First you go to Detroit in January to see the C7 up close for the first time, probably just one car in one color.

Then go to Bowling green in April to see the other colors and interiors and wheels, sit in the car, attend various seminars on every little detail on the development of the C7.

(This will be my 16th "Birthday Bash", never miss it!)

Fixed the problems I was having.
Me and the wife are now registered!
This will be our first Bash.

Never had a plant tour, so I'm bummed the plant will be closed to tours.
The C7 will be long out of the bag at that point, so I'm not sure why.

The plant will probably still be converting to the new assembly line. C7 regular production to start sometime in August.

I see that one of the seminars is "Tire Tech by Michelin"...so most likely the C7 tires will Michelin.

I've been to the Museum five times, and to the plant four times. Enjoy them both, immensely.

I think we(club I belong to) will wait for a trip over to Bowling Green in the early Fall, so we can do the plant tour and see the manufacturing processes for the C7. I'll know all the info presented at the Bash from reading about it here on the Forum.

The National Corvette Museum is excellent. We will excitedly be returning to the Birthday Bash.

Having a three day weekend of fun, with presentations by many of the C7 development engineers will be a treat! All for less than a $25 event fee.

I'll be there...no question...

Main highlight for me will be the seminar to ask Tadge about the breakdowns in security they've experienced with the development. Very interested to hear the inside/declassified story about jalopnik and what not. Also, looking forward to seeing this thing up close.
