This may be something I'd like to do. I'm in SE Ok, but could travel with you, if your going as a group.

I'm going as well, but will head up early to visit family in Tennessee. I'll be attending the Bash on Friday, and returning to DFW on Saturday or Sunday. Please keep me in the loop on your plans, as I may want to caravan home with y'all.

Thanks, I was just making sure I was thinking about the same one. I'm from Kentucky, so I wasn't sure if there was something in Houston or SA that you were referring to. I would love to meet up and convoy down, but I'll still be in Afghanistan through that time, so hopefully we can link up next year.

Yes, but you have to park at the Hardee's down the street.

Sounds good. Back in the day when the forum used to have the Cruise-In we used to get caravans going and it made the trip easier.

Yes, that would be great . . . I haven't really found any Corvette guys in this area that want to take rides . . . . the car is so fun I just want to be able to enjoy it . . and i know caravans would be great!

thanks for the response and I will be in touch!

I like your Z51 - I have a 2014 C7 Z51 3LT Vert Black/Black . . . Great Cars!

Actually, I'm taking a road trip South in the Ferrari to the Rio Grande Valley.

Still planning on going? I need to check for cheap hotel since it'll just be me. I can stay anywhere, when the wife goes I make sure she is comfortable!

Planning on leaving DFW area very early, maybe around 6am.

Heading back Saturday, leaving early as well.

Who is with me to drive on those days?

Unfortunately, I'm just going to miss your times.

We're heading out Wednesday, but taking a few days to get there via non-interstate roads. We want to enjoy driving through the countryside and small towns. We're headed back on Saturday from my relatives' place in north Nashville. This time we're taking the interstate, but may not leave until 9:00 or 10:00 am.

I'll look for you at the Bash on Friday, though.
