Driving mine!!!  Probably drive it all weekend too!  Almost drove it today but it was HOT!!  I'm waiting to get the 3oz of oil for my A/C system but i'll suffer tomorrow. It should be in my mail box when i get home tomorrow so the weekend should be at least a half tank run.

Won't be driving mine for about a week now. Came home from work today to find that the township road crew "chipped" the road in front of my house. Takes about a week for the gravel to embed into the blacktop. Means a mile drive on gravel. Don't think so! Was gonna take Friday off work and take the white 79 to Bloomington. Looks like Saturday now with mama's car.   Mike

[QUOTE=Ron 78]The insurance guys should'nt bother you,It is a corvette event,like a car show[/QUOTE]


 


DITTO....   My insurance person says that this Mid Amarica IS an EVENT for ALL CORVETTES.   So hope to see alot of VETTES out there.    


I'll be driving my vette around to see all of you in my area.

Ab-so-lute-ly!! It is a "National" event!
I won't be enjoying my '74, but I will be in the '85, because it's easier to get out of the garage!! And remember, folks..."Save the Wave" !!

Vette(s): 1974, 454 with 4 on the floor, matching numbers.

All I plan to do is drive to work, cruise around the building, and take it back home. I work for a truck leasing company, and there's too much traffic in and out of our lot. Can't take the chance of some one hitting my baby.

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

I saw 1 Vette on the road this morning, other than mine.

Plus it was on the highway, so I couldn't even get a wave out of it.

That sucks!  Where are all the Vettes hiding!??!

Vette(s): Coupe 74 - 454 Drive it like you stole it!
Didn't drive mine and only saw 2 C5 this morning around 7h30.  Surprisingly, they didn't wave back to my Explorer .
 
I was half-way through my tune-up yesterday to get it ready for this morning, but got interrupted and couldn't finish.
 
Could be wrong thread, but, is collector insurance that much cheaper ?

It's too hot today, and my AC isn't working.  The last time I drove in hot weather, I felt like I had sustained 3rd degree burns.  It took about 72 hours for my feet to cool down  I did see 4 C5's & 2 C4's

As for insurance, I use Grundy, they're very fair and uderstanding  about when we drive our cars. $200 a year for $500,000 coverage & agreed value.
