A lot of people meet up at a shop in Costa Mesa and then cruise over to the restaurant. The owner does a buffet and makes the parking lot Vettes only. Then basically just shoot the breeze for a few hours and then head home. I'll post a link to the most recent thread...

Happy Birthday and Congrats! As so many others have said, please be careful.

I am 62 and have wanted a vette for as long as I can remember. Somehow, it just never happened. I settled once for an MGB and once for a 280Z, but never got around to the vette. I started searching about three weeks ago, and Saturday I am driving 8 hours (4 out and 4 back) to look at and hopefully buy my first. Hey, I am only 44 years behind you! I will let you know how it goes.

Happy Driving!
Joe
