I'm a wanna be Vette owner that happens to hang out with a few Vette guys. Does that count for anything? I live in between Zimmerman and Princeton.

Here is my '4 door Vette'.



A few more pictures -- click here

I also hang out a little on the VetteAction site.

For Vette content, here is the C4 I Zaino'd for a friend.

Pipin' In.

Had my C3 for ~5 years now. Love it.

Have 2 kids with maybe a 3rd coming. Really want to add a C5 Z06 to the stable, but wife wont let me have both a C3 and a C5.

Really should get my "sports" fix with a backseat otherwise may not get the luxury of driving time. Maybe new Camaro (so sweet) or a 300C SRT8 or Charger SRT8.

I've met Keith who recently changed his forum ID to "Corvette Engineering" I think, and thats about it for Forum members here.

Brent....

Is anyone interested in cruising up to Wheels and Wings in Osceola, Wi? It's Saturday, Sept. 8. I'm actually meeting up with some guys from the Viper Club, and I'd like to have at least a couple more Vette's along.

I am 90 percent sure I will go... do you have a link to the event and what time we'll be leaving? How many sports cars in the caravan? sounds really fun.

I'm in. Not sure about 8am (like to sleep in a little on Sat). The pancakes might be worth the effort though. Those planes are pretty cool too.

You can add me to your list. Here's a few pics of my nearly restored 85.

Still haven't had much people show interest yet. Seems like time and day and giving up one of the last great summer weekends is the biggest issue. If we can get a solid group of YESES the time can be change to accomodate sleep. Obviously won't be able to make everyone happy.

I've signed up for screen names on other forums. i am trying to get as many different variety of fast cars as possible.

so far it's:
CORVETTES:
Interna- C5
The Beep- C4
FlyingLow-
AJR_01-

NON-CORVETTES:
Jeremy- Trilogy s/c Mercury Marauder (maybe, should know soon)


Maybe a Dodge Viper group if we can work out the times.

Hey! Isn't great summer weekends made for doing stuff like this? Weather permitting, I'll be there by 9 reguardless of anyone else showing up just to see the car show and planes.

It'd be nice to see a bunch of Vette's to.
