2012 Chuy's Blue Santa Parade - Austin, TX (Tons of pics)
So I drove the convertible to Austin to participate in the Chuy's Blue Santa parade and toy drive in downtown Austin. We had Elvis riding with us which turned out to make us the 2nd most popular attraction in the parade, Santa being the most popular (Elvis is the Patron Saint of Chuy's restaurants).








I love the way these pictures of the car in front of OUR NATIONS CAPITOL turned out
Yes, I said Our Nation...and Yes, that is the Capitol Building in Austin, TX. 



Normally, a local dealership brings trucks that drive between the floats so that at 12 noon the parade stops and people can fill the trucks with donated toys. There was no truck between us (Elvis) and Santa so I think people got a little confused...





It was cool to see my wife and kids as we passed...they had a blast.

In all, it was a great trip and the car performed flawlessly even after our pushrod scare. The A/C was cold and it cruised effortlessly at 68-70 mph. It was good to stretch her legs a little, and gave me some much needed confidence in the car
Although I'm not excited to get 11.33 mpg, I knew what I was getting into when I put the 455 in her lol!
