eboEbo, that's one of the reasons we couldn't take the C3, not enough luggage room. Sure looking forward to the trip... everyone says they're a ball to travel in. Sure wish you were gonna be there, buddy, really like to meet you. Maybe next time.

Try riding a Motorcycle with a wife and ALL the trappings. You learn to MAKE room, and use it wisely. When we got the VETTE and traveled, we were in comfort. We could move around, carry Much more and enjoy the ride. We even carried a tent and slept on the ground. That was years ago, but still fun.
We'll MISS the "EBO" folks. Sorry the days didn't line up for you. 
Larry - you guys will love cruising down the hwy in that pretty C6. Just set the temp, set the speed, set the tunes and sit back and enjoy 28+ mpg. I love my C3 the best, but them C6s are a pleasure to travel in.
Have a safe trip and enjoy the sites, see you in SC. - Dennis

Dennis,
I concur. I LOVE my C3, but you drive them because you WANT to, not for comfort. I have a C5 (had it for 7 years now) and on the National Caravan for the Corvette Museum's 15th annivesary I was getting 31 mpg. Our caravn was the VA, NC and SC. We did not fly down the road because we had some C2's and C3's upfront. We had the cruise set between 60 - 65 mph. Previously my wife and I had attended the 50th anniversary for Corvette in Nashville, and that was before the addition of the C5. My '78's A/C does not work (and will not be working for the gathering, so I hope for decent temp's, but it will be for the next national caravan in 2014), so we drove home in one shot with the T-tops off. We were sun burnt, wind burnt, partially deaf and beat-to-death.
Looking forward to meeting all of you people...no matter what Clint has said about y'all.

Larry, I have been waiting to see you and your C3 with the glassed in bumpers for a long time.

So when we do meet you beter have it with you!
Mark, yep I'm still bumbed out...
Too bad you did not have a C5 or C6, then you could bring along a few jack stands and maybe a 5HP compressor!
But I'm not sure it's a good thing to put a Cop in a way to fast Vette.......I can see the smokey U turns now......ouch Miss Shir you better tighten those belts down sweetie........just sayin 
eboOn second thought if you bring Miss Shirleys car instead of yours she could drive......she would never pull a U'eeee

Larry,
Did you fill in the seams between the bumpers and the body? (green with envy) When the day comes when I can afford to have my '78 re-painted, I wanted to have that seam filled in first. How does it look? Can you bring a picture along with you?
Mr. EBO did bring up a good point. Of all the people attending the gathering this year, what are the occupations? I am a Senior Electrical Designer (basically a non-degreed engineer...engineers get the glory when something is right...designers are the scape-goat when something goes wrong), with 34 years of experience. Industrial stuff.

Yup David, the bumper seams were filled in when the bumpers were replaced with fiberglass ones. It came out great and has a much smoother, sleek appearance. I'll try to remember to bring some closeup pics.
That is a good idea about the occupations of all the members. I think it would be a good thread on another forum, that way everyone can respond. Would give all of us a little more insight to the rest of our C3VR family. I'll see about getting one started.

I do not know how many of you attending have met Clint's wife (Judith), but you are in for a REAL treat. She is a beautiful lady and one of the absolute nicest people you will ever want to meet. 
(gosh...)
(gosh...)
(she tries to tell me that I am a nice guy, but that ruins my image I tell her)

I know she has a halo around her head and not a big ole hat!
