Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet and Cruisin Corvettes of Tallahassee are having their Corvette only car show on March 23. Lunch will be provided to entrants (last year was fried fish, shrimp, hush puppies and cheese grits) along with goody bags for the first 100 entries. The attached link has an entry form and more information. Please make plans to attend. http://www.cruisincorvettes.com/files/2013 flyer.pdf
 
So, how about some of you folks down state coming up to this show up north here in Tallahassee? Come on up and visit with us for a change. :yesnod:

I'm planning on having the blue C5Z there.
 
I'm assuming this is a "rain or shine" event?

I sure hope the weather takes a turn for the better.
 
It is "rain or shine", right now the forecast is questionable. If it does rain we will have room for everyone inside, tables were already going to be set up for everyone to eat lunch. Hopefully the forecast will change.
 
I guess I just need to watch the weather radar. I live on a dirt road that can get pretty darn messy when it rains. It's a real pain in the butt to have to remove sand/mud from the wheel wells, back bumper, and underneath the car, so I just don't take any of the cars out on rainy days.

So I guess I'll be getting up early on Saturday and looking at the radar to see if Connie and I will be coming out to the show. :shrug01:
 
So now the forecast on Saturday is only 50 percent chance of scattered thunderstorms. So it's getting better. :)
 
I was up till midnight last night working on the car to be ready to run to the show today. But I got up at 8:00 and checked the weather radar map and it didn't look good at all. Connie said it was sprinkling when she walked down the driveway to get the newspaper. So I went back to bed. Around 10 or so the skies opened up and it rained pretty steadily and heavily till just about 11:30. Lots of thunder and lightning, as well. From what I can see on the radar, Tallahassee got dumped on pretty good too.

Hopefully some diehards showed up for the show regardless of the weather.

Oh well, maybe next year.....
 
Probably a low turnout. We got three inches of rain up here Saturday and Sunday with a good bit of lightning. And then after it was almost over the power went off at 7:30 this morning. Didn't get it back on til after 1:00. Glad we had a breeze. It wasn't too bad with the windows open considering our thermometer was showing a high of 88*. It got up to 80* in the house.
 
as bad as the waether was, we still had 45 cars show up. We will be able to donate about $3000.00 to the Childrens Lighthouse from the proceeds of the silents auction items and entry fees.

That's impressive. Wonder how many would have went if the weather had been nice.
 
Yeah, that wasn't a bad turnout at all, considering the bad weather. I'm glad that there wasn't any hail associated with the storms. At least not at the show. That was a pretty powerful storm system.

Just rotten luck with the weather, I suppose. I was actually looking forward to going there, but not enough that I was willing to scrape mud off of the underside of my car afterwards.

Does the county have any plans to pave your road Rich?

Not that I know of. Is there a list of some kind available?

A while back the roads dept. sent around a survey that asked us if we would be willing to *donate* a 50 ft. wide easement through our property in order to have the road paved. As it is, the easement we show on our deed for the road only allows 15 ft. So they wanted quite a large chunk of land from us as the road runs straight through our property. We declined, of course.

IIRC they did the same thing on Bethel Road. Two or three owners declined so they paved the whole road except in front of the property owners who declined. I think they finally threatened Imminent Domain and got the whole thing paved, but I haven't been down that way in a few years, so not sure.
I think the county Road and Bridge Department has the info on which roads are approved for paving. With the economy as it is, I'm sure it's a small list.
 
Actually a good chunk of the road would be unpaved if they pulled the same stunt here, just considering what we own. Since this is a loop road, they could never support the contention in court that their action of Imminent Domain is a necessity for the common good of the county.

Yeah, I doubt the county has any money in the budget to pave any roads right now.
