He actually feels that way because of his need for people to bow to
the once mighty ZR1. Which leads me to the theory that *most* people
who own/drive ZR1`s are just plain arrogant, self centered, phony,
immature a(at)(at)holes. That condition is aggravated by the rattling of
their brain because of the shaking of the "flexible flyer" called the
C4. ;-p
On the other hand all Corvette owners deserver to receive a friendly
wave. That in its self does not preclude the probability that there
are a few jerks in the ranks. In the 49 1/2 years of waving to and
associating with Corvette owners I`m met a few of master race and
others that own them to enjoy the experience. More than once I`ve
decided to get out of Corvettes because of the master race
mentalities. Then a new owner comes into the circle an it`s a joy to
watch them become a true Corvette enthusiast.
As for the cell phone thing I would think we need to get used to that
as it will be here just as the non-waving Corvette owners will always
be among us.

LOL
C4`s do seem to be the last of the consistent "wavers".
I always get a wave from other Vette Owners C4 and down.
But mine isn`t a stock appearing C4 (lowered, open billet wheels, 12in
wide & 315`s rears
and detailed brakes) and they just might be looking at the car for the
car itself.
Or just looking at the handsome, talented driver........ LOLOLOL

Touched down this afternoon in Atlanta Georgia. I’m here for this weekend’s Obsession Fest at the Atlanta Dragway hosted by Obesssion Car Club. I went right to work and shot Edgar’s 64 Impala from Obsession Car Club. Stay tuned for more updates throughout the weekend!
I shot this on the way to the photoshoot.

Title: FDNY NewFigures York Fire Department Helicopter, Cars, Engine Ladder Truck Playset
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2009 19:26:12 +0000
Author: eririnkawaeii
Description
FDNY New York Fire Department Helicopter, Cars, Engine Ladder Truck Playset. These are the toys for every boy who dreams of being a fireman. Offers hours of fun and safe play action. Great as a gift for any occasion.
The New York City Fire Department or the Fire Department City of New York (FDNY) has the responsibility for protecting the citizens and property of New York City’s five boroughs from fires and fire hazards, providing emergency medical services, technical rescue as well as providing first response to biological, chemical and radioactive hazards.
The FDNY, the largest municipal fire department in the United States, has approximately 11,600 uniformed officers and firefighters and over 3,200 uniformed EMTs and paramedics. It faces an extraordinarily varied challenge. In addition to responding to building types that range from wood-frame single family homes to high-rise structures, there are the many bridges and tunnels, large parks and wooded areas that can give rise to major brush fires, and one of the largest subway systems in the world. These challenges add yet another level of firefighting complexity and have led to the creation of the motto for FDNY firefighters of New York’s Bravest.
Organization
Like most fire departments in the United States, the New York City Fire Department is organized in a paramilitary fashion. The department’s executive staff is divided into two areas including a civilian fire commissioner who is in charge of the department and a fire chief who is the operational lead. The current fire commissioner is Nicholas Scoppetta and the current fire chief is Salvatore Cassano. The executive staff includes the civilian fire commissioners who are responsible for bureaus within the Department, along with the Chief of Department, Chief of Fire Operations, Chief of EMS, the Chief Fire Marshal and the staff chiefs. Staff chiefs include the seven citywide tour commanders, the Chief of Safety, and the Chief of Fire Prevention.
