldn't have had a better time.

Great pictures and great looking C6. Hope you and your wife enjoy the car as much as we have.

At least 3 times a year we drive I81 through the Shenandoah Valley on our way from Pennsylvania to Louisiana. We always talk about taking our Corvette for a trip on Skyline Drive. Your photos may just be the boost we needed.

Great pics and you were in my neighborhood!!!!

We live in Waynesboro, where the Skyline Drive meets the Blue Ridge Parkway. They're nearly the same, just one goes North and the other South! Big Meadows is not very far at all. We used to take the kids there; the deer are nearly tame- - -

Thank you Navy for your service.

Thanks for beautiful pictures of Fall, here in Florida it's all green all year round, so seeing colors looks good.

Please enjoy the winter, and keep the cold North.

I've been trying to do a trip on skyline drive on the way to the Corvette Museum for two months now. Wife doesn't feel up to it, or something else comes up. Maybe next year! Your pictures really show me what I'm missing.

That's some beautiful countryside. Vette, pilot, and co-pilot all look like they're enjoying it.
