Your 78 PC/SA on the cover of Carlisle Magazine!
 

2008 will mark the 30th anniversary of the 1978 Vettes.  Of special note are the Silver Anniversary and Pace Car editions.

If you didn't already know, there will be special displays at the 2008 Corvettes at Carlisle that will feature these models. We're looking to display 78 of each model!  How awesome will that look!? 78 1978 Pace Cars in a row, and 78 1978 Silver Anniversaries in a row!

Lance Miller from Corvettes at Carlisle has asked me to come up with some pictures of 1978 Silver Anniversaries and Pace Cars. I'm asking you, the members of C3VR that own these Vettes, to submit pictures of your Vettes.

The winners will be featured on the cover of the 2008 Corvettes at Carlisle event magazine! Some of the others will be used for marketing materials for the event.

Images MUST be of the highest resolution possible! Of course, the better the shot, the more likely it will be to win.

Deadline for submission is 3/31/2008!

Please send your submissions to Carlisle2008@C3VRMail.com

Thanks and Good Luck!

New Email Service for C3VR Members!
 

We are happy to announce a new email service is now available to C3VR Members.

It is powered by Google and is, in our opinion, the best email service out there!

The email address you'll get will end in @C3VRMail.com

If you would like an account (with 2GB (2048MB) of storage) for free, please PM Adam and he'll set you up. Just specify 3 things:

  1. Your First Name
  2. Your Last Name
  3. What you'd like your email address to be yourname@C3VRMail.com

If you currently have a @C3VetteRegistry.com email address you should switch to this new service. We will likely be closing the @C3VetteRegistry.com email service as it costs money. This new service does not.

There is room for 500 email address, so plenty of space for all that want it.

Also, you'll have access to other services such as Calendar, Spreadsheets and Docs!

This is being offered free to all Standard, Gold & Lifetime members of C3VR.

Again, if you are interested, just PM Adam the info requested above and he will get back to you with your password when your account is set up.

We hope this is just one more feature that will enhance your C3VR Membership!

For your convenience, we have added the login link to the Community menu.

Notes about the new service:

  1. ADDRESS BOOK: If you are a user of C3VR's current email system (everyone.net) you may want to export your address book. However, for some dumb reason, there is no way to export contacts out of Everyone.net. Maybe as a way to try to keep you around. So you'll have to move the ones you want manually into the new system
  2. FOLDERS: Gmail doesn't use traditional "folders". They use "Labels". What you have to do is give a message a "label" like "My Vette" and after you apply the label, you "Archive" the message.  Then your list of Labels show up on the left side and use can go to them like folders. There are just no "sub-labels"
  3. EXISTING EMAIL: If you use everyone.net, you can't do POP retrieval from your everyone.net account if it is not a paid account. You'll have to manually move messages out somehow if you want to keep them. You could forward important ones to your new email address. Trash the rest.

Gmail takes some getting used to, but we do think it is a great system. It is not like any other email system out there.  If you were just coming to it without trying to switch accounts, you'll probably find it easier to get used to.

Need an article about 78 Vettes for Carlisle 08
 

We need an article (about 1 page long) about the 78 Pace Car & Silver Anniversary editions, along with some good pictures.

This will be used by Corvettes at Carlisle for the 2008 show which will feature these editions' 30th anniversary.

Please submit ASAP to Carlisle2008@C3VRMail.com   
 

ERROR in 2007 C3VR Member Calendar - DST Date!
 

In case those of you that own a 2007 C3VR Member Calendar set your watch by the C3VR Calendar, you should know that the Daylight Savings Time end date is incorrectly indicated.  The law changed this year. 

The calendar states it ends on 10/28. It will end on 11/4 this year.

Please make the change to your copy so you don't show up late for work /school on 10/29!
