I took this photos back in 2008 during our Venetian parade in Charlevoix Michigan. The owner of this extremely rare vehicle drives it in the parade every year. When not in the parade it sits on his yacht. This picture was taken with a 5D and 24-105L.

Cute, but I like this one better... not exactly the same, but close...





...besides, I'm already half way there, I've got that tow vehicle.

I would rather have yours, but it would be hard to drive in the water with it.

Towing with the vette may be a little hard on the suspension and tranny! Several years ago, I saw a small jeep wrangler towing a 24'+ motor-coach. I'm sure the Jeep didn't last long.

The 'Vette tow vehicle pic is just a set up....you don't tow anything with them, though I have seen small 'tag a long' trailers like those used with motorcycles actually hooked up. The boat however is real.

on the Jeep!
