Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses. 2008 Jetstream Blue Convertible

Candi and I are also here. We got in last night, but the hotel computer was having fits (maybe it was the C3VR virus). So far the trip has been great! Of course, I haven't run into ebo yet...

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Vette(s): Used to own a 1979 Corvette now owned by JB79

I'm here.

Got in at 4:30pm. Would have been 4:10 if I wasn't stuck on the GWB for 20 minutes. MAN that bridge sucks!

I'm pretty certain I need an alignment... it was pulling left the whole way.

I probably need brakes.... hear some squealing while I'm NOT braking.

My left door lock no longer operates with the power lock switch.

My engine got to about 240o while sitting in traffic, that scared me. A little too close to the red zone.

Was nice to have the tops off the whole way. Now their calling for slight chance of showers here starting overnight tonight through the rest of the Gathering.

Saw Candy (manget1's wife) in the lobby as I was checking in.

Looking forward to dinner and drinks with the early arrivals tonight! (Emphasis on drinks) Wink

Callaway Cars tour was great. I got a brochure on the current prices in case anyone is interested

... Really enjoyed seeing the Mustang pulled over by the cops as all the Corvettes passed them on the interstate!

Candi and I passed on the submarine tour. Looking to possibly go in to Mystic and explore this afternooon.
