    No, he just held his N82 up high while I was driving…and just for the record, that’s the audio from his ZR1 ride patched in. I did not drive the XLR like that… ;-)

    I have over 300 pictures taken at the GM event and the Texas State Fair Auto Press Conferences that I am trying to get ready for uploading. It was a really great couple of days for anyone who loves cars (like me). :mrgreen:

    If I buy one, will Judy show me how to drive it properly? ;)
    Better yet, do you come with it?

    I heard some rumors about Judie drag racing on Main Street at twelve after midnight… do you have a video of Judie doing donuts and figure eights in the Cadillac?
