Corvettes Everywhere!

On Sunday Aug 14 my wife Ashara, two of our close friends Lisa and Jeff, and I attended the All Corvette Car Show at the Triple XXX Rootbeer Drive-in located in Issaquah, WA.

The weather was perfect for the event: sunny and warm even though there was rain predicted for the day. This is Western Washington after all and anything is possible!

Needless to say, this Corvette fan was in 'Vette heaven with all models (C1 - C6) represented in full glory. One of my more recent friends, Jake Stern brought his custom C4, aptly named The Snake Charmer. Jake's car has won many awards over the years and it is easy to see why. In fact, Jake and I just completed writing a story about his car and we submitted that with accompanying photos to a couple of Corvette magazines. We would love to see his story published!

I was so busy talking with car owners and getting many photos of these beauties that my wife and friends continued on without me, which proved to work out very well for all of us. We eventually hooked up for lunch and more walking about.

The older cars really capture my attention due to the styling of the '50s and 60s. These cars do not have the drive-ability that current cars have, but man, they sure do scream style! Here are some that I really love.

1966 Red with side pipes

There were close to 100 Vettes on display, and many more that were not on display parked across the road. Lots of people drove up on Harley's, in other muscle cars, even on bicycles!

The Triple XXX Rootbeer Drive-in is a favorite destination of car enthusiasts. There is something happening every weekend, and stepping inside the restaurant is like stepping back in time!

See you there next time!
