Default 1st Car Show today

Heading to my first ever car show today I will be at the Rolling Thunder Car Show in Venice Florida. I joined the Venice Corvette Club and we will meet up & be going there in a club caravan. I am excited

I spent the past week detailing my 99 C5 to the point you would think it's straight off the showroom floor.

If you're in the area stop by I'd love to sit with you and talk cars

I'll let you know how it was :-) later today

Good to hear, it should be fun no doubt. I've got a long way to go up hear before anything resembling a car show happens.

Have some respect for your Northeast forum members. You will never know what its like to read your post with a blizzard outside.

Have fun !

Good luck at the show. Remember it's about having fun, not necessarily about winning awards, although if that happens it's great. Post up some pics when you get back.

Well, I hope you don't get blown away. I am further south in Bonita Springs and we are getting 40- 50 mph winds. Enjoy.

I was proud. Stacked up with all the C6 & C7's. Had a great time meeting people from all over the world. Fun being a VFC member. Yes it was windy for sure. No hoods or trunks open for any of us corvette owners.
