Most memorable.... Might have to be the almost 10 car pile up on a cruise we had with Jack Mark Brian Steve and a couple others. Never thought i was gonna see the front end of a c4 going around that corner. Everyone fortunately was alright and the cruise lived on. Hopefully no repeat memories like that. Have to say going out with Cobra4B Brian Welladjusted Michael 2k1vette Joe was a tone of fun. The best though definately was cruising up there with good friends. Unless anyone saw Max01GreenMachine at the bar. Has to be some of the funniest moments of my life. Gotta love the bull.

I can't wait either, it will be my first and to top that, since I have had my vette and was stationed in Hawaii, it will be my biggest CORVETTE EVENT!

Look forward to meeting you!

Wish I could go. Gonna have to wait at least one year before I try to make one. New job and vacations are going to be difficult to arrange. Better though than my old one where I was stuck with one week vacation a year. Working there 4 years and only 1 week vacation, what crap. New job will be different... Sorry for the small rant, I'm a bit under the influence... hahah... At least with the new job I get weekends off too.. What a change. I will make one soon, I promise!!!

I hate to revive an old thread but I'll do it anyways since I just found out about this one. I miss a lot anymore since I'm rarely in the C5 section. I'm stuck with all the stiffs in the C6 Z06 section.

Brad.....Whats up??? Hope everything is well. You bringing your own designated driver to the Cruise-in this year or do i have to handle those duties again?

I probably wont have the "party wagon" with me this year so we'll have to seek alternative means.

Hey Chris....yeah we definitely had a good time last year. Our cruises are an annual tradition so plan on joining in again. And I agree, the bar and the bull were a lot of fun. But dont forget about "Betty's" bar too, the rednecks there were quite entertaining.

Chris....yeah, I've got my new Z06 now and wont be showing off on the dyno again. Just think, a .25 cent hose clamp just about ruined my whole weekend last year. Luckily, it was an easy fix.

I'm really beginning to get excited for the Cruise-In. Its still a little ways off but at least the weather is getting better in this area so maybe I'll be able to get the new car out an break it in a little bit before the Cruise-in.
