Thirteen Point Seven Billion

The speculation is over; on January 17, 2014, Karen and I drove to the North American International Auto Show to see the newly announced 2014 Corvette – the first of the Seventh Generation of America's Sports Car. More HERE.

Our grandson Kyle leaves on Monday August 27, 2012 for Marine boot camp. On Monday August 13, 2012, we took a road trip in my Corvette to the Corvette Assembly Plant and to the Corvette Museum, both in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Before the plant tour, I mentioned to the tour people about Kyle's boot camp coming up, so they arranged for him to be the first to start a brand new 2013 Corvette 60th Anniversary Special Edition convertible on the assembly line, to do some some test procedures and to rev the engine. It was a great thrill for him (and for me).

…..motor gently into the greasemud, for therein lies the skid demon.

My favorite racing series are Formula 1 and American Le Mans Series. Eighteen-year-old grandson Kyle, on the other hand, enjoys a different kind of motorsport.
