Vette(s): Gone, but not forgotten: 1974 Coupe Red, matching numbers, Black Interior, L-48 w/ 4 speed; The “Admiral”, also gone and never to be forgotten. 1994 Admiral Blue LT-1 coupe, Black Interior Automatic

Wednesday morning I got into a pick-up truck with a guy I had never met face to face for a 16 hour ride to meet a group of total strangers. I returned last evening after spending 3 days with one of the nicest, most gracious, fun loving groups I have ever encountered. Strangers have become friends with some great memories.....John's cruises throught Arkansas Mountains....go-karts.... the Esso station....McLard's....Catch Phrase with Butch and Jane.....I had a GREAT time. Thank you all, but a special thanks to Norsky for inviting me to tag along. When do we leave for New England? Are we there yet?

There is no substitute for low end torque!

Ahhhh..... another gathering, a few mores faces, alot more stories......

Very nice time we did have... yep, yep, yep we did....

Thanks to all of those who help bring this together! You did a FANTASTIC job!!!

Thanks for all of the members who were able to take time out of your busy schedules to come. I only regret that I wasn't able to spend more time with some of you and get to know you better. (1 day was toooo short)

For those of you who I was able to spend some time with I hope that you enjoyed yourselves at the gathering as I did...

I hope I wasn't too mischeivious for you.......

Here are a few observations from a Tuxical viewpoint....

Time is too short when we gather!!!

Red Stinger Hoods on Black C3's ROCK!!!

Our cars looked better than those at local car shows...

Food Fights are still FUN ...

LITTLE DAWGS like sweet tater fries...

Made from scratch brownies taste better from Michigan...

A Van + Truck = VUCK...

Additional Larry's don't hurt a thing...

People from Texas have no regard for the leader on a go cart track...

Never trust Stingray Jim with his phone if your away from your significant other...

Index finger pointing towards a round circle has something to do with Frank and should only be visualized in word games.

911 should be a speed dial number on Dave & my cell phone if we are going continue to get up at 5 and huff & puff / run.....

C5's scrap hard when being pushed up a mountain by C3's

Sweet Taters don' last long inside Little Dawgs...

Career choices aren't always as glamorus upon inspection.....

C5's go down a mountain quickly with the occupants hands in the air until a hairpin is reached.....

Little Dawgs are still classified as pets....

Why is theme song from COPS mine on somebodies ringtone???

0 - 60 is permissible after departing a BBQ eatery.

Some spouses continuously ask the question, "Why me LORD...?"

Mel's beautifull car has leaked as bad as mine once in the rain...

Hot Springs have the ugliest ducks on the face of the planet.

A long drive is worth it even if it is for the shortest time spent with friends....

I miss you guys already.....

and my final word..............

MOO....
