Default Who needs some work on their C3?

I thought I would post this over here for my C3 brethern... I know mine could use some work! I know there are plenty of C3s that could use some work...

There is a new award this year at Corvettes for a Cure:

• "TLC Award" Bring any Vette in any condition, as long as you can drive it to the show, and have the chance to win gift certificates from major parts vendors!

This means there is no excuse to not enter your Vette this year! Even if it isn't "show worthy" you can bring it and have the chance to win valuable prizes!! The prize pool is already pretty substantial and getting bigger still.

5th Annual Corvettes for a Cure
Center for Arts & Technology
Phoenixville, PA
July 20 2008 : 10am - 4pm
Register online now to save $5 off the day-of-show fee.

Hope to see you there!

The pre-reg deadline is 6/20/08. If you register before that date, you'll save $5 off the regular regisration cost. So register now. Don't wait for the day of the show.

There is some good money up for grabs here! Get some parts for your Vette if you win this class!!

I don't think I even get that!

Maybe if I block off the fuel to one of my carburators I might. Then again, even if I got 30 mpg it would still be a long long drive for me.

Hmmm, 106 mile road trip sounds fun and I could use the TLC on a spot that needs glass work and a new front bumper. Let me talk it over with the Mrs.

The funds are going to a cause that hits home.
