[QUOTE=cj5nutz]Karen, we have a 77 also and the trick to luggage is soft luggage bags. We can pack the T Tops, two folding Corvette chairs and 5 duffel size luggage bags in the back of the 77 and still have room for two speakers and some cleaning supplies. Its all in how you pack it. Theres a lot of room in the upper left and right sides that usually doesn't get used if you just shove things in the back.
Suzy pretty much packs the house when we go off in ours, so I had to learn to make the most of the space.
Last year while returning from Bowling Green we ran into a storm, big black clouds and frequent lightning and large rain drops. It was quiet the show watching me get the T Tops from under all that luggage on the side of the road and getting it all packed back in . I think I did it in about 2 minutes, luggage was flying everywhere. [/QUOTE]
So tell her the truth Scott.... Tell her ta buy a big trailer ta put the car in. (maybe 2 cars) Then don't forget to put the luggage in the trailer. Why shucks there plenty of room left in both vettes an the truck ta boot.

[QUOTE=Adams' Apple]Karen, the solution is simple...buy another Vette, and drive BOTH!!
Mama and I cannot make much more than an overnight/two night trip in the '74. The '85 will hold much more crap(all MAMA'S
).
We did once go on an NCRS road tour in the '74 for three days...not a happy site...
This is why we always take two cars...that, and the fact we can't stand to be in the same car with each other that long!
(not really...and don't ya'll tell her I said that!

Your secret is safe with me!!! I'd love another Vette. In fact, after we bought this one (which was my idea, my dream, etc., etc.) my husband said (after driving it), "you wouldn't mind if I got a nicer one for me, would you?" I said, "heck no; I'd drive it too!!!!" Maybe I'll win the Vette that's being raffled!

Karen, Step away from my Corvette! Why do you think I am buying a trailer . I have to get it home somehow and rumor has it that sometimes C5 s will not start every time. 

I see my old buddy
Tux
is trying to give me a hard time about the luggage thingy.

Karen,
What a wonderful idea 2 vetes one old one new, his & hers. That sounds Like a great plan (hope it works).
Don't you mind Scott he & Suzi already have there 2. Plus he has that big red "My Garage" on wheels ta store the mobile dreams in.
Ya know he's right about that C5 not starting thing. Given that I believe maybe I better enter the drawing too!
