^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That pretty much sums it up

This article is interesting, but how would they determine who the 75 local Corvette enthusiasts are? I can't think of what database they would pull these email addresses from?

Then by the means, they would have to assume every Corvette owner is an enthusiast. I guess the people who hated their Corvette wouldn't go.

45th!?!?!?! Holy Crap. Someone take this guy as a guest, I think 45 Vettes qualifies his attendance.

Thank you Deb! I'm beyond humbled by the invitation. We promise to represent Corvette in a way GM and Chevrolet will be proud. Can't wait to see the new car naked but we're thankful for everyone who chose to do business with us already. 20+ ZR1's and counting!

Let's not forget all of hard working folks on Corvette team either. They're the ones that keep this thing going for us all.

I look forward to meeting the owners and team members attending too.

Who wants to guess what color the new car is?
