Kind of a reality check... I think the Internet has got a lot of us taking spy shots for granted.

I did the same thing when I went to Bowling Green a few years ago... snooped aroudn the plant and all, almost expecting to see a C6 or an XLR (neither were out yet).

For the record.......... I saw nothing.

The funny thing is. I live about 4 miles from the proving grounds in Milford, Michigan. The place has huge barb wire fences all the way around and then wooded areas inside of that.

But, they take stuff out of there and drive it on the street all the time. There is always masked up stuff running around, or models that have not been officially released for purchase yet.

Ford does the same thing in AZ and Florida. When the 05 mustang was being tested, pics came in all the time from the areas around the proving grounds.

The proving ground in SW FL has a swamp around it, They have stuff out there all the time.. Although it was cool to see the new mustang about 7-8 months before it was out on the market..

all the spy shot's I have posted have been from there. I own a lake house in Havasu a short drive away. My parent's are actually looking at buying a house in Yucca, the town the proving ground is located in. Guess that might mean ALOT more spy shots for you all having a board member right outside the gates.
