Default Saw My Car On HOT ROD TV

It wasn't a feature or anything. They showed coverage of the first few stops along the POWER TOUR. As they come back from commercial breaks they show several cars on the open road. Mine is one of them, the yellow Vette with the black stripe for those who haven't seen pics before. My 2 seconds of fame!!

Mike if you read this, they had a short interview with Ron on there also.

COOL!! Was it on the Speed Channel? I can't seem to keep up with when they show shows like that, they move them around so much. I was at the Jackson, MS stop, but I don't remember your C3. I got some pics of a yellow C3 but it didn't have stripes. Did you get there later in the day?

Congrats on making it to big time TV. Very nice car I met you at the Lake Charles La. stop there at the Civic Center. Sorry about the rain sometimes the weather just doesn’t do what we want it to.

SmokedTires: My car was down for awhile when I fragged the ring gear. I was going to put the motor/trans in my Jimmy but changed my mind.

Brettmc: It was on SpeedChannel. I don't remember the time I arrived in Jackson. There were so many cars it was hard to see all of them.

Honaker: I am shocked they wouldn't include your van in the coverage. A gross oversite on their part. If I were you, I'd demand an explanation!

superfast80: Thanks for the compliment. I wish "Corvette Fever" felt that way. I was approached by a photographer from another magazine and he said he would talk to the Corvette Fever guy about my car but nothing came of either contact.

Mike: Ron's interview was not while riding. First you heard him talking then there was a head shot with no background with his name captioned underneath. I'm not surprised his interview was aired. He personable and a really good talker.

chevymans 77: Thanks. I was worried about how I was going clean my car after driving thru all that rain but that fountain at the site provided plenty of water!
