Do they get much Corvette stuff like wheels ect? I went to the Corvette show for a day but didn't have the car yet. Just wondering if it would be worth the drive, admission, gas ect.

Spring and fall Carlisle are a hit or miss deal. They're a non specific car event. You can not park on the fair grounds like you do at Corvette's at Carlisle. The vendors go from below the grandstands up the hill to the turnpike. If you do decide to go you'll need a hand cart or wagon to take your purchase (if large) to your car. If it were me I'd check out vendors like Bob's House of Wheels or JW Motoring or any of the auction sites first. BILL

Yeah I've been to the Spring & Fall show years ago and I know it's huge. I also didn't see any real "deals" at the Corvette show. You are probably right as to buying online. By the time I pay for gas and the ticket to get in, it would be up to the cost of shipping.
