Vette(s): 1970 C3 Corevtte Stingray (T-Top) in Laguna Gray

Hello everyone!  I am fairly new here and have had my '70 Vette for a little over 1 year now.  I am located in the Los Angeles area of Southern California, and would be very open to attending an event if it was held locally.  Attending an event in another state would not be realistic for me at this time, though.  Thank you.

Nay, last year was my first year on this site, along with buying my 69. This site has been a great help to me as there were alot mechanical things wrong with it, that I missed when looking.  It had been 40 something yrs. since having a classic car so my mechanical skills are a bit rusty. Everyone has been so helpful with helping me fix what's wrong, so for that I say thank you. My driving limits for next year will 2-3 hours,  which being from the Chicagoland area will be Bloomington Gold next year.  Have a great year.  Thanks, Dan

I am sorry. I am battling cancer at this time in my life & need to keep my attention focused on that. I can still vote YEA even though I would be able to contribute to a member gathering. Happy New Year.

I would hate to see this feature go away I’have only been able to make 3 of the gatherings.  this is one of the features that makes this fourm special maybe it should be scheduled every other year. Since the Covid the world has changed some for the better and some for the worse and many are still playing catch up

I vote YEA!  I've only been a member for about 4 years and I haven't participated in one of these events yet. Personally, I'm over this COVID BS and I'm ready to get back to normal. The government's handling of this just, basically, put us all in a partial lockdown as they hyped it WAY over the Flu that it is. The Flu has killed way more people. The people are the true value in this group... much more valuable than the online capabilities. I'd rather talk to you on the phone than text. That's how I feel. Thanks to all of you that make this a special place!  God bless you all!

Some of our members' C3's may not be up to traveling far from home safely (mine for one). So a road trip may be nerve racking and a challenge. It's fun to have a C3 and I love tooling around in my Chevrolet but my concern for safety and well being on a road trip is an issue for me and may take all the fun out of it.

I always love to meet fellow C3 enthusiasts and I appreciate the previous comments regarding the opportunity. The C3 VETTE REGISTRY is great for connecting and sharing thoughts and ideas and getting help and advice.

I don't have a solid answer. Hosting a Member Gathering that is centralized to a higher density of members may help (like the east region). Piggybacking on another event may be advantageous to getting members together. With the member map that allows us to see members who live close by, and for those who are interested, it may be an opportunity to reach out to fellow members and gather at an event within a respective area.

I appreciate what you do Adam and all the time and effort you contribute to bringing the C3 family together.

Thank you.

Vette(s): 1969 convertible 427/390 5 speed triple black with L-88 hood; 2019 Stingray Coupe, auto, Long Beach Red; 2022 HTC, Hypersonic Gray; 1999 coupe donated to NCM

We very much look forward to seeing our C3VR friends every year at the annual gatherings. Although Covid disrupted those gatherings the last few years, we hope that the group will continue to get together in the future.

We feel that our next annual gathering would be most successful if it’s scheduled in the Eastern Region, as it is where we are likely to get the highest turnout. How about New Jersey or Massachusetts?
