It's a big party at the National Corvette Museum that attracts Corvette owners from all over the country every spring. It won't be happening this spring because of the pandemic.

Postponed based on the most current email I received:
2020 Michelin NCM Bash Update Registered Attendees,
Following the Center for Disease Control’s recommendation that for the next 8 weeks, organizers cancel or postpone in-person events that consist of 50 people or more, the National Corvette Museum has decided to reschedule the Michelin NCM Bash to May 28-30.

It would be a miracle if things have resolved by then, and I certainly hope that miracle occurs, but I doubt that it will.

Unfortunately, I think you're right.

I think you're right about that.
IMO, it's going to be long haul to overcome this thing.
Unfortunately, we're not close to a vaccine yet.
We are going to have to get use to a NEW way of living our lives.

I wish more people understood this simple fact of the car business. Everyone thinks it gets better every year, but in reality it usually only happens with a model change. Tadge did a great job of negotiating a big budget for the new mid-engine and spent most of it on everything you can see or touch. But underneath the sheet metal is where they saved money. This is probably the same area the accountants will attack and try to reduce costs as the years go by. Unfortunately, over time the engineers (spenders) lose control of the costs to the tight grip of the accountants, who want to save money.
