Cars & Coffee, Shopping, Mountain Run and Pictures
I drove to San Diego this morning for a JBA Cars & Coffee display. Lots of Mustangs,
We had about 7 Vettes, 5 Cobras (Replicas) and a Monster Miata with a 5.0 Mustang Engine. We had fun, went out to breakfast, I went to the base PX and bought some new shirts and shorts and decided to go for a twisty run to Idyllwild. I drove back on the I-15N, 79 East and humped on the 371. Perfect day for a run. Last night I cleaned up DRM and once I got to top I remembered that I had my camera in my jacket and snapped some picts. Dark Red Metallic, if the sun is out you see the Metallic. The Dark Red comes out at sunset and looks BiTCHeN!! This one, I waited 20 minutes for a cloud to cover the sun: Clearly this pictures keep telling me that the best wheel for a C4 is 17". They look good but, to big for my taste. The new GS wheel is out. I'll check on that one. Shame that the sawblades wont fit my Vette (C5 Brakes), the chromed saw-blades looked awesome on my 92 DRM Vert. |

I think those wheels are cool. I especially like the rubber thought about buying them, maybe next time. Sawblades are probably the best stock wheel for a C4, just tough to keep clean.
So how many miles did you put on her today? |

Beautiful car, scenery is great too. Thanks for reminding me what the ground looks like when it isn't white.

looked like fun. I'd stayed busy at home, but wish I would have known about it-I need your regional car show intel.

Nice pictures.
But I think you're correct. The wheels are tad to much for my taste as well. But it still looks good! |
