Default NCM Expansion update

Greetings all,

Happy New Year. I posted this thread over in the C6 General section and it was suggested that I link it over here. I know that many of you are supporters of the National Corvette Museum and I suspect that many of you may not make it over to the C6 section too often. As a former C5 owner I wanted to share the thread with my C5 buds. Enjoy.

Paul

Thanks, Paul! All I can say is WOW! We live 100 miles from the NCM and visited last fall for the first time and also took the factory tour. Awesome experience but I can see another trip is in our near future to see the expansion. We are also members of the NCM and support it as much as we can to help ensure it's growth.

Ed Greetings, Happy New Year and glad to see you are still holding down the fort.

My wife and I are in the process of building a new home and relocating to the Bowling Green area. You will need to come down and visit. The museum is coming along just great and even with the economy and the car industry woes the museum is still thriving. I could not get over how many people were visiting when I was down there last week.
