We tackled the third leg of the Targa Rally today which took everyone from Los Angeles to Santa Barbra. A great pack of cars and a timed/mile route lead to a great event. Sadly, our car broke down at the 50 mile mark of a 400 mile day trip like our Gumball 3000 trip earlier this year. We crammed our video guy in another car so he could Targa Scum it and produce us some great video. Our photographer stayed with me at Mt. Frazier as we waited 4 hours for Cadillac to come rescue us and get us in a loaner. It was of course an adventure so check out our trip inside.
Jay Leno has scored the GM VIN number 00001 for his Corvette ZR1. Lucky for us Jay Leno knows how to make amazing online videos unlike other “moguls” such as Puff Daddy and Kayne West. He produced a ten minute love affair with the most powerful car in the hundred years of General Motors history. Jay Leno has always been well known as a huge GM supporter but I think beyond the small sales pitch within this video you can really see his passion and excitement for the new ZR1 and Corvette culture in general. This really gives the Corvette guys something to be excited about, time to turn in that Z06 and upgrade!
