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

Hey gang...

please keep in mind... bringing your C3 Vette is certainly NOT a requirement to attend our annual gathering.  While it is neat to have your C3 amongst the others, it is also about meeting the people in person that you know so well behind a computer screen. 

Ask the handful of people that brought a non-Vette vehicle with them to the 2006 gathering, and they'll tell you that had a blast regardless!

It is VERY likely that for the first time my wife and son will be joining me for the 2007 gathering, and we certainly can't fit 3 people in a Vette... nor do I want to drive it across the country even if I was going by myself, so we'll be flying in and renting some non-Vette to get us around. 

Oh, and if you have a Vette from another generation that you'd rather bring...that's fine to. Again, we had folks that did that this year.  In fact, yellownredvette doesn't even own a C3, so he brought his C5.

The important thing is just to be there.  We don't care how... just be there!

Adam;

Folks could probably fly in and rent a Vette.  Probably not a C-3, but a vette none the same.

Don't you mean winning MY gas money? If you're going to offer your Vette to me, you should also offer the fuel!

Not to worry, tho. We will have at least one of ours there.

I'm going to try to come, but will also be flying out and renting a car. I would love to rent a Vette but I'm sure the price is crazy high. I looked into it in Vegas and decided it was not worth it. I rented a jeep and did some off roading now that was worth it!

So Larry, are you going to become part of the great NW caravan? Terry and I are all ready getting ready. But first I must pay off my gas bill from the last one.

When and Where is it going to be this year?

I doubt I can attend as my wife and I both used our 3 week vacations all at once.  But if its not far away and over a weekend I could try.
