New York City Toy Run

[DanS711]

Here are a couple of pics I took at the New York City Toy Run through Manhatten on Sunday night. You know that old saying about being colder than a witches you know what, in a steel bra, well thats how cold it was up there!

This is on 34th St, in front of Macys right before the cops basically kicked us out of town

Dan,

Great shots! You look a bit frozen standing behind your car.

It was a Northeast Corvetteforum (http://forums.corvetteforum.com/northeast-40/) event.
We all donated gifts for kids affected by AIDS to the AIDS Center of Queens County, Queens County, NY (http://www.acqc.org/index.php)

It was very cold but we were in our cars 95% of the time...

[Joel Fellman]

What - no pics of bums (or Dave Letterman) cleaning your windshields?? And although any place is great to give gifts to kids, couldn't you find someplace just a little bit closer to home??
Just kidding! Nice pics, Glenn!! And for a good cause!!

I don't drive to New York, had some bad experiences coming home from a Pink Floyd, The Wall concert.

It was real cold when we were out of the cars, see how red my nose is in the picture, thats not from drinking, I think it was frozen. As Glenn said it was put on by the Corvette Forum - Northeast Section. Check out the website, they have a lot more pictures. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/northeast/2200390-pics-nyc-christmas-postcard-tour.html

It was a lot of fun, not something I would do on a regular basis, but one of those "had to do it at least once" things. The traffic up there was sick, but those guys find room to grab a couple of gears and make some noise and the onlookers loved it.
