The Delta Drifters car club will also be holding a toy run, Toys for Tots on the same day, Dec. 3. This will be at the foot of Main street Rio Vista. The Rio Vista Corvette Club will be there also. ( We will hit both locations) So bring enough toys for two. From Abel Chevy, go south on Front street (along the river) to Main street. Go left on Main street or if Main street if full, park anywhere. The toy table will be set up down by the city dock in front of city hall.

Merry Christmas...

TOYS FOR TOTS CRUISE TO ABEL CHEVROLET: East Bay/South Bay


OK people we are getting close to this event and I thought I would start to set up meet locations....

For all of you that would like to meet in Pleasant Hill/Concord, lets say about 9:00am at Sun Valley Mall in the Bank of America Parking lot. This allows everyone to get up here by 10:00am when we can cruise out and either go straight to Abel, or meet up with Georges group in Fairfield where we will all then cruise up to Abel.

From San Jose:

You will want to take the Willow Pass exit off of 680. At the light turn left and go under the freeway and make your first right (not back onto the freeway) into Sun Valley Shopping Center. Immediately make your first right again and you will see the Bank of America with all the Vettes in the parking lot.

If you plan on meeting us here please post up so I know who to excpect and dont leave anyone behind..

This should be a great event this year. Hope you all can make it out...

The Marines just came by last friday and dropped off a toy bin for the things everyone is bringing. I told them I hope to have that thing full a couple times prior to the event and that it will likely be overflowing the day of the event.
