Here's why I don't take the Vette. Granted, this was a hurricane, but heavy rain does this to the downtown area as well. And yes, this is Ocean City, Md.

We will be down there as well. Not sure if we are taking a vette down or just the escape. We rent a house in Dewey beach de.. It's about 15 miles north of ocmd, but it's a very nice drive and we don't have to park our cars down there.. I know there is a ls1tech meet at 2pm on Saturday at the roses shopping center, any vette meets going on?

My wife works for Ocean City, but we don't live there. I know how high some of the curbs are getting into and out of places are down there. I know how Coastal Highway and the southern end of OC floods when there's heavy rain and storms. I've seen guys get their Vettes totaled because of sea water flooding out their cars. Mine is really low, so I don't take it.
Now if I had a classic...........in a heartbeat. Fantastic show, good vendors, lots of freebies, plenty to see and do. It's a great show. $10 a day or get a $30 3 day pass. Both will get you into all the shows and the Convention Center. Looking forward to it.

Yes, some of those curbs are no joke for a low ride!! I also noticed that some of the entrances and exits to the same parking lot are not always consistent; an entrance can be low car friendly and the exit is not and visa versa. My Z06 doesn't do well there but I still go and just walk a lot (it's faster!!!).

You nailed it. My other concern in taking the Vette is the hotel parking lots are always full.........and sometimes really small. I'd feel less upset if my Caddy door got dinged than if the Vette did. I'll be there Thursday through Sunday. Looking forward to year #21 for us. Vette or no Vette.

TIME TO GO! Safe travels everyone. Looks like the weather will be cool on Thurs and Fri, but hot on Saturday and no rain!

Are there any vette meets? If not we could make our own? Hopefully a place with a shallow drive apron!

The new 45th St. Village would be a good place. Low apron and lots of room. I won't have my Vette with me, but if I see a bunch of you gathered I'll stop. There are shows all over town, but Hooters on 123rd St. is closed up, so no show there this year. Berlin, West OC, Convention Center, and the Inlet. And if you are planning on going to the concert, it's THURSDAY night this year instead of Saturday like in the past.
Man, I'm ready. It's 47* here right now.

Saturday is insane with traffic for sure. We stay on 5th so we don't have to drive Friday or Saturday nights. Last I checked, the Hooters lot was a mess. Broken up and in bad shape. That was last fall. Could be fixed up, but don't know who would do it without Hooter's being there any more.
The Hooter's on 5th St. has live music Friday night (friend's husband and his buddy.........very good).

The place is INSANE tonight. Everyone is doing burn outs, Seacrets is jammed full, the Convention Center was standing room only too. It's crazy. Someone poured soap into the fountain at the Wine Rack. White suds everywhere!
Too damn many diesel pickups though. Black smoke galore. But let the good weather continue, and the good times roll on!

I got an effing parking ticket!!! Another ticket!!!# OMG
So ill be the resident reporter for the upper end:
Hooters on 123rd is alive and well!!! At least the parking lot was! Lots of Classy cars and some awesome builds! Always amazes me how much time and money and heart individuals put into this hobby!
There was a 61 Blk Pro stock Impala that was effing over the top!!! A twin turbo custom 61 VETTE before paint that was incredibly done.
Lots of burnouts and first gear pulls with not a cop in sight! I couldnt believe it..... like, OK, when they gonna shut this place down?
Most were civil about it.... adults..... but wait! Here come the Stangs! My god.... i didnt know rabbits and horses had similar mating patterns.... where the hell they all come from? (Mr Shelby RIP)

I'm staying on 5th St. and the only day I've been able to get out of the parking lot was Thursday! Bumper to bumper to bumper all day and night. Anybody else see the guys with the blow up doll and beer bottle stuck up her butt? LOL Funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
