<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1918103, member: 16948&quot;]I especially look forward to attending the PNNA Tukwila (Seattle) show since my brother Paul lives just outside of Seattle and I get to spend time with him and his wonderful girlfriend Vicki.&nbsp; So I arrived at the John Wayne airport on Thursday, had my customary preflight beverage – this time it was a very refreshing rum and pineapple juice since had been in the 90’s for the past several days.&nbsp;

While I was waiting, I noticed a beautiful shiny bright red Corvette pull up just ahead of me.&nbsp; I was thinking, “Wow, who’s the lucky person who is getting picked up in this beauty?”&nbsp; Then I see Paul climbing out of it – I had forgotten he recently bought a beautiful 2002 red Corvette!&nbsp; Boy, this baby looked brand spanking new!&nbsp; Then I began thinking, “Geese, how are all my bags going to fit in this car?”&nbsp; Well, he pops open the back and sure enough, not only do all my bags fit, but he also had his trumpet and other band bags in there!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/10171046_10202086213052545_6942891990353085594_n.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://scontent-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t1.0-9/10153014_10202086215452605_6683979619667721235_n.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/t1.0-9/1625548_10202086215612609_7357165157924527646_n.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Wow, what a fun car to ride in, it accelerated so smoothly and fast, and took sharp corners so easily, it was a lot of fun!&nbsp; But the first question I asked him was how many tickets has he gotten.&nbsp; He said he actually drove more carefully in this car than his regular car since he knew his “arrest-me-red” sports car was definitely a cop magnet!</p><p><br /></p><p>So we drove through the city and headed to downtown Kirkland to meet Paul’s friend for dinner before they had band practice.&nbsp;
