River City Vettes
Ok, I've been working in Chattanooga for two weeks now - last Tuesday evening I'm out on Hwy 153 near Northgate and I notice all of these Corvettes parked by the Dairy Queen so I decide it's fast food night and pull in. I introduce myself and turns out it's the River City Vettes CLub. Very nice folks and we will be joining them when we arrive in a few more weeks. I even knew one couple in it already. They hang there every Tuesday night and at a Sonic on Wednesday's. Very social and some nice Vettes. THen another guy comes up in a red '65 Coupe that is absolutely the prettiest and nicest I have ever seen. He took a car that had sat up for years and turned into better than new - and I mean better than new. The body on that thing took 1-1/2 years to get done - it was rebuilt with the doors fiberglassed in and then recut to perfectly fit and I gaurantee you in 1965 there wasn't a vette around that the doors fit that perfectly - gaps and all - brand new. Numbers matched, but every other thing on the catr was new. everyone was frooling over this thing. The only thing that was different was an aftermaket "stinger" hood like was on the '67's. Black stinger on lipstick red.
Anyway, I can't wait to get going with this club - they will be fun. SMC is still on the list too.

We, SMC folk, hang out at Famous Dave's and Hooter's, not quite as fast food, but good food and fellowship. And a little smack talk on the side.

Re: River City Vettes (The Exception)
Love Famous Daves - we have one here in Nashville. My wife has something (Can't figure out what it is) against Hooters. Hope theres a good Famous Daves or another barbque place in Chattanooga. Where is the one in Knoxville (being a TVA'er Iam familiar with the Knox area)

You are in luck, there is a Famous Daves in Chatt. and the one in Knoxville is at the Cedar Bluff exit. This one also has our very own Jon Mackey as a manager.
