10. Replace gas cap BEFORE showing wife how to check oil. (10a. Gas caps are not made to withstand the weight of a car.)
6. When any two vettes park, they must be together and parked in the same
manner. With rare exception (i.e., Y chromosome deficiency), they
should always be backed in.

9. If a group of Vettes makes a stop, at least one must have its hood opened, regardless of whether or not there is a problem.
8. If there IS a problem, the owner must not attempt to fix the problem. This does not imply that he/she may not assist and offer suggestions.
7. Don't use a stop sign/left turn onto a busy street to get the cars back in a group.
5. When leaning out the window to take pictures, make sure your hat is tethered.
4. Mt. Shasta, CA, city ordinance: No restaurant shall continue cooking if they run out of onions.

3. Never let your S/O ride in a vette with nicer/newer seats.
2. NEVER follow the car with the GPS
And the number one rule is:
If you're driving a convertable, use sunscreen.
If you're driving a convertable, use sunscreen.

Alright already. I detect a number of tall tales generated by the Carson City experience. Probably enough ammunition for several weeks of postings. Karen's pix explained the "sunburn" reference, but pick one of the other references and let the feeding frenzy begin! The sharks are hungry! 
Well, the gas cap was us. Mikey (ParrotHead) decided that our stop at the gas station after the finale dinner was a good time to show me how to check the oil and transmission fluid. However, he forgot to replace the gas cap (which was laying on the back of the car) before beginning the lesson. By the time he was done, he had forgotten all about it! (I had a few drinks at the finale dinner and assume no responsibility for this faux paux. 
) It wasn't until we parked at the hotel that I noticed the gas lid up and no gas cap. We returned to the gas station to find the cap smashed in the driveway. 
Fortunately, when we stopped for gas the next day, Mike asked the attendant if they had any gas caps. She pulled out about 4 and said "pick one". Guess we're not the only ones.....

Okay how come I'm just hearing this story? It would
have created some good razzing on the trip home
