Breast Cancer News

I recently received news that my cousin had breast cancer.

Shortly afterward we learned that a dear friend here in Reno also had breast cancer. She is recovering from a mastectomy.

We pray for their prompt recovery.

Corvettes Attend Homecoming Parade

Image
The Reno Corvettes drove in the parade for the Truckee High School Homecoming.  Seven Corvettes participated.  We carried the Homecoming King and Queen and members or the Court.

Hot Lap in Corvette ZR1

Hot August Nights, Reno's classic car extravaganza, is going on now through Sunday, Aug 11.  Some 4000 to classic cars are officially registered with an estimated 2000 or 3000 more just prowling around. As part of HAN Chevrolet brings its best in the form of the Corvettes of the Ron Fellows Driving School.  We were able to ride a "hot lap" in one of their Corvettes.  The Corvettes have something in excess of 600 horsepower and I must say, the ride, for lasting slightly over 30 seconds was still quite a thrill.
