Buggin'

I forgot to take a picture of it, but I washed off at least a pound of dried insect paste off the nose of The Precious today.

Many Corvette owners don't understand what I am talking about because they never drive their dang cars.  I'm going to make 100k miles in the next week or so.  All this since October 2007.

Still a completely enjoyable trip to Pensacola on the back roads more or less following the west coast of Florida up through the Apalachicola National Forest and past/through Tyndall AFB.  We even saw an F-35A doing touch and goes and some parked F-16's and F-22A.

The lower speeds of the back roads yielded an average fuel economy of 32 miles per gallon (Em Pee Gee in ad speak) and 29 mpg over all taking the interstates back down to Tampa.

I am constantly impressed with 436 horsepower getting 30ish miles per gallon.

    What's the point of owning a 'Vette if you don't drive it? It's like those show bikes you see at shows...beautiful to look at, but with a non-functional engine because nobody ever rides it. I don't own anything I can't use, whether it's guns, motorcycles, cars or anything else. Every one of my books and comic books is one I've read myself; I don't buy for collector value.
