I learned that when cruising never follow a Red Chromie

epically when the driver of such chromie is also a Chromie
I learned that when DaveW goes jogging he should never chew gum at the same time
I learned that Indy99 is actually from Monroe Michigan
I learned that if you wanna cheer up an old man just call him and sing happy birthday
I learned that people from C3VR can't sing
I learned that Tux really does wear a Tux
I learned that Lora and Jill love peanut butter ( Peter Pan)
I learned that if you want a peaceful weekend you need to separate Butch and Jani right out of the gate
I learned that C3VR has its own personal Hugh Hefner.
I learned that Levitra can not only give you a blue tongue, but also a halo that looks a lot like an Indian Headdress
I learned that Janie loves to cook with a 9" pan
I learned (from Janie) that a 9" pan may not be what it appears to be
I learned that Limbo is good for your gall bladder, which is right below your heart under you kidneys
I learned that C3VR people are the greatest in the world and really hard to say goodbye to

I learned while leading a bunch of Corvettes ... I can't never be sure if I still have everybody , including my WIFE!
I learned that everybody here...IS...exactly the same in person!
I learned everyone that came is the most easy going and open minded bunch I have ever met!
I learned when driving through two round-a-abouts in a row to floor it!
I learned not to leave my son in an idling Vette in Amish Country or the flies will drive him Crazy!
I learned that sometimes it is best not to lock your Vette!
I learned that I could lose my Wife again a couple miles from home!
( Don't worry she keeps coming back.)
I learned with the right group of people anything can be fun!

I learned that I could get a rash, instantly.
I learned when you go on a cruise you better keep your eye on the leader.
I learned that cheese is bad for your veins.
I learned that if you have your own steel company, you can own as many Vettes as you want.
I learned that there are a lot of over-priced Vettes in one building and I can't afford any of them.
I learned that all Amish folks wave to Vettes. And everyone else.
I too am looking forward to the next get toghther. This weekend. In NH

[QUOTE=82-2tone]I learned this in the parking lot outside the motel:
No matter what, the dipstick is ALWAYS on the drivers' side of the car...
and..I learned this at the intersection of Indiana Route 1 and US 35 coming home:
No matter WHAT you're driving, you can't do 75 in a 55....(real picture, we had to grab the camera, turn around, and take the picture 'cause I'm sure no one would believe it without photo evidence)...I hope the image link turns out OK...

Dave..... GPS also may not tell you if a street is One Way or not.... So enter at your own risk...
John.... swapping partners is in reference to Butch rode with me and Mrs. Tux road with Janie to Ft. Wayne....
Bob.... I will vouch for you... That is definitely an I.S.P. L.E.O.! Trust me I should know!!!
Mike.... thanks for fixing Bobs pic!

Bob,
I showed you my dip stick is on the PASSENGER side.
And great picture. Well worth coming back for.
As for speedometers pegged at 85, you can include mine for most of the trip home. Saved me at least 1/2 hour. And I beat the rain for the most part.

Yeah Dave,
But I was ASSURED no matter where the dipstick was physically on the engine, it was ALWAYS on the drivers' side..
Glad to see you made it back without much wet stuff...great to see you again!
Mike,
Thanks for fixing my inability to post pictures...I wonder if ignorance is genetic or just inherited....
I've got the "posting pictures on C3VR with PhotoBucket" di-rections that I'll try and use to post some great shots of everyone by their cars at the birthday party...well, almost everybody...the only person I got by the PT Cruiser I think was someone trying to let the air out of the tires...

Nice picture! Even though Tony Stewart is from Indiana , we still don't like him! 
Dale Jr. cars get free passes!

Bob,
Did you mean that the dipstick is behind the wheel?
I was searching radio channels on the way home and heard the last two or three laps of the NASCAR race to hear Jr. win it.
Congrats to him and the Hendrick Team.

I personally want to give Donna & Jim a GREAT BIG THANK YOU for the birthday cake for everyone. Even tho it was delivered in a HONDAAAAA it was still darn good and such a big surprise!! I want all of you to know that a lot of people pay an awful lot of good money for this kind of amusement. So Tux, go ahead and send all the gag gifts you want my way (30 hours and still going strong!). It's nice to be more popular than most of our politicians. Thanks to everyone for making this a spectacular week-end. You just can't get enough of this kind of fun. Had to park the Vette and get on a hot tractor and cut hay all day Monday, then raked and baled today. Forgot I didn't have 6 speeds?! Terry, hope you're practicing "Catch Phrase" for the next cruise-in!! See you in the pits. Butch
