We had a great time at the Ecklers show
,
and had the
pleasure of meeting quite a few of the fine people who make up this forum. Those of you we didn't meet or see, we tried to find ya's, and sometimes we only found your car.
Congrats to go out to those of ya's that won awards, Kap and Larry
, we were in the crowd cheering ya's on
.
We even had the pleasure of meeting several Ladies from the Marion County Corvette Club, Judy and Clare, who we spoke with and then introduced us to several of their members. They actually inspired us to want to check out their club. We also informed them of this site, of which they had no idea existed. Giving them a flyer that they're going to Xerox and hand out at their next meeting
Although I didn't care much for the hoods down, tops up thing either, I guess I understand why it was done. But as soon as I had the opportunity to drop the top and pop the hood, I did.
Yea we registered to "show" our Vette's and to be judged, but for us it's not always about that or what "we" get to see in/on other Vette's. There's plenty of shows coming up, where we'll have the opportunity to see other vette's and their mods, because we're Vette owners.
For us, it's about meeting up with friends and sharing our cars with those who aren't Vette owners, those who'll only dream of owning a Vette and those who don't get to go to the Vette shows like we do. Watching the little kids faces (some of which belong to grown men) as they're in absolute Awe by the site of OUR Vette's, is a pretty cool thing. We also enjoy meeting others who own Vette's as well as those who don't.
I personally had several people aproach me asking if I'd start my car up and allow them to hear my Exhaust system. OHHHH YEA
!
A convertible Vette owner actually allowed a couple of people (one was a child) to sit in their car for a photo op
! Those are the sort of people I want to know.
To all of you that we met, It was a real pleasure.
To those of you that allowed us to hang out with you and let our hair down a bit (Kap, Carrie (SP?), Mary, Rob, 98Softail and his wife)...THANKS, it was FUN!!!
Kap, I'll bring the beer next time!
Rob, no more mini golf for you!
Sorry...to SteveK and his wife...It was good to see ya's again.

Sounds Great!
We had hoped that we'd be able to grab lunch (atleast as a family) during the show, but didn't want to take the chance on missing the judges.
bro...
There's a scratch on the window
