Well I'm taking my C5 home to the plant and museum! I've never been to Bowling Green so I'm really looking forward to the trip! My cousin is taking museum delivery on his new C6 and GrayC5 and his neighbor Ike and I are going along in our C5's! We're leaving in about an hour!

I've been to both twice (before getting my vette), and will keep going back. Have a safe trip!

You are going to love it. I was fascinated by the assembly plant and seeing the entire process of making a corvette. And then seeing all the historic vettes at the museum was an added bonus. Besides the museum delivery of my 2003, I've been to the plant and museum about 5 times and love it every time.

Have a safe trip!

You will enjoy the museum. I hope that you can ge in the museum. They charge admission now & have certain hours of tours. Because you have payed for R8C, you may get a tour(private). The plant is conducting tours 3x a day M-F. I am not sure about the R8C folks. Check with the museum for the delivery date to be sure you can go thru the plant........It is truely the kewlest thing........

BTW.......Tell cousin ....Congrats on the new ride!

Have a good trip. I've been twice and had a blast both times.

Take a camera so you can get some good shots of your Vette in front of the plant and museum while you are there.

And oh yeah share when you get back,
