Default Establishing the Georgia Crew

A few of us have been discussing making the Georgia Vette Crew a little bit more 'official'. On this forum, Virginia has the RatPack, Florida has the Misfits, and Tennessee has the Smokey Mountain Cruisers......

As we are planning more and more events (lunch meetups, mountain runs, and mod days) I'd like to see this great group of local vette owners keep growing and having more exciting events like this.

So if any of you have any suggestions for a catchy name for the Georgia Crew, please - lets hear them!

Connie suggested "The Yellow Flakes".

I sort of liked The Georgia Vette Crew.

But Midnight Train is cool too.

I am going to take a shot at this since Georgia was the Fourth to become a State how about the “Fourth State Vette’s” or not only is Georgia known as the Peachtree State we are also known as the “Empire State of the South” or since the movie “Gone With the Wind” had its roots in Georgia. Just a couple thoughts.

Just some thoughts.

GA. Roadrunners
Fourth Gears <to kinda tie into the 4th state thing>
Road Grits <for you Grit fans>
EOS Vettes (Empire Of the South)
Pecan Paraders
Peachtree Paraders
GA. Roadkillz
Live Oak Vettes <after the state tree>
GA. Wave Runners <not only for the Corvette Wave, but also the Coke "wave" design...which Coke was invented in GA
Blackbeard Vettes <Didn't the Pirate make his home on Blackbeard Island?>

Just a few ideas to chew on.

nothing with peach or peach state. I wouldn't want to be confused with the Posse by the same name.

Jody, Thanks for all your efforts to get a GA group together. It's someting that should have been done long ago but nobody would take the lead. Kudos to you.

Ga. Roadkillerz or Roadrunners some good ideas

I had been thinking of something with Thrasher since the state bird is a Brown Thrasher.
