I have lots. It's called a Corvette Club. With about 150 members, it's like one big family.

My wife and I ride with a couple that lives down the street.

Its always a great time. When the ladies are not with us, we drive them much more agressive.

I don't belong to any clubs and yes I have friends with corvettes. Not all the cars are in MA though so they don't go driving with us all the time.

My best friend has an 03 EB Z06, another has an 03 QS Z06, my friends father has a black 07 Z06. I have an 06 C6.

If we were to get them together as a group one day we would have roughly the following.
1963 (split window)
1980 (nothing crazy but it has like 20K miles on it)
2003 EB Z06
2003 QS Z06
2006 DSOM C6
2006 MR Vert
2007 Black Z06
a purple C3
Another friends uncle also has 50th C5 still in plastic and an older corvette which I have never seen. I think its a C2.


A few of my friends have gotten rid of their vettes over the years as well and replaced them with different cars. (C4 LT1, and Yellow C5 Z06 come to mind that have left the group).

We started out with three friends with C5's. We now have two C6's, C5, and a Viper (we keep him in the back) and some various others. We take 4 or 5 extended road trips each year. (Just got back from Southern Utah and going to Oregon, North Idaho in a month) We have found that five cars is the most that we like to travel with because of the hassle of finding hotel rooms and restaurants. We communicate via hand held radios. We have really enjoyed it and has become one of the highlights of our lives.
