Cruise-In
Well as many of you know that the CI-6 was this week and It was such as great time. You can finally put a face to name, except for EnglandGreen I just photoshop him.
I seen so many awesome vettes such as GBVette, Y2Kvert4me, EG(yes with the neon
), Z06-Jim, Iceburgh, MyBlueC5 and many more and they all look better in person than they do in the pictures.
Many of these vettes look awesome and as a added bonus many of them have the get up and go.
I even meet the notorious Grumpy and his babe who was more like Happy
Finally met TrayC6 who is so cool, also met Dave Hill who is very down to earth and take the time to meet people.
Met Lager99 again my fellow Canadian drink buddy
I ran into so many C5 General member Such as the Chicago clan, The famous JoeCooool, 98 Black Magic, StangKiller18 and the FL leghumpers, Snowman etc...
Met many of the mods such as Mr Mojo who has a habit of locking thread started by Canadian.
The most asked question to me was "Where Do I get those Avatars?" My latest avatar is from the cruise-in.
As an added bonus the caravan to Las Vegas to fight Breast Cancer also made an appearance.
A big thanks has to go out the Roscoe for his awesome BBQ and to Adam Boca and all the people involved in putting the Cruise-in together.
I am hopefully will be going next year this time with the vette.
Hope to see many more people at the next Cruise-in
PS If I forgot to mention your name i am sorry since this weekend was so packed with fun events and fun times. Everytime I see a post with a members name that was there I get mad since I did forgot to put them in the original post
For those you I took Video for at the autocross i will try and get something done in the next few days and make a new post

I really wish I could have made it this year. Sounds like it was a lot of fun. I'll save a spot on the calendar for it next year - that's for sure.

Nice write-up Zilla. I've got to plan better next year. We did the Birthday bash this year. It looks like I better pencil in the Cruise-in for next year. Glad everyone had a good time and more importantly it sounds like everyone is making it home safe. I haven't seen many photo's yet of the Baymont festivities....... 
I guess people need to make it home and get their photos sorted and uploaded.

this was my first CI and it is better than the C5 bash. It is nice just to hang and talk cars and drink beer and walk to my room. That does not happen at the Bash but we need the venders there.

I had a great time while I was there, and my Dad and sister enjoyed it too. Sorry I didn't get to stay longer or meet more people. I took this picture Saturday morning.

Zilla,
It was great meeting you. Like you said, it was nice to put a face with all of the people that you socialize with on this forum. I's have to say that the only one who looked exactly as I'd pictured him was Grumpy. His wife even agreed. What do you think? It was a great time and the new Z06 looks hot!! Zuti
p.s. I got a video of the new Z06 doing that little burn out as it left the Baymont last night. Very cool, but I don't have the software to post it. I've got some other digitals that I'll post later.
