My gosh, theblackvette! I ate a double whopper with cheese, drank a milkshake, and ate biggie fries at 130 without spilling a thing.

Now, at 152 I had to throw the burger out the window because the lettuce and tomato were being sucked out. On the way to top end, the shake went down real fast with the g force. Fortunately, I didn't have to hit the brakes....
 
Roadfrog! LOL
Now I am REALLY motivated!!!!!

Roadfrog, that's too funny!! :L Theblackvette, one of the administrators related the reason you won't see signature on every post. It appears only once per page. This shortens download time for those that have dialup. Makes sense to me. Keeps the page somewhat cleaner too and easier to navigate. Maybe some of us that have two photos in their sig should take one out. BUT which one? ;)

Actually, it would be nice if everyone's signature did have only one picture in it. :) As for which one, I really like the front-end shot of your Z06. The way the light is reflecting off the whole car is really cool IMHO.
 
Thanks Z_OH_6......
Now I understand what the heck was going on!!!!!!

Z_OH_6 has a consistent pattern of shooting the best Corvette scenes!

I am not surprised that you are impressed.

Doesn't the lighting kind of make the car look like it's gold? :D

Thanks for the kind and gently diplomatic response to my musings Rob! :D

I did remove the second photo but had to go with the one shown now. While I completely agree with your assessment of which photo was the best, the current shot shows my signature name in the plate plus the mountains are visual as well - integral to my signature. Really enjoy the site and the great folks here who made us 'refugees' so welcome. Applause to y'all!! :CAC

Z-OH-6, I have to say that Millenium Yellow is sharp. I like it alot! :upthumbs
Thank you sir!! If you don't mind a sincere back-atcha, I have always loved the EB cars. Talk about brilliant color and highlights. I'd love to photograph your car at about 15 minutes before sunset. Now that would be an interesting shot!! Thanks again. ;)
 
Yep, I noticed how Rob politely "mentioned" about the one picture thing. I am glad you were given a "choice" as to which one to remove!

Edmond, you have a good eye. The sun was at the right angle to reflect a golden tone to the subject. That was one of the subtleties of the color that first drew me to it. Well, that and the fact that was the only Z my dealer had when I was looking. LOL! I bought the car at West Chevrolet, here in East Tennessee. Owner, Steve West, is the man that actually named the car's color, Millennium Yellow. He participated in a nationwide contest to name the color and won! :)

Me too! He could have said "Adios amigo" just as easily. HA! Great place, good folks! :beer
