Random Photo of the Month: The Groundwolf Car

 

Took this photo at a Corvette show in South Dakota.  It's a nicely restored C1 Corvette.  Looks very fast.  I'm curious about the Groundwolf story.  Not sure if Groundwolf is the owner, the custom pinstripe painter, or something else.  I Googled Groundwolf and found some interesting possibilities.

 

Groundwolf is:

1.  A barrel aged IPA craft beer by DC Brau Brewing Company.  The beer took its name from hops, an ingredient prevalent in IPA beer recipes.  The hops plant is called "groundwolf"  because it overgrows neighboring plants.

 

2.  A swift-running ground dwelling spider known for its hunting prowess.  Ugly, hairy, and quick to pursue it's prey--not something I hope to ever encounter.

 

3.  A transformer categorized as a laser beast with land attack powers.  Whatever that means.

 

Groundwolf also is a popular internet name in various places.  

 

My curiosity about the Groundwolf car is now even more intense.



Photos from the Black Hills Corvette Classic 2012: Hot Summer Nights

Hi Corvette fans.

I'm recently back from a road trip to the Black Hills Corvette Classic (BHCC) in South Dakota. This is a fantastic annual Corvette event held in one of the most scenic areas of the country. I can report that the weather was warm and sunny throughout the trip, no surprise there.

We spent our first night in Sioux Falls to attend the Hot Summer Nights festival in downtown Sioux Falls. The festival was well attended by Corvettes this year.  Photos below.

Interesting vanity plate.  Says "Keepn it" but there's a for sale sign on the top left corner of the windshield. 

This is an incredible 1963 split window coupe that was prominently parked at an intersection at the event.  The car had a historical license plate from South Dakota which was a sharp addition to an amazing car.  Wow!

 Notice the Corvette Wave "glove man on a stick" next to the seat.  Save the Wave!

This is actually the back end of a trailer attached to a C5.  The trailer is an exact replica of the car.  I like the "shoes" plate.   I may need to borrow this thing the next time we go traveling in the Vette.  You can never have too much room for shoes!  

As you can see, a good time was had by all.  See you next year.
