The way I see it I have three weeks to convince you to change your mind!

Sounds like you did right by your family, sacrificed to make sure all is good.....go, have fun, reward yourself. Good work sir, I'd shake your hand if you were in front of me.

Not at all. As a Corvette enthusiast and previous owner, you're not going to be turned away. I guarantee it! I've been to the museum only in my coach that I travel the Country in. Were I not tied up with previously made time frame commitments in Texas, I'd be there this year! If you can swing it, go!

Isn't that what car manufactures are in business for.......to sell cars. The Bash is a family get together at the NCM to have a great time for 3 days.

I was on road trip last year to the annual NRA convention in my Malibu. I swung through the museum one morning. I was one of the first cars in the parking lot when they opened. An hour or so later and came out to this.






Ride the moped if you must, just go.

Dude, get thyself to the bash if you can. However, I will have to warn you. It could cost you a bit of money, 'cause you're gonna want one bad when you get back home.

You certainly have put your family first and that involved a few sacrifices along the way. Now take a breather, treat yourself and head to the bash.
