Default Exotics at RTC

Is anyone going to exotics@RTC tomorrow? It's been a while since I've been out there and thought I would head over tomorrow morning.

I'll be heading that way in the morning. Looks like a great day and no rain.

Well that's great. Any pictures?

I love this weekly gathering of people with far more resources and money than me but spending them just the way I would if I had the same.

This is such a great gathering... I wish my Mazda 3 hatchback was more "exotic" instead of "Quixotic".

Whoa....whining, really? You wanna be able to gamble AND have an exotic?

Hell, it's all I can do to have a Corvette AND drink heavily.

Not at the same time of course....

I didn't realize they were mutually exclusive activities. Although some of the cars I've bought in the past were a bit of a gamble.

Now, those are indeed, mutually exclusive activities. Although a couple glasses of single malt (neat of course) often starts me to thinking I should have a new C7. It's not that I can't afford it (I can't) it's simply that I've reached that age where I figure the next new Corvette I buy might be my last. Oh, and, as my son-in-law likes to remind me, it is likely to be his first Corvette. I just wish he'd quite putting those little stickers with his name on them all over the car whenever he and Shelby come over. I mean, putting stickers on the furniture and my collection of autographed books is one thing, but... well


Not at the same time of course....
All-Chevy show tomorrow at the XXX and Renton is having a show as well. Sounds like a good day - if the weather cooperates - to take the bike out.

Thanks for the pics. From the looks of the back grounds a lot of folks must have decided to stay home and nurse their hang overs.

Thanks for the pics. That Laguna Blue on the C7 really "pops" with chrome wheels. Walter did a nice job with his black wheels, but the red stripe around the face of the rim made a lot of difference. So, are comp gray wheels no longer available?

Love the light green C3. To my mind, there are few Corvettes more attractive than an early unmolested C3 with chrome bumpers. Any idea what that shade of green is/was called. It's a beauty.
